The golf summit

| | Comments (0) |

      The so-called Golf Summit over the weekend with President Obama and House Speaker John Boehner didn't tee-off too many on either side of the aisle.
      Fox News couldn't even shank a comment on this one, since Obama was smart enough to invite the loyal opposition.
      Not part of the father's day foursome on the links: John Edwards and Ahh-nold.
      There wasn't any way to know if the two (along with the third duffer of the foursome, VP Joe Biden) talked much shop.
      Or if they just talked trash.
      Here's some of what could've been said during the golfing holiday:
      1. "I can't help but notice that since you've become president your shot doesn't hook to the left as much."
      2. "What kind of sun block do you use to get that radiant orange hue on your face, Mr. Speaker?"
      3.  "Anthony Weiner wanted to be my caddy. I told him "too soon" to try and make a comeback."
      4. "I once invited Palin to shoot a round of golf. She brought her AK-47."
      5. "I'll name a Republican presidential hopeful and you name a pop tune that fits them. OK?"
          "OK."
          "Newt Gingrich."
          "Won't get Fooled Again."
          "Mitt Romney."
          "You Can't Always Get What You Want."
          "Michele Bachmann."
          "Can't Help Myself."
          "Rick Santorum"
          "Just My Imagination."
          "Tim Pawlenty"
          "Nowhere Man."
          "Ron Paul"
          "What a Fool Believes."
          "Herman Cain"
          "That'll Be the Day."
     

        Meanwhile, the Maverick has gone meshuggeneh.
    Arizona Sen. John McCain blamed the Arizona wildfires on illegal immigrants trying to sneak across the border.
    Talk about your en fuego.
    Since conservatives don't believe climate change is man-made, there goes your argument, Senator.
    And since it's the Almighty who can only mess with Mother Nature, maybe the Big Guy is taking it out out on Arizona for it's Wild West ways, including that rampage in Tucson in January. Or how the state is suddendly becoming too radical right wing paranoid to even visit anymore. Especially if your skin happens to be brown.
    Just saying.
    But Johnny Mac, blaming wildfires on illegal immigrants?
    What's next? OK, here's one you can use: Earthquakes are the result of overweight Americans simultaneously jumping up and down for joy.
    C'mon, Senator, we were content to think that your picking Palin as your running mate was the craziest thing you could've ever said or done.
    We kind of gave you the benefit of the doubt on that one. Senior moment and all that.
    But this latest rant is plain whacked.
    You were nearly elected president of the United States.
    Were you gonna act this way if you were president?
    With Palin only a heart beat away?
    They would've locked you up and thrown away the key. And she would've been president.
    Talk about your scorched earth.
