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.

At the end of the day, she’s an Obama fan though.

“Slams Obama” should not be confused with “would not vote for Obama if he were running today”.

The Drudge link takes you to the original editorial. Then after reading it, the comments are amazing. The true believers think Dowd has a negative fixation on him. They want her to back off and give him a break as he deserves some rest and distraction. But, they are not kidding! The left is truly more brainwashed and stupid than we could ever imagine.

It's a religion. Ironically enough, these "freethinkers" are more dogmatic than the vast majority of Christians.

So, now, as opposed to the Celtic myth of ‘The Morrigan’, we, here in America, now have .... THE MULLIGAN!!!

Yes, fellow Americans, we have The Do-Over President!

What? What do-over?!?!

Do-over Communism!
Do-over Recession, maybe even Depression!
Do-over Carter-era gas prices!
Do-over Carter-era rescue flops!
Do-over no gonads in front of a major world power!
Do-over Governmental regulations, but not to improve, but blanket you with MORE!
Do-over ghastly food prices!

Except, except...this time, because it is with Dear Reader, all those disasters are to be considered GOOD...remember? Higher prices, rescue flops, weakness abroad...those are all, under the auspices of the Mulligan Man, sources of “pride”.

Isaiah 5:20 applies.

Dear SoFloFreeper,

Since you referenced The Ta’anach, let me remind you what my old friend in NY, the Rabbi, would say:

“He should live so long!”

“pretty much eviscerates the O man, god she’d be fearsome to be married to... “

Very caustic and very effective, a bit like some of Ann Coulter’s strongest stuff. Unfortunately, in each case, it gives a good insight into the writer’s personality and an excellent ides of why neither has ever been married.

Apparently, some people are more important than others.

It took a horror like a beheading and Obama's total disreguard to wake up some of these people...
