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.

She goes on to parallel the entire speech...concluding thusly:

It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us of getting rid of our slice on the public’s dime — that from this honored green we take increased devotion to that cause for which Bobby Jones, Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy gave their last full measure of devotion — and divots.

We here highly resolve that these golfing greats shall not have competed in vain, especially poor Tiger, and that this nation, under par, shall have a new birth of freedom to play the game that I have become unnaturally obsessed with, and that golf of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.

So help me Golf.

Can Bammy secure a position of the Islamic Caliph of Golf in a couple of years?

Next thing you know, the Lyin King will be removing all those pesky monuments, gravemarkers, and statues on that dandy piece of property off Rt 15 in PA and making it into a golf course.

It’s quite close to Washington DC, and all that 150 year old organic material buried beneath the sod keeps it nice and green.

Liberals are remarkably not funny, and this parody is not funny. Maybe because it is ridiculously pointless.

When she turned against Clinton, she got a new boyfriend to bring her back in line. Let’s see what she gets this time.

Sorry. I can’t read her dreck. She strains so hard to be clever that it all comes across as contrived and pedantic. She tries to be “hip” but is ever so droll. She a terrible columnist.

It’s a matter of time now. Each week he stays in office his post presidency value diminishes. Moochie will make more money for speeches in school lunch cafeterias than her hubby if he stays in office much longer.

Fore! Score. These are the jokes. She really needs to retire. And for somebody who hangs out with Barbra Streisand, you’d think she’d knock off the Martha Vineyard fat cat remarks.

the grisly murder of a 40-year-old American journalist

Apparently, some people are more important than others.

Posted to another thread by yours truly...

Flaming hypocrites all of them. They have tolerated his escapism for almost 6 years. It is only after he sits back as one of their brethren is murdered after swapping 5 terrorists for one deserter that they begin to get indignant.
