It's impressive that there isn't even a word for this in the English language.

If you promise to keep him, 78% of the US population will chip-in to send him there and buy him a golf club membership so you can determine that all by yourself.

You know I think he could not golf fine in the Netherlands. Maybe in a full service hotel in The Hague.

Satire is dead (none / 1)

Bush has given up golf for troops
Jonathan Martin, Politico

For the first time, Bush revealed a personal way in which he has tried to acknowledge the sacrifice of soldiers and their families: He has given up golf.
"I don't want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander in chief playing golf," he said. "I feel I owe it to the families to be in solidarity as best as I can with them. And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal."

Re: Satire is dead (4.00 / 3)

If he slices his drives like he falls off his bike or chokes on pretzels, the truth is he's probably stopping on medical advice.

Re: Wednesday Open Thread (none / 1)

He said he doesn't want military families to see the Commander in Chief playing golf.

What a stuck-up idiot he is, letting his Commander-in-chiefdom get to his head like that.

Re: Wednesday Open Thread (none / 1)

Since you all appear to say he ~~does~~ did play golf, he obviously doesn't want them to see just how bad he is...at golf that is...
