Olympic Adoration: Nerdy Journalists Still Awed by Jocks
Life's social dynamic never really changes beyond high school. WIth the Olympics upon us, journalists are feasting on the fit bodies of athletes—so different than their (and our) own! There was the poetic ode to the wonders of swimmer Michael Phelps in the NYT's Play magazine, and now we have (presidential cousin) Billy Bush of Access Hollywood's breathless, "stream of consciousness" description of the "glutes" of the men's gymnastics team:
"These guys all have the same bodies. It's amazing. Stout, buff, compact. Gluteus muscles that could crack walnuts. Sorry... stream of conscience here."
Whoops! (You know, there's a "delete" button for embarrassing homoerotic slips.)
