Thread: Golf Analyst Feherty Sorry for Pelosi Joke in Dallas Magazin

Personally speaking, I thought it was quite funny :P :P :P :P

CBS Sports golf analyst David Feherty apologized Sunday to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid for a morbid joke that went bad in a Dallas magazine.

Feherty, one of the most popular golf analysts for his sharp wit and self-deprecating humor, was among five Dallas residents who wrote for "D Magazine" on former President George W. Bush moving to Dallas.

"From my own experience visiting the troops in the Middle East, I can tell you this though," Feherty wrote toward the end of his column.

"Despite how the conflict has been portrayed by our glorious media, if you gave any U.S. soldier a gun with two bullets in it, and he found himself in an elevator with Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Osama bin Laden, there's a good chance that Nancy Pelosi would get shot twice, and Harry Reid and bin Laden would be strangled to death."

Feherty, a former Ryder Cup player who grew up in Northern Ireland, has gone to Iraq over Thanksgiving the past two years to visit with U.S. troops, and he created a foundation to help wounded soldiers.

"This passage was a metaphor meant to describe how American troops felt about our 43rd president," Feherty said in a statement. "In retrospect, it was inappropriate and unacceptable, and has clearly insulted Speaker Pelosi and Senator Reid, and for that, I apologize. As for our troops, they know I will continue to do as much as I can for them both at home and abroad."

Feherty has lived in Dallas the past dozen years. Along with working for CBS Sports, he writes a monthly column for Golf magazine and has written four books, the last one titled, "An Idiot for All Season."

CBS Sports distanced itself from Feherty's writing, saying it was "an unacceptable attempt at humor and is not in any way condoned, endorsed or approved" by the network. The PGA Tour also criticized him for an attempt at humor that "went over the line."

Oh boohoo! Poor, little Rush Limbaugh! Let's all run to this gentle soul's defense. He would never joke about somebody like mean ol' Wanda Sykes does.

He would certainly never mock someone who actually has Parkinson's Disease:

Or someone who actually has a brain tumor:

No poor Rush is just an innocent victim. It's sick to see people beating up on the "little guy" like this.

As a matter of fact, I don't remember Bush giving the troops an apology when he made fun of our troops!

Enough of this PC bullcrap! Pelosi shouldn't get an apology. It was a joke. Has American become so PC that we can't even take a joke anymore?
