Sasha Cohen does it again

This seems a fitting follow-up to Angelica's scary Al Gore as the Sasha Cohen of politics: even with the gold and bronze medalists from Turin gone, Cohen still managed to have a meltdown at the Figure Skating World Championships in Calgary:
As she'd done in Turin, Cohen on Saturday fumbled away a lead and a gold
medal. The 21-year-old from Corona del Mar fell once and botched the landings of
three other jumps in her long program, creating an opening that 16-year-old
Kimmie Meissner seized with the exuberance of an athlete who has no reason to
regard pressure as an enemy.

An omen for Al Gore? Sadly, though, I have no photoshopped image to offer you all.
