US Olympic Committee Asks Bush To Pull Ad

SI.com

Bush's political tie-in ad using the Olympics is illegal:

An act of Congress, last revised in 1999, grants the USOC exclusive rights to such terms as "Olympic," derivatives such as "Olympiad" and the five interlocking rings. It also specifically says the organization "shall be nonpolitical and may not promote the candidacy of an individual seeking public office."

Mr. Bush, we understand that while the nation was dealing with the "President above the law" nonsense in 1973, you were busy skipping out on your National Guard duty for whatever reason. However, ignorance of the law is not an excuse for breaking it. Pull the ad.
