The Wounded-Courier:
Bush Golfing Again, Says "Long Nat'l Nightmare" Over
(satire)
...............
BRIT HUME: Mr. President, were there any moments during your near five-year cessation of playing when you didn't think you'd make it? Any times that specifically tried your soul or caused you to doubt your mettle?
PRESIDENT BUSH: Hmm. You know, not off the top of my - well, there was one very trying time, after Hurricane Katrina. I was flying in Air Force One above the wreckage below and one of my staffers informed me that he'd forgotten to Tivo the previous night's American Idol. I've never told anyone this, Brit. But flying over the devastation of the Gulf Coast at that moment, the thought of not being able to return as soon as possible to the White House and wind down with Ryan, Simon, Paula and Randy and a pint of Chunky Monkey...well, I was just devastated. That's when, you know, you lean on your faith. Because you're thinking, "What kind of god would cause me to miss Idol." I'll admit I almost played a few holes that day.
BRIT HUME: But--
PRESIDENT BUSH: No, no, I didn't. I told the American people I don't waver. In other words, I'm not a waverer. No, I went mountain biking instead that day. I made a promise to our courageous soldiers. A botched Tivo job wasn't going to cause me to break that sacred oath to them and the American people.
BRIT HUME: Truly inspiring, Mr. President. Positively Churchillian.
