Filed under: Golf, PGAWhatever your ideological leanings, and with the full understanding that politics, particularly in an election year, is about winning by any means necessary, this seems ... well, weird. And while it's not blatantly racist, it certainly is uncomfortable to watch. Um, huh? (You can watch David Bellavia's entire introduction after the jump.)

But maybe we're too quick to judge Bellavia; I mean, he could've said, "you can have your Pacman Jones and/or Chris Henry." At least he gave Democrats the upstanding young black man.

Earl Woods, of course, was a Green Beret and Vietnam veteran, so to have his son's name invoked in an insulting fashion at a war rally apparently by another military man is appalling. Yes, and John Kerry agrees with this message. In related news, Fuzzy Zoeller will be introducing Senator McCain at a campaign stop at Rose Ridge Golf Course later this summer. Should be fun.Continue reading Senator John McCain May Have Just Lost the Cablinasian VotePermalink | Email this | Comments more...
