Look what your favorite ex-president put up on his Facebook page today, ladies! According to tradition, when the George W. Bush 9/11 boner sees its shadow, that means six more weeks of 9/11.

Is that your putt(z) or are you just happy to see me?

Just plain damn cute.

PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. — Sasha Obama is proving that the president isn’t the only golfer in the family.

On a family trip to a miniature golf course, 9-year-old Sasha hit a hole-in-one in front of the watchful eye of the media, and much to the delight of her father, an avid golfer. The president gave Sasha a high-five, and declared her stroke, “unbelievable.”

The president followed up by making par with his two shots on the first hole.

Yeah, sounds like he had a ton of fun. Actually, it sounds a wee bit more like penitence to me.

Pertinent part starts about 1:15, but if you can take the shaky camera it’s worth watching the whole thing for how giddy everyone is to meet him. Too cute.

Love ‘em and leave ‘em:

Meanwhile, former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer acknowledged in an e-mail to the AP that he had been working for Woods and had decided to withdraw.

The AP gives no reason for Fleischer’s departure, but FoxSports reports that Fleischer “fell on his sword because he felt he was becoming the story“: “[...] Having him in behind the curtain gave the impression Woods had something to hide, and that words were being fed to him.”

Pfft, why would Woods have anything to hide?

Ari-vederci, Tiger.

This is who Tiger Woods hires to get us to accept him again? With smarmy representatives like this, who needs enemies?

If this is how Tiger intends to rebuild his image, why not just hire Karl Rove? Or Mark Sanford? Or Tickle Me Massa?

How to cement Worst Judgment in the World status:

Two sources in the golf community have told The Post that Ari Fleischer, the former presidential advisor to George W. Bush and the man who was brought in to help repair the steroid-shattered image of Mark McGwire, has been huddling with Woods, plotting a strategy for his return to golf — at the Arnold Palmer Invitational starting March 25 at Bay Hill in Orlando.

That did it. I can’t even look at the guy now…

… as if I could before.

Previously I posted about Scott Brown’s refusal to give help to 9/11 workers:

One month after the September 11th attacks, Scott Brown was one of only three Massachusetts State Representatives to vote against a bill to provide financial assistance to Red Cross workers who had volunteered with 9/11 recovery efforts, we’ve learned.

Now he’s justifying denying aid to Red Cross workers. On September 11, 2001.

During the same month Brown was voting down efforts to support 9/11 rescue workers, he was pushing a bill to appropriate a tax-subsidized bond to build a golf course in Norfolk, a city in his district. “Priorities,” indeed.

Also during the same period, he was busy fighting for tax subsidies for corporate interests.

Golf. Tax breaks. 9/11.
