The Olympics are a world phenomenon, and many tune in to watch them. The players in the Olympics train hard. Watching them do their magic while the world tunes in can be awe-inspiring. But I want to speak of another Olympic festival. This is the “Jim Acosta” Olympics. On CNN this weekend, Acosta decided to the amusement of many to make up his own Olympics — starring Republicans.

Everybody needs a break from the crazy sometimes. So into the magical land of amusement, we went! And what an enchanting land it was! Like Narnia, Acosta-land was just beautiful and quite laughter-filled. The King of Acosta-Land explained all about the “Maga Olympics.”

“There are some major players to watch,” said Acosta solemnly. First up was Olympic speed-skater Kevin McCarthy. Acosta-land even showed the speed skater’s performance — running down Capitol halls breathlessly weaving and bobbing while many competitors strained to catch up.

“Like Kevin McCarthy speed-skating about the RNC labeling January 6th as legitimate political discourse,” said Acosta.

Next up was Tonya Harding — or, as Acosta charmingly put it, “the Tonya Harding of the House GOP, Marjorie Taylor Greene.”

“Marjorie Taylor Greene who discovered a fly in her canned talking points” said Acosta.

Then we arrived at Mariachi fan Ted Cruz.

‘Perhaps Ted Cruz could compete,” said Acosta.

“Cancun is probably too warm for the Winter games — unless there’s a Tequila Luge.”

Ouch! I think that Cruz would be a terrible skater since his words constantly fall on their ass as well as garnering Twitter ratios, the likes of which are rarely seen. Then it was on to the Lord of the Lies himself: “Perhaps in 2024, Trump could run under the TIC – The Trump Insurrection committee. He could bring home yet another gold toilet.”

I hope you enjoyed this charming romp into Acosta-Land. I also hope CNN realizes they have a comedian, not just a great journalist.
