Brian Kilmeade Plays Golf With George W. Bush For Patriot Golf Day

video
» 32 comments

It’s official; Brian Kilmeade is the luckiest of Fox’s Friends. While Gretchen Carlson was stuck in the studio talking about news and stuff, Kilmeade got to go to Waco, Texas and play golf with none other than Former President George W. Bush on behalf of Patriot Golf Day. Since most of us will never get to hit a few with a president, feel free to pay Kilmeade back by critiquing his swing in the comments.

Kilmeade won’t get to play a full round with Bush (the former president will be playing with a number of notable veterans including Purple Heart winner (and Paralympics athlete) Heath Calhoun but he did get to help Bush open the event with a tee off and, we’re going to guess, this is probably going to go up there as one of his favorite broadcasting experiences. It’ll at least be on par (ugh, no pun intended) with hanging out with Victoria’s Secret models. Hmm, chatting with lingerie models and playing golf with a president. We may criticize the Fox & Friends gang from time to time but they’ve got a pretty cool job.

Patriot Golf Day is a fundraiser organized by the Folds of Honor Foundation, a charitable organization “that provides postsecondary educational scholarships for the children and spouses of military men and women disabled or killed while serving our great nation.” As if anyone needed an excuse to go play golf on Labor Day weekend. You can learn more about the event here.

    I bet golfing with W is a blast. That sounds like a good charitable organization, too.

  • More Liberty

    “Folds of Honor Foundation” is a great charity. I hope that they can rack up some good donations for those warriors.

    LOL…on a side note, Mediaite’$ distain certainly showed. This site is becoming more and more like Media Matters everyday.

    What’s so disdainful about this post?

  • Patrick Henry

    I thought it was a fair and good natured article.

    Kilmeade is kind of a doofus though.

  • TexGEOas

    Kudos to Brian Kilmeade… looks like he an Pres W share a great sense of humor. Brian worked four days on his swing… having never played a game of golf before today. good job.

  • Jon Bershad

    More Liberty, nothing mean intended. I was being completely honest when I said that playing golf with a president and chatting with Victoria’s Secret models makes for a great job. Who wouldn’t want to do either of those things?

    Everything else was just a little ribbing before a holiday weekend. It does seem like a great way to help out what seems to be a really good cause.

  • RazorsEdge

    Jon, thanks for taking time to post on this subject/segment.

    Paul, I could list a bunch of things I don’t like about Kilmeade. But this was for a charity if you don’t like it, would it not be better then to just leave it alone?

    Don’t like what? I said it was for a good cause and playing golf with W would be a good time.

    Kilmeade might need surgery to have his lips removed from bush’s butt

    fair and balanced, LOL what a joke

    the type of charity kilmeade can give is to enlist in the military and fight the wars he loves so much

    Typical republican trash. One is a scumbag and the other is a douchebag.

    One killed 4,000+ american soldiers and the other one supported it and helped cover up the lies.

    So using your train of thought, that would make Presidents Wilson, Roosevelt, Truman & Johnson all murderers as well, eh?

  • JimBob

    Kilmeade doesn’t take himself too seriously. Good guy! Great sense
    of humor! Great cause!

    Good guy!

    You two hang on weekends?

  • JimBob

    No! I watch Fox and Friends. I don’t have a strong enough stomach
    for Morning Joe and that crowd. Kilmeade is self deprecating, appears to have a sense
    of humor. Does not seem to take himself too seriously. But the Patriot Golf Day is a
    great cause! Happy W participating ! No insults needed here. I would have probably said good things about
    President Obama. Happy Labor Day !

    “Kind of”?

    Actually, I do think he seems like a reasonably good guy. Can’t say that about Il Douchey.

    Breitbart, O Breitbart,
    Where is it thou art?
    Marceaux is lying,
    Beckerhead’s trying,
    But your non-presence
    Is lying’s absence.

    Typical response from an ignorant teabagger. Bush lied and then invaded a country that did not threaten our national interest, killing (or liberated, as the right-wing sophists like to say) thousands of upon thousands of innocent men, women and children, including our own sevicemen and women. That is murder, pure and simple.

    Better than the cocaine snorter we have now.

    Brian Kilmeade is such an affable, sweet guy, no wonder the Prez chose him out of anyone in the country! This is quite an honor and I am sure Brian will remember his day of golf with the President of the United States (retired) for the rest of his life. President George W. Bush is much more popular than Captain Clueless in the White House with his Marxist Czar’s and Czarina’s. WTG, Brian! We are proud of you!

  • timcajun

    Good cause. Thanks to our service forces. There is one difference between, Wilson, Rosevelt, Truman and Johnson from Bush. Bush caused and started a war, the others came in years later, after each started. Tea Baggers wake up, try a liitle truth!

    Not Americans who lost their loved ones from a useless war, created useless tax cuts, and made us hated arouund the world!
