The Golf Address [Usually noxious Dowd slams Obama]
NY TIMES ^ | 8/23/14 | Maureen Dowd

Posted on 08/23/2014 6:12:40 PM PDT by SoFloFreeper

FORE! Score? And seven trillion rounds ago, our forecaddies brought forth on this continent a new playground, conceived by Robert Trent Jones, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal when it comes to spending as much time on the links as possible — even when it seems totally inappropriate, like moments after making a solemn statement condemning the grisly murder of a 40-year-old American journalist beheaded by ISIL.

I know reporters didn’t get a chance to ask questions, but I had to bounce. I had a 1 p.m. tee time at Vineyard Golf Club with Alonzo Mourning and a part-owner of the Boston Celtics. Hillary and I agreed when we partied with Vernon Jordan up here, hanging out with celebrities and rich folks is fun.

Now we are engaged in a great civil divide in Ferguson, which does not even have a golf course, and that’s why I had a “logistical” issue with going there. We are testing whether that community, or any community so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure when the nation’s leader wants nothing more than to sink a birdie putt.

Michael Douglas. He tried in Dowd for the much, much hotter Welsh beauty.

Michael Douglas used to be with Dowd. He traded up.

This irks Dowd.

Pathetic.

Maureen, are you worried that jihad johnny might come after you and obama won’t take time from golf to care? You built him, you own him.

The golf course is the only place he can go to hide from responsibility. Interrupting a man’s golf game is taboo.

I've been here a whole day longer than you and didn't know the reason.

Of course I was here for a couple of years before I knew what "LOL" meant. It was stupid then and still is.

It’s a brutal editorial. Course we knew all this 7 years ago. A little late to the party.
