Kristi Yamaguchi supports the candidate of racist fear mongers.

She is currently featured in the 'Mitt Romney Saved The Olympics' Super PAC propaganda.

They are portraying it as only being about his involvement in the Olympics.

But no, she's a contributor and supporter:

Along with the Koch Brothers and the Sheldon Adelsons of the world, I think any public figure who bankrolls hate should be called out.

The S.O. thought she was Michelle Rhee, ed Deformer extrodinaire, so gave it a pass. I wasn't as generous.

but when I searched for "Michelle Lee" on yahoo, her pics came up all over the place.

You know I don't mind you keeping me straight on the facts. I don't want to be the idiot on the Internet who always has to be right.
