NUDE olympians!!!!

Oh, the scandal....... well, actually, it seems to be a pretty calm scandal.

Cope, 25, was not available for comment here yesterday, but acknowledged to Playboy that her friends call her the Olympic nudist.

"People aren't comfortable with themselves," she is quoted as saying in comments that accompany her two photographs. "I'm a freak. I vote Republican, I worship Martha Stewart and I don't mind being naked."

I must admit I care little about the nudity. Voting Republican scares me to death, however.
