Gen. Clark Urges Golf Ban for DeLay
The campaign against House Majority Leader Tom DeLay reached new heights of hysteria last week, with former Democratic presidential candidate Gen. Wesley Clark urging that the top Republican be banned from playing golf.
"I like golf," Clark told HBO's "Real Time" host Bill Maher. "And I'm sorry that Tom DeLay plays golf."

Then the one-time top military man went off the deep end.
"I think that people who are charged with ethics violations in Congress should be prohibited from playing golf," he told Maher.
Why?
"Because if you can't trust them in Congress, how can you trust their score on a golf course?" Clark explained.
Contrary to Clark's claim, DeLay hasn't been "charged" with anything, although he did travel to Scotland to play golf a few years back.
Democrats want the trip investigated.
