Finding Time To Fight Terrorism In-between Holes

Here's one just for fun, except, as usual it's all real.

I can't wait till I get my video editing system set up so I can provide clips of this stuff online when I see them on TV. I saw this on the Daily Show a few nights back and couldn't believe my eyes.

With his golf club at the ready, and wagging his finger for emphasis, Dubya commented, "There are a few killers who want to stop the peace process that we have started. We must not let them."

The six-sentence statement complete, Dubya thanked reporters, then smirked and ordered: "Now watch my drive."

Don't forget to try out the Quote Navigator!

(Aw, come on. Is it really so important for one to unite one's tenses?)

It was a quick shift from angry statesman to Sunday golfer. Dubya rose before dawn for a round of golf with his father at the Cape Arundel Golf Club, but was "distressed" to learn of another suicide bombing in Israel. With his golf club at the ready, and wagging his finger for emphasis, Dubya commented, "There are a few killers who want to stop the peace process that we have started. We must not let them."

The six-sentence statement complete, Dubya thanked reporters, then smirked and ordered: "Now watch my drive."

On the same golf course a month ago, White House advisers pleaded with Dubya to "try not to look like you're on a golf course" when he made a brief statement on the assassination of an Afghan vice president. Apparently it's harder than his staff imagined to separate the sensibilities of a privileged rich kid from those commanded of the Commander-in-Chief.
