  • CBS GOLF ASSHOLE HAS MURDER PLANS FOR, UH, NANCY PELOSI: “From my own experience visiting the troops in the Middle East, I can tell you this, though: 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.” [The Hill]

    But would he serve President Obama some fried chicken and watermelon?

  2. Custerwolf says at 5:48 pm, May 8th, 2009

    I’d shoot the first two people who tried to yell “FORE!” if a golf ball were hurling toward this fucker’s head.

  3. chascates says at 5:53 pm, May 8th, 2009

    “…troops love former President Bush by contrast, and praised the former commander-in-chief for having prevented additional terrorist attacks during his time in office.”

    Sure.

  4. V572625694 says at 5:53 pm, May 8th, 2009

    Yet more evidence of the way sports build character.

    Why do people play golf?

    And why (an even deeper mystery) do people watch golf on television?

  5. DangerousLiberal says at 5:54 pm, May 8th, 2009

    Hasn’t this guy been busted for calling all LPGA members lezbos? If not, whatever. Let’s just waterboard him, for the lols, also.

  6. prophet1195 says at 5:54 pm, May 8th, 2009

    And it’s talking about people like Keith Luke. You remember him, don’t you?

    http://www.wickedlocal.com/brockton/news/police_and_fire/x1393564889/VIDEO-EXTRA-Accused-killer-Keith-Luke-in-Brockton-court-with-swastika-on-his-forehead

    In prison they’ll get to watch as much Hannity as they want, and continue
    attending their Christian church services. FOX’s like paradise for them.

    Yipes! Beavis & Butthead grown-up, for reals.

    I like the last sentence of the first para of his wiki. Really sums up such a thoughtful quote.

    David Feherty (born 13 August 1958) is a former European Tour and PGA Tour professional golfer, who now works as a writer and broadcaster. He is known by many for his good sense of humour.

  8. Why don’t you pass the time by playing a little solitaire?

  9. Accordion-o-rama says at 5:58 pm, May 8th, 2009

    No wonder Feherty retired, recommending shooting a 2 on a par one.

  10. A Better American Than YOU says at 5:59 pm, May 8th, 2009

    It’s 5 p.m. on Friday. I must soon drink.

  11. Scarab says at 5:59 pm, May 8th, 2009

    Wait… wait… back up, it’s in an article “welcoming former President George W. Bush back to Dallas”?
    OK, just checking.

  12. walkaway says at 6:00 pm, May 8th, 2009

    Or how about they would put a bullet or two in bin Laden and not shoot ANY elected representatives of the government of the country they are sworn to protect because they are goddamn professionals who recognize that we do not do things by military coup in this country?

    Part of this support-the-troops thing the right is always going on about? Having the courtesy to recognize that they tend to be decent and patriotic individuals, not fucking mercenaries who settle their political differences with US-issue weapons while in uniform.

  13. Scarab says at 6:03 pm, May 8th, 2009

    “Mr. President, you certainly can’ t say that Dallas doesn’t love you.”
    *CRACK* *CRACK* *CRACK*

  15. V572625694 says at 6:08 pm, May 8th, 2009

    walkaway: Well said. Now take a deep breath. The one thing you can tell about this douche bag Feherty without even looking it up is that when his country needed healthy young men to defend it, he was out on the back nine.

  16. Lemming Caution says at 6:10 pm, May 8th, 2009

    walkaway: well-put - my Navy husband *despises* Bush, but didn’t talk about it much during the administration, because part of his duty is to not badmouth the representatives of the people they are sworn to protect.

    this appeared in “D Magazine”? Seriously? Dallas really shouldn’t set itself up so easily - I mean, I was thinking that this must have appeared in “Douchebag Magazine” *before* I saw the name.

  17. Custerwolf says at 6:10 pm, May 8th, 2009

    Accordion-o-rama: Oh, the irony. I could just club him with it.

  18. sati demise says at 6:12 pm, May 8th, 2009

    walkaway: right on. interesting!

  19. walkaway says at 6:16 pm, May 8th, 2009

    V572625694: Haha, yeah, Friday afternoon drinking brings out my inner rage, apparently. [tries calming yoga breaths]

  20. theo says at 6:17 pm, May 8th, 2009

    Men’s Pro Golf: 95% rich conservative assholes, 5% too drunk to answer the question.

  21. JSDC007 says at 6:18 pm, May 8th, 2009

    And for that reason, Nancy Pelosi will see to it that Soldiers for Bush will stay in Baghdad forever. Baba Ghanoush, anyone?

  22. Jukesgrrl says at 6:19 pm, May 8th, 2009

    Says more about golfers than it says about either Nancy Pelosi or our soldiers.

  23. chascates says at 6:23 pm, May 8th, 2009

    Jukesgrrl: It looked like a neat hobby until I ran into a bunch of people who did it. It IS a good walk spoiled.

  24. saggyboobedhag says at 6:35 pm, May 8th, 2009

    What happens to golf announcers who trash Republicans?

  25. saggyboobedhag says at 6:35 pm, May 8th, 2009

    Or is he actually trashing the anonymous US soldier?

  26. TeddyS says at 6:43 pm, May 8th, 2009

    Deep thinking for this maroon is whether to use somebody should use nine iron approach when a slight breeze is blowing left to right on the sixth hole, a par five with a back-sloping green. In reverent, whispered tones, I commentate: Fuck him.

  27. Not_So_Much says at 6:51 pm, May 8th, 2009

    Meh — this guy does irreverent humor for a living and his writing is actually enjoyable (usually). Really naive to think his Dallas-focused piece was just going to stay in Dallas. He’s going to get crucified for this.

  28. Kingbee says at 6:57 pm, May 8th, 2009

    Hahaha! Nancy Pelosi should knock this dweeb’s balls around with a 9-iron, then crank them through the washer a few times.

  29. slappypaddy says at 6:57 pm, May 8th, 2009

    i been turnin this thing round and round and i can’t find the funny in it. must be my military background. time for a drink.

  30. the lady MS.Sheila Dixon says at 7:06 pm, May 8th, 2009

    Custerwolf: You are a funnny, freaky-ass, slut. I know you consider that a compliment, so you’re welcome.

  31. Scandinavian Fetus says at 7:06 pm, May 8th, 2009

    The bacteria of bacteria have more edumacation than this sportscaster.

  32. snideinplainsight says at 7:09 pm, May 8th, 2009

    What would be good would be if some Army people and/or some other golfers came forward to say “Geez, that guy with his Pelosi comment, we want to say that that was beyond the pale. Noone else thinks like that. That guy is nutty and deserves our opprobrium.”

    But really, nobody is going to get the opprobrium. Nobody even is going to mention the opprobrium. It’s all going to be like “Will Tiger Woods do it again!!!?!?!11!”

    The opprobrium will probably just stay on the shelf there next to the empathy -

  33. Custerwolf says at 7:16 pm, May 8th, 2009

    the lady MS.Sheila Dixon: And as long as I have a face you will always have a place to sit.

  34. GreatOldOnesParty says at 7:28 pm, May 8th, 2009

    walkaway: That would mean that they would have to start acting like adults, and that’s not being fair.

  35. GreatOldOnesParty says at 7:35 pm, May 8th, 2009

    GreatOldOnesParty: and by “them” I mean the conservatards who have a hard on for the military but wouldn’t have the common sense to NOT hand someone a loaded weapon barrel-first.

  36. Holding Out for a Hero says at 7:39 pm, May 8th, 2009

    Lemming Caution: My ex-Army, ex-husband (got that?) said way back in 2000 that W was a “spoiled ass ignorant frat boy getting by on his family name and that there would be hell to pay if elected”

    Only thing the man was ever right about…ever…also

  37. Custerwolf says at 7:43 pm, May 8th, 2009

    Custerwolf: I just hurled in my mouth a little. I really need to work on my stripped ‘t’s.

  38. edgydrifter says at 7:55 pm, May 8th, 2009

    The math is simple. Golf + Texas = Insufferable pee-drinkers.

  39. bitchincamaro says at 8:20 pm, May 8th, 2009

    Is this going to turn into one of those gun-nut threads? ‘Cuz if it is, I may have to go hit some balls.

  40. snideinplainsight says at 8:36 pm, May 8th, 2009

    Well, in truth, it’s hard not to like just a little bit someone who says this;

    Feherty said that his therapy for depression was instrumental with him getting off the bottle, saying that “I used alcohol to mask my inner demons”. The outspoken columnist then took a shot at actor and noted Scientologist Tom Cruise, who has said that therapy and drugs are useless and that depression can be cured by physical exercise: “Actually, some sort of exercise would have helped me. If I kicked the shit out of Tom Cruise, I’d feel a lot better about myself.”

  41. Hey, I have an idea says at 8:42 pm, May 8th, 2009

    I’m not sure an elevator is a good place for a gun battle. How about a treehouse?

  42. Links says at 9:23 pm, May 8th, 2009

    And from my experience with people, the odds that an average person know who Nancy Pelosi is and what the Speaker of the House does is minimal. To give you some perspective: a man asked me what the difference between a credit card and debit card is in the grocery store yesterday. I think that man has a lot to learn before we get to the branches of the government.

  43. Adolf Bachmann says at 9:29 pm, May 8th, 2009

    Judging by the suicide rate of our troops deployed in the Middle East, odds are Mr. Anonymous GI would save at least one of those bullets for himself.

  44. MGBYG says at 9:38 pm, May 8th, 2009

    Okay, I’ll bite…

    So just how does one get Nancy, Harry, and the CIA Spook into the same elevator?

    Why would any well-trained military personnel merely have 2 bullets?

    So, 3 adults and a shooter in a standard 2m x 2m lift…it would have to be a hand gun…and one bullet can do magic (thanks, Spector)…even more so at close range…

    Clearly it is treasonous to suggest the murder of any elected official, not phunny in the least, and frankly, not thought-out very well, either. Fail all around.

  45. WadISay says at 9:43 pm, May 8th, 2009

    Golf clap to him (”clap” meaning, in this instance, case of the crabs).

  46. Perhaps if he had whispered it while showing idyllic images of rolling grass and trees, it would have had less of an edge to it.

  47. Hey, I have an idea says at 10:00 pm, May 8th, 2009

    p.s. Is the U.S. soldier then going to drink their blood? And if so, the one he shot or strangled? Just wonderin.

  48. Buzz Feedback says at 10:08 pm, May 8th, 2009

    Feherty: Not from here. Drunk most of the time.

  49. Lazy Media says at 10:14 pm, May 8th, 2009

    From my own experience serving in Iraq, I can tell you that 90 percent of the troops below field grade rank have no opinion about Harry Reid or Nancy Pelosi, and most of them haven’t even heard of either of them. 99 percent of the troops (including me) have never heard of this golf asshole.

  50. Custerwolf says at 10:26 pm, May 8th, 2009

    Custerwolf: Shit, I forgot that phrase has been outlawed here. May I use the term “technicolor yawn”? Very well then.

  51. Custerwolf says at 11:02 pm, May 8th, 2009

    Lazy Media: Thank you so much for your service. I owe you.

  52. DC Hates Me says at 11:30 pm, May 8th, 2009

    From your CSI psychology: Shooting is impersonal while strangling is physical and up-close. David sounds queerly closeted.

  53. Capitol Hillbilly says at 11:48 pm, May 8th, 2009

    V572625694: the mere fact that human beings invented both golf and teevee is a testament to our capacity for perversity.

  54. schvitzatura says at 12:18 am, May 9th, 2009

    Feherty, please return to Ireland and get caught in the middle of a RIRA/PSNI firefight.

    Sláinte Mhath, also!

  55. answerbird says at 1:58 am, May 9th, 2009

    slappypaddy: It would have been funnier if a priest and rabbi were also on the elevator.

  56. Mojopo says at 2:42 am, May 9th, 2009

    Have you ever noticed how fucking violent conservatives assholes are? It makes me want to punch them all in the neck.

    This is exactly why I prefer Pinko Liberals. All they ever impose on people in the smell of their patchoili oil and have group butt sex with ugly people. Everyone is happy about it, too!

  57. Mojopo says at 2:44 am, May 9th, 2009

    Uh… patchouli! Excuse me. Do you have a Kleeenex?

  58. Mojopo says at 2:47 am, May 9th, 2009

    Jeez, I’m sorry about those typos. Don’t you hate it when you’re typing with one hand and trying to reach under the sink for a bottle of vermouth at the same time? One day I will learn.

  59. Bruno says at 3:09 am, May 9th, 2009

    That does not sound like an effective murder-suicide spree. You are supposed to save one bullet to off yourself at the end. Who’se ever ended a murder-suicide spree by strangling themselves? Our troops at least know that.

  60. Bruno says at 3:14 am, May 9th, 2009

    V572625694: “Why do people play golf? And why (an even deeper mystery) do people watch golf on television?”

    It would be alot more interesting if they got that guy who shouted GOAL GOAL GOAL like in Mexican Soccer

  61. gurukalehuru says at 3:17 am, May 9th, 2009

    I don’t understand the right wing’s hatred of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. What have they ever done to make them angry?

  62. MrsNateSilver says at 8:36 am, May 9th, 2009

    prophet1195: Yeah, I saw that on the front page of my mom’s Patriot Ledger. Ah Brockton. The Pride of Mass. What an evil twat that fat fucker is. I hope he gets some more razors, this time maybe to his wrists so the world can be rid of this useless piece of shit.

  63. zhubajie says at 10:39 am, May 9th, 2009

    From my experience of the military, I’d guess they are mostly interested in booze and pussy and probably dope as well. Some may be Reptiles, some may be Demons, lots will be nothing political.

    Zhu Bajie

  64. zhubajie says at 10:40 am, May 9th, 2009

    kthxbai…also: Was he a Viet Nam era draft dodger? It’s a requirement for older Republifucks, isn’t it?

    Zhu Bajie

  65. zhubajie says at 10:44 am, May 9th, 2009

    snideinplainsight: I doubt he has the courage to actually attack Tom Cruise.

    Zhu Bajie

  66. zhubajie says at 10:48 am, May 9th, 2009

    Bruno: It was a joke by some drunken Scots! Robin Williams revealed this years ago.

    Zhu Bajie

  67. Bearbloke says at 3:33 pm, May 9th, 2009

    MrsNateSilver: It would be such a shame if this worthless twat got MRSA AND HIV through that pretty little cum-target forehead Swastika of his… what?… no, really?… MRSA is all over the fuckin’ place in prisons?… wow, ya don’t say….

  68. Custerwolf says at 3:37 pm, May 9th, 2009

    Bearbloke: I compliment your boldness, sir.

  69. GreatOldOnesParty says at 4:23 pm, May 9th, 2009

    Bearbloke: and hospitals. especially hospitals.
    all those antibacterial disinfectants breeding a strain of unstoppable UBERbacteria.
    they’d have to remove chunks of his forehead.

  70. GreatOldOnesParty says at 4:30 pm, May 9th, 2009

    prophet1195: if you watch that video, look at the side of his head where the muscles are that connect to his jaw bone. This kid may be smilin’ on the outside, but he knows he’s fucked.

  71. DangerousLiberal says at 9:20 pm, May 9th, 2009

    Scarab: For the win.

  72. Guppy06 says at 10:59 pm, May 9th, 2009

    People, please! We should follow Barry’s example in our personal lives and find ways to reach across the aisle and find issues, everybody can support, like hating on Pelosi and Reid!

  73. SaveTheBirds: says at 1:12 am, May 10th, 2009

    David Feherty is afraid. Afraid that some Muslims or Negros might overrun his own personal golf course.

    But now that Dubya’s moving in, there’s an added measure of security, for the time being, at least.

    Still, he’s always got that gig at “D Magazine.” The premier publication for golfing and over-priced restaurants in Dallas.

  74. Trace says at 8:14 am, May 10th, 2009

    I don’t know why I read the comments on sites like that. Some super genius complains that those villainous liberals at Media Matters didn’t raise a stink about that “documentary,” Death of a President.

    You know, because that’s exactly the same thing as what Feherty said.

    I’m surprised this deep thinker didn’t complain that Media Matters never demanded an apology for the scene in W. where fake Bush is fake choking on a fake pretzel. That was clearly an attempt on the fake presidents’ life by the writers!

    It makes sense if you’re fucking stupid.

  75. plowman says at 9:08 am, May 10th, 2009

    At the close range of an elevator the standard issue M-16A2 bayonet would be more than adequate for the job described here…

    What’s missed in all this liberal foaming-at-the-mouth is the very real disconnect between The Left and the Joe/Jose Six-packs of the world, there are a lot of us out here in all different colors and places. Nancy Pelosi is the poster child for filthy-rich liberal politicos who wants the rabble to shelp around on mass transit to save the planet while she takes a government jetliner home for the weekend but thinks we are too stupid to notice, fuck that bitch!

  76. Custerwolf says at 11:03 am, May 10th, 2009

    plowman: Oh shut up and move to the back of the bus.

  77. gjdodger says at 11:29 am, May 10th, 2009

    Speaking of all different colors, I think the drunken Irish golf guy actually wanted to have John Boehner strangled, but he’s afraid all that orange glop Boehner paints all over himself would get all over his hands.

  78. 102415 says at 1:21 pm, May 10th, 2009

    plowman: Weird, cause all the Jose’s voted for Obama and most of the Joe’s out in the six-pack areas did too. Personally, as a wacky rich ass liberule I want them to take away your car and your gun and make you walk. Everywhere. Always. Barefoot.Unarmed. Not everyone, just you.
    It’s Mother’s day go love your mother.

  79. EdFlinstone says at 1:58 pm, May 10th, 2009

    Man, reading the comments on The Hill sites was hilarious. Its not hard to see why the republican party if going the way of the Whigs. Im surprised the people agreeing with Feherty on there get access to media from their bunkers.

  80. zenferret says at 2:57 pm, May 10th, 2009

    DC Hates Me: Well a good soldier would shoot the one most likely to kill them leaving the weaker for later.

    So the mean old grandma lady is more of a threat than the Mormon or the Muslim?

  81. zenferret says at 2:58 pm, May 10th, 2009

    plowman: Nancy should ride the Metro to California like a good American!

    Wha?

  82. zenferret says at 2:59 pm, May 10th, 2009

    Custerwolf: Do short buses have backs?

  83. plowman says at 4:00 pm, May 10th, 2009

    102415: Man, I hate to break this to you but Pelosi and Obama are TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE.

  84. 102415 says at 7:05 pm, May 10th, 2009

    plowman: No shit?!!I had no idea a troll would know that. I’m glad to hear you and the various Joes voted for Obama. Carry on.

  85. Hagar77 says at 11:50 pm, May 10th, 2009

    Jesus Christ please do not ever link to The Hill again. I was totally unprepared for the amount of gibbering, slavering, wild-eyed right-wing lunacy in the comments. It’s like Free Republic + “28 Days Later” over there.

  86. tropaean says at 6:32 am, May 11th, 2009

    V572625694: And why (an even deeper mystery) do people watch golf on television?

    Because it is slightly more interesting than watching turds turn white.

    Slightly.

  87. plowman says at 11:56 am, May 11th, 2009

    102415: Glad to be of service to you! Hey, I kind of like you, when we sansculottes take over maybe I’ll put in a good word for you before you are liquidated…
