[HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: The Waaahhh!-nter Olympics (WAS Sarah Hughes - from my home town!)

Hung up on the President?  Huh?  Was there some little visual thing I
missed?  My vision is limited, so I mostly just see the actual skating; all
the little scenes that come after are lost on me.  I know there was the part
in the Opening Ceremonies where one of the skaters was *standing* by Bush
with a cel phone or something...is that what you're referring to?
