| Meet Judson Phillips, Founder of the Tea Party Nation |
Whether it is blaming George Bush for his failures or simply being an empty suit, real Americans consider him a joke.
Now, he may be facing an attack from an unusual quarter.
Read this and see if you can guess the author:
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.
We are met on a great field of that battle, not Augusta, not Pebble Beach, not Bethpage Black, not Burning Tree, but Farm Neck Golf Club in Martha’s Vineyard, which we can’t get enough of — me, Alonzo, Ray Allen and Marvin Nicholson, my trip director and favorite golfing partner who has played 134 rounds and counting with me.
We have to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for my presidency, if I keep swinging from behind.
That prose could have come from any number of conservative websites or writers. Ann Coulter would have been very comfortable writing this.
No this came from the pages of the New York Times. The writer is Maureen Dowd. Yes, the same Maureen Dowd who is to the left of Obama.
If Obama has lost Dowd and the New York Times, he has lost the left. His last two years aren’t going to be a lot of fun for him.
On second thought, he won’t care. He will be on the golf course.
