Here is the transcript of the pertinent exchange: Quote: Tirico: On the ice, you see the rings, what’s going through your mind? Rippon: I want to throw up. I want to go over to the judges and say, “Can I just have a Xanax and a quick drink? I’ll be fine.” But I kept it together. It has many up in arms for talking about a prescription drug so flippantly. On the other hand, many believe that the comment was in jest. Regardless, Rippon is a sensation in America after his name trended worldwide as the top story on Twitter. I suppose there are some delicate flowers whose sensitivity demands that they have their televisions removed from their homes...and perhaps their books as well. Is their anything more gaggable than feigned shock?

He supplemented his “meals” with three cups of coffee, each sweetened with six packs of Splenda. Well, there go MY Olympic dreams. Edited by Trotsky, Feb 16 2018, 11:26 AM.
