I think it was Bobby Jones who said that if you want to judge a man's true character, watch him play golf.

What'd they expect when clintler showed up at the course wearing soccer shoes?

[arly]

Wowww you would think Beelzebubba would be a pretty good golfer by now, he sure had enough practice for eight years when he was pretending to be a president!

HE LIES UNDER OATH

AND CHEATS AT GOLF

I think it was Bobby Jones who said that if you want to judge a man's true character, watch him play golf.

I heard Rush on this subject a while back - he was talking about why so many business people golf, and do deals on the links. His point was: you can learn everything you need to know about a person's character playing a round of golf with them. If they tend to cheat, they will cheat at golf. If they lie, steal, drink too much, have a bad temper, etc. it will show in a round of golf. You see I guess ClIntern has proven that to be true!

Who gives a crap? Other than all of this is done with our money for his protection. Love having my tax dollars go to expensive protection of felons while they travel the world and play golf.

[socal_parrot]

Deep.

[BigWaveBetty]

For your amusement.... Caption the golfing monkey!

Those wacky Irish.........

The Clintons are no strangers to Ireland, either. In fact, several of our favorite Clinton tales have sprung up from the old sod.

Like the time Mr. Clinton's astute advance team uncovered more than one potential diplomatic embarrassment in the village of Ballybunion, where this columnist's ancestors (a dozen brothers in all) ran a beach-side bathhouse that's still in operation today.

Sharp-eyed presidential scouts, canvassing the historic village before Mr. Clinton's arrival to play a round at Ballybunion's world-famous golf course, spotted a suspicious sign nailed above a boarded-up hairdresser's shop: "Monica's."

Within minutes, village fathers (no doubt with wide grins on their faces) were scrambling up a ladder to take the sign down.

Then there was the yarn surrounding the Clinton statue built in the same village. It portrays the former president swinging a golf club, one of his favorite leisure-time activities. Except that from a certain angle, the club resembled a phallic symbol.

This unique interpretation of the presidential icon led to "ferocious negotiations" between the White House advance team and villagers, it was reported, before Mr. Clinton would be allowed to unveil his peculiar likeness.

waiting for Clinton's foursome to arrive

Bubba is one long double entendre.

[mountaineer]

After hitting a horrible tee shot - "That's the first time I've done that all day," he said, fibbing again - Clinton unabashedly took out another ball and hit his umpteenth mulligan. He topped this drive and hit a low screamer about 120 yards, over the cart path into the left rough. By the time he reached his ball, it had miraculously reappeared in the fairway. Apparently, there was a least one Democrat in his gallery.

This makes me sick. If this creature ever showed up on my home course (I don't have to worry, it's a little public course in the middle of nowhere), he'd get a low screamer right between the eyes. (In the figurative sense, that is, for any US Secret Service lurkers - this was not a threat)

[Libloather]

"That shows the value of following through."

I can only guess how many times Moanica had to hear that...

[GoldnGate]

If one notices closely ... none of his playing partners ever keep "His Score" nor do any of the "Official Score Keepers" reveal his actual score .... for fear of ????

Heheheh. Good one.
