Do We Really Want a Bowler-in-Chief? Remember Nixon!

Elizabeth Edwards’ op-ed in The New York Times today aptly holds the title, “Bowling 1, Health Care 0,” as it criticizes the media obsession with Barack Obama’s bowling form and score during the past three weeks. My research shows that while cable news gasbags such as Joe Scarborough and Chris Matthews, and the entire Fox crew, were the worst offenders, the Times itself has carried dozens of references to “bowling-gate” in its news pages and blog entries. Scarborough, of course, said Americans wanted a real macho man in the White House, perhaps forgetting his unceasing attacks on Bill Clinton’s mannish behavior in office. Matthews suggested that Obama was “prissy.”
