PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. -- CBS Sports golf analyst David Feherty came under sharp criticism Saturday for a joke he wrote in a Dallas magazine article that suggested American soldiers would be just as likely to knock off House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Leader Harry Reid as they would Osama bin Laden.
Feherty was among five Dallas residents who wrote for "D Magazine" on former President George W. Bush moving to Dallas, where the former Ryder Cup player from Northern Ireland has been living the last dozen years.
"From my own experience visiting the troops in the Middle East, I can tell you this though," Feherty wrote toward the end of his column. "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."

Re: CBS Sports analyst comes under fire for Soldier joke..
I just read the article on Fox News and laughed my ass off...
Oh well. I'm a bad person because I hate that bitch. I probably would have strangled her and then shot her.... told the other two they were free to go.

With the price of ammo these days, I would have just settled for choking them all out and saving my rounds for something more worthy.

Note that not one veteran's organization demanded a retraction. Just liberal idiots.
I agree with the man's sentiments. Except that I would strangle Pelosi, too. She does not merit a bullet.

Isn't an "Irish recovering alcoholic" an oxymoron?
