Q: Mr. President, you haven’t been golfing in recent years. Is that related to Iraq?

A: Yes, it really is. I don’t want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the Commander-in-Chief playing golf. I feel I owe it to the families to be as — to be in solidarity as best as I can with them. And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal.

Q: Was there a particular moment of incident that brought you to that decision, or how did you come to that?

A: I remember when de Mello, who was at the UN, got killed in Bagdad as a result of these murderers taking this good man’s life. And I was playing golf. I think I was in Central Texas. And they pulled me off the golf course and I said, it’s just not worth it anymore to do.”

Such was the content of a question and answer segment of a recent, much discussed interview with President George W. Bush. Keith Olbermann goes off in this Special Comment YouTube clip. Hold on for a second while I channel Keith Olbermann for Fantivity’s own Special Blogment:

Golf, Sir?

Golf?

Why did it have to be a sport, Mr. President? Did you think giving up golf would suffice as adequate solidarity for the millions of Fantivity blog readers gutted and mustachioed by the intrepid ennui of missed blog opportunities by YOUR refusal to do anything whatsoever athletic and by-God fantivitish?

(Slow, stern turn to Camera 2)

Golf. And we should expect nothing less from you, Good Sir. Mark Twain once mused that golf was to him “a good walk spoiled.” But you, sir. You. You have made war a good sport spoiled. And in so doing for that most egregious offense to the good blog-writing Americans, there will be no Eagle, no birdie, no par-for-the-course put for you, Mr. President. Only a double-bogie, a three-under par drop shot hack in the rough so gnarled and overgrown not even your precious Patriot Act, warmongering, brush-clearing obsession can redeem you. No, Sir. Mr. President. No, sir. Shame, Mr. Sir. Shame, Sir. President.

Good night and good luck.
