While I'm certainly not outraged by Irina's comments, I do find myself mildly annoyed. It's not really so much the hamburger thing, but more the claim that we...

... I am definitely with you on that point! My first thought on reading Irina's comment was that she saw "somebody's husband" who's not much of a skating fan ...

I'm sure there is a lot of truth to what you say ... it's just that, as an American who has enjoyed Irina over the years, what she said made me feel a little...
