A sad commentary.

Sweet sassy molassey! A column in the recent issue of D Magazine is

freaking everybody out today, and with good reason! It contains the line:

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.

Here's the amazing part! The column was written by David Feherty, who

is best known as CBS' golf analyst. Yes. You read that correctly. CBS'

GOLF ANALYST. Talk about a good walk spoiled!

"Mr. Feherty's violent comments about Speaker Pelosi and Majority

Leader Reid are disgusting," said Media Matters president Eric Burns.

"Suggesting that our troops would attack the leaders of the very

democracy they've sworn to sacrifice their lives for is an insult to

their integrity, honor, and professionalism. CBS Sports should

demand its golf analyst apologize to our soldiers."

I grew up in the days of the original Richard Daley of Chicago, and the

Tafts of Ohio, and the Goldwaters of Arizona and the tell-em-hell-Harry

days on both sides. I look at the state of communication from the

spokespersons of both parties, but especially the Republican Party

and I think that the politicians of yore must be turning over in their

graves. I guess it goes back to the one voice during the Los Angeles

riots; "Can't we just get along together?" Perhaps, we can all agree

to disagree, but we still have to live with one another in the same country

on the same world.
