CBS Sports golf analyst David Feherty apologized to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid after an article he wrote appeared in a Dallas magazine.Feherty wrote a column for D Magazine about former President George W. Bush moving to Dallas. Toward the end of the piece Feherty wrote:
“From my own experience visiting the troops in the Middle East, I can tell you this though.” “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.” Feherty 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. “This passage was a metaphor meant to describe how American troops felt about our 43rd president,” Feherty said in a statement. “In retrospect, it was inappropriate and unacceptable, and has clearly insulted Speaker Pelosi and Senator Reid, and for that, I apologize.

Congressman Presses For Military Gay Ban Data
“At a time when our military's readiness is strained to the breaking point from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the armed forces continue to discharge vital service members under the outdated, outmoded 'don't ask, don't tell' policy,” the Virginia Democrat said. “Our allies have overcome this issue, facing no adverse consequences from lifting bans focused on soldiers' sexual orientation.”
