Johnny Weir vs. Rudy Galindo

Here's Johnny Weir

There are tons of stuff to criticize Johnny Weir about because his P.R. team has done a horrible Job protecting his disaster off ice (what he divulged publicly in a typically calculated D-lister celebrity sorta way). a trio come to mind that really irks me about his flaky persona: 1. his obsessive wannabe Russo-fetish. 2. john's bitter jealousy of greek god, evan lysacek. 3. his gad-awful gaudy costumes, og!

gossip shouldn't be taken so seriously, as if we're qualified to choose sides, like paula abdul did on american idol, quite fabulously i might a.d.d.

and isn't Rudi DYING OF H.I.V. technically? HELLO. Rudy skated with Kristi YAMAGUCHI, who is of Japanese extraction, having most likely competed in the Far East, so i think he knows a thing or two about Asian etiquette or lack thereof.

i think westerners' short-term memory and lack of compassion are what's most tragic: not some catfight between former friends. obviously rudy was hurt by johnny weir's deplorable antics, opportunistic tendencies, besides his closeted homophobia, reminiscent of orthodox crusader priests. yeah, that's what johnny's skating career was: one, big mess of a self-hating queer. a majority of skinhead-nazis are expert at self-effacing stunts like johnny's.

what goes around, comes around, like a throw triple-axel rod.

what could have been, what could still be.
