Clinton's April Fools joke

PHILADELPHIA - Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton walked somberly into a press conference Tuesday and stood before microphones. Reporters tensed, sensing something big might be afoot.

"This has been a very hard fought race," she said. "We clearly need to do something so that our party and our people can make the right decision. So, I have a proposal."

The tension grew. Reporters shifted in their seats. Was she dropping out of the race? Offering to join rival Barack Obama as his running mate?

April Fools!

"Today, I am challenging Senator Obama to a bowl-off," Clinton said, provoking relieved laughs from the assembled scribes.

Clinton carried on, making reference to Obama's disastrous outing at a Pennsylvania bowling alley Saturday.

"A bowling night. Right here in Pennsylvania. The winner take all," she went on. "I'll even spot him two frames."

"It is time for his campaign to get out of the gutter and allow all the pins to be counted. I'm prepared to play this game all the way to the tenth frame. When this game is over, the American people will know that when that phone rings at 3 a.m., they'll have a president ready to bowl on day one."

"Let's strike a deal and go bowling for delegates. We don't have a moment to spare, because it's already April Fool's Day. Happy April Fool's Day."

I had to read the article, just to be sure this wasn't a joke! My son bowled better than a 37 last year for his birthday... he just reached the ripe old age of 3. I hope Obamas economic policy would be better than his bowling... but then again, it wouldn't take a whole heck of a lot to top THAT bowling score. What does that say about his ideas for the economy? :wtf:

Barack Obama scored an embarrassing 37 out of 300 at a Pennsylvania bowling alley last weekend. He may want to take a few pointers from Gabriella Lamas.

She racked up a 47 - and she's only 10 years old.

"I get up close and aim for the middle arrow and then throw it as hard as I can," said the fourth-grader from West New York, N.J., who studies at Columbia Grammar School in Manhattan.

"It's pretty easy," she crowed as she and her 48-year-old stay-at-home mom, Hilda Lamas, bowled at 300 New York at Chelsea Piers in Manhattan yesterday.

Like Obama, Gabriella got a few gutter balls, but she kept trying and eventually bested the 46-year-old presidential hopeful by 10 points.

Her biggest tip for Obama to improve his score the next time he heads to the lanes: "You have to look at the pins when you throw it."

Gabriella said she didn't see news coverage of Obama bowling but guessed that he probably "looked kind of funny."

:D that bad, hu? yikes. i feel your pain, she was staying in my hotel last summer in VA, we were checking out as she was checking in, otherwise i would have actually really loved to have seen her or Bill at the bar or something and maybe get a chance to bs with them, but we had to go.

i was lucky during this Dem primary season, i guess. the combination of being an early state and not having local media on my dish, i missed all the 'who you gonna call at 3:00 a.m.' bs. hang on, Rebgirl, it will all be over soon, or maybe not . . . i think it will all come down to Guam. so sorry for the bad news, Guam, but welcome to the show! :rasta:
