Because bowlers are so much awesomer athletes than basketball players

Media Matters - Matthews on Obama: "[T]his gets very ethnic, but the fact that he's good at basketball doesn't surprise anybody".

Is there a DC Insider Journalist bowling league where all these fat-faced, fat-assed old white gasbags get together on Tuesday nights to toss back the Buds and bowl in the 200s, with Scarborough and Matthews routinely battling it out to see which one of them's going to get the perfect game tonight and this is why these guys who look as though their last great athletic achievement was putting up the shelf for their grandkids' soccer trophies feel entitled to make fun of Barack Obama's bowling form?

Well, BO is a southpaw. They are usually not as good at bowling. Why so much discussion over an April Fool's joke?

Yeah, Joe is a real man! Ask him about his assistant that was found dead on the floor of his office in Florida back in 2001! But, of course, that's not important. Being a good bowler is much more telling of what kind of President you would make. At least, Obama has no skeleton in his closet regarding a dead 28 year old female!
