Like Obama, Clinton Sucks at Bowling

Clinton bowling

If the election comes down to bowling ability, the Democrats are in serious trouble. Hillary Clinton poked fun at her rival’s poor showing at the lanes, but it turns out she can’t bowl either. Of course, there’s no evidence John McCain would fare any better. Is it too much to ask that the next president be able to roll a ball in a straight line?

the candidates posted low scores precisely because they did attempt to roll the ball in a straight line down the middle of the lane. as any experienced bowler can tell you, the proper way to deliver the ball is with spin, so the ball moves in a hooked arc: outward from the middle, then back inward.

Is Karaoke or Beer Pong next. Keep these Presidential real world job skill reviews coming.

The list of what these “candidates” can’t due already is apparent. They’re all in Congress.

Of course.  We all know that the average voter wants a President who would be fun to have a beer with, which is why we elected a guy who will even, as a recovering “I don’t think I was an alcoholic”, let you drink *his* beer too.  And where better to have those beers than a bowling alley?

Personally I believe there’s a very good probability of ending up on a bowling league team with the President of the United States, so I want to elect someone who will help me win against the opposing team of a Regular Joe from Iraq and his team of Osama bin Laden, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and Nicolas Sarkozy.

And, of course, what we are all looking for in a president, above all else, is their bowling acumen…
