PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — CBS Sports golf analyst David Feherty apologized Sunday to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid for a morbid joke that went bad in a Dallas magazine.<\/p>\n

Feherty, one of the most popular golf analysts for his sharp wit and self-deprecating humor, was among five Dallas residents who wrote for “D Magazine” on former President George W. Bush moving to Dallas.<\/p>\n

“From my own experience visiting the troops in the Middle East, I can tell you this though,” Feherty wrote toward the end of his column.<\/p>\n

“Despite how the conflict has been portrayed by our glorious media, if you gave any U.S. soldier a gun with two bullets in it, and he found himself in an elevator with Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Osama bin Laden, there’s a good chance that Nancy Pelosi would get shot twice, and Harry Reid and bin Laden would be strangled to death.”<\/p>\n

Feherty, a former Ryder Cup player who grew up in Northern Ireland, has gone to Iraq over Thanksgiving the past two years to visit with U.S. troops, and he created a foundation to help wounded soldiers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sure, Mr. Feherty’s joke was in bad taste but it was no worse than comedian Wanda Sykes jokes about September 11th and Rush Limbaugh at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner.<\/p>\n

For the record I’m not excusing David Feherty, it was a bad joke… I’m just curious when Ms. Sykes is going to apologize to Rush Limbaugh?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
