And the number 1 reason to hate Phil Mickelson and the Masters

"I had a great time with one of the new members on Sunday," Mickelson said, "and (she) happens to be one of my favorite people to spend time with: fascinating, intelligent and I just think the world of former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice."

Personally, I believe she belongs in jail

some for ill-gotten gain.

Condoleeza Rice chose her own path, in order to inflict misery and pain upon millions.

Her decisions are neither respectable nor commendable.

However, to decry her intelligence as being less than remarkable is borderline mysogonist.

Condoleeza Rice is a remarkably educated woman who chose the wrong path in life.

Additionally as pointed out above, placing blame by association is incredibly ignorant; which in an of itself is irony based on your OP.

I'm sure I'll catch more than enough backlash for this comment, however I'm confident im both my opinion and my horrible disgust for Condoleeza Rice.

We disagree on it, but now I have to call him up and tell him I'm supposed to hate him.

Hate is poisonous and self-destructive.

I find it disturbing to see people looking for reasons to hate. Threads like this make us look bad.

Condi Rice probably is fascinating and intelligent, and also, that Phil Mickelson is kissing her ass?

I mean, there are a million negative things we can say about Condi Rice and her evil deeds, but she is intelligent and perhaps also fascinating to talk to.

is that you would be hard pressed to find many pro golfers who are not greedy, RW ___holes. Then they form their little charity donation organizations to make them look good. But hire relatives to run them and give out money to wrong thinking organizations. They mostly belong to the "I got mine and FU club".
Not to say there are not some that may be OK, but most come from privileged homes with an entitled attitude. Florida is a haven for pro golfers, not because of the courses but because of the taxes.

I agree that she and all the Bush War Gang should be breaking rocks in a chain gang.

piss on the decision to offer Condasleezy membership and may Phil retire 'cause he's pist the wealthy were finally asked to pay a little more taxes: piss on Phil and all those of his greedy, selfish, privileged ilk who don't feel they should pay a fair share of taxes.

I never said Condi wasn't smart. I said she belonged in prison. Secondly, Phil's nickname on the tour is FIGJAM- Fuck I'm great just ask me. He is known as a jerk among his fellow golfers.
The Masters is the biggest asshole tournament of the 4 majors. It is everything I don't like about elitism. I play golf every week at a PUBLIC course. I used to belong to a country club and it was filled with assholes.
You have to be"invited". The U.S. open is open to everyone. Any of us could play if we qualified.

Lee Trevino never went into the clubhouse. He changed his shoes in the parking lot. He also knew if they had their druthers he would be doing landscaping.
