Joe Biden, the best Vice President this country has ever known (just ask him, he'll be happy to tell you so) played a round of golf at the exclusive private The Golf Club at Lake Las Vegas over this past weekend.
This club is a very exclusive private club. Biden's staff called the club at 7:00am this past Sunday, telling them that the Veep wanted to play the course that morning. The reply was that he couldn't, since he wasn't a member. Two more calls were then placed to the Club's manager. I don't know what was said during those calls, but suddenly Biden was on the course at 11:00am flailing away at little white balls. He was unable to complete his round before having to leave to participate in a political fund raiser for Rep. Dina Titus (D-NV).
Now, I really don't have a problem with this. What is repulsive is seeing the total lack of coverage of this by the mainstream media. If Vice President Cheney had done this, we'd be blasted with story after story about how he pushed around the locals, abused his power, played golf while ignoring XXX problem ( insert any problem you want), how the club is racist/discriminatory, how he shouldn't be wasting tax payer money on a fundraising trip, etc, etc, etc ...
