George Bush Flip-Flops On Golf For McCain

Aww, poor George, He's been so good with abstaining from golf for the troops and now he's gonna rebreak the streak. His tireless sacrifice for our brave soldiers overseas is coming to an end for a purpose though. What's that purpose you ask? Well to keep our troops in Iraq for a hundred years or more!

From ThinkProgress:

The DC Examiner reports that next Monday, Bush’s parents will be hosting a high-dollar golfing fundraiser for Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) near their home in Kennebunkport, ME:

According to a solicitation sent by the McCain camp, for the low, low price of $5,000, you can play a round of golf at Cape Arundel Golf Course, Bush’s home course.

Both President Bush and Governor Jeb Bush will be stopping by to greet the foursomes,” the missive promises. “The course is reserved for this private group, and VIPs will be visiting during your round of golf. This event is a great way to end a weekend getaway, and we would be honored if you can attend.”

It’s unclear what Bush will do while everyone else is ignoring the war and golfing. Perhaps he’ll ride around in golf carts or simply make swinging motions with his arms.


Nah, I think he'll be golfing right alongside those that can afford a $5,000 for a round on the greens. Now that his knee has healed for the most part since he injured it (at the same time he "gave up" golfing) he should be raring and ready to break out the clubs for John "McSame" McCain.
