SBNation (Sports blog): Too-"busy"-to-golf Sarah Palin to Obama: Get off the links!

December 12 -- Let’s see if we have this straight. Because gadfly hunter, fisherwoman, reality-TV personality, backstage Mom, and Fox “News” talking head Sarah Palin is too “busy” to play golf -- since, you know, saving the world takes a lotta time (you betcha!) -- President Obama should hang up his clubs and forget about teeing it up as long as he’s in office?

Yup, that about sums up the never-ending, mind-numbing hypocrisy of Palin and her ilk when it comes to Obama and his annoying habit of playing golf while the country stumbles through an economic recession and Mama Grizzly’s off rescuing the country from Democrats. (Republicans were strangely silent about George W. Bush and his record-setting bushwhacking vacations back in the day. But why muddy the argument with facts?)

“If I felt that I was needed, I would run [for president] because the country is more important than my ease -- though I'm not necessarily living a life of ease,” Palin said in a recent Time magazine interview. “I'm very busy helping people and causes; so busy, in fact, I haven't had time to hit the links in quite a few years.”

Really? Is that your final answer, @SarahPalinUSA? If memory serves, Alaska’s former governor took a chunk of time out of her crowded calendar when she wasn’t advocating for the rich and powerful on everybody’s favorite “fair and balanced” network to cheer her daughter on during Bristol Palin’s recent “Dancing with the Stars” turn. Did she not also spend months in front of the camera for her faux “Survivor”-like “reality” program, for which TLC reportedly padded her checking account?

It’s not like Palin’s not making money hand over fist for her good works. In fact, why play golf for free when @GolfChannel must have an opening for a failed vice presidential candidate who’ll do just about anything for cash?

Coming soon to a Golf Channel near you: “The Hank Haney Project Sarah Palin.” Tiger Woods’ former coach teaches 2012 White House wannabe Sarah Palin the difference between a tea party and a tee party.

Oh, yeah -- can’t wait to hear what Bristol’s mom will have to say when 100-rounds-per-year John “Will Birdie for Bucks” Boehner takes over as Speaker of the House. The guess here: not much.

Wonder if the darling of the right wing knows Boehner putts from the left side?
