Even the AP described the Olympics opening ceremony as "surreal". If it was weirder than the Atlanta, Georgia, ceremony, complete with paper birds and bizarro costumes, it would qualify as a Cirque du Soleil act, albeit without the gymnastic talent.
The flag was carried by eight women including Chilean Leftist Isabel Allende, American Leftist Susan Saradon, Nobel Peace Prize winner -- which probably means Left since the whole Nobel Prize thing is laughably, predictably Left -- Wangari Maathai and a classy Sophia Loren. The rest were athletes. I guess it would have been too much to expect that since it was an athletic event, the political hacks could have been avoided. But since few watch it anymore, I guess it doesn't matter except to the dwindling Left. And those spandex costume designers.
UPDATE: "Surreal" doesn't begin to describe the opening ceremony. "Bizarre" and "laughable" are terms that come to mind when you see more pictures from the event.
