Randi Rhodes wrong about Bush golfing during Katrina

From 8/30 comes this Randi quote:

"The president went golfing at the El Mirage Golf Course yesterday while the people were literally suffering... The president decided that the best use of his time would be to go golfing."

Do I need to tell you that that was apparently false?

Well, just as the link you provide says, he was at the rv and golf resort to talk about Medicare. And I've searched the web and not found anything saying he played golf there. Everything I do find says he spoke about Medicare, just like your link says.

So WEre yoU CALling mE or the bOREAmerica authOr a DuMbass? ...

Ummm... she did make a correction on her radio show two days after the broadcast you mention.

Regardless... if you're somehow implying that the fact that Bush _didn't_ go golfing means he isn't an imbicile and he hasn't been extremely irresponsible in his dealings with the Katrina aftermath... You are a dumbass!
