ANN ARBOR, Mich. – So President Barack Obama thinks he bowls like a competitor in the Special Olympics?

He's obviously never met Kolan McConiughey, a mentally disabled man considered one of the nation's top Special Olympics bowlers, with five perfect games to his credit. He'd like to go to the White House and show the president a thing or two about how to roll strikes.

"He bowled a 129. I bowl a 300. I could beat that score easily," McConiughey said Friday....

In addition to five perfect games since 2005, McConiughey has also had an 800 series and carries a 212 average. He laughed as he joked about the popular president's apparently poor game.




My own lifetime high: 182. Not nearly good enough.

1. in other breaking news
president obama said he wanted to "party like a rock star" and held up a double shot of jagermeister before downing it in one gulp.

outraged members of aerosmith responded "we are real rock stars. we drink wheat grass juice and eat bran muffins. THAT is how you party like a rockstar!"

3. Well at least he's a lefty
Obama would benefit more by learning from a lefty. Although I think it would be cooler than shit to be his bowling coach.

personal best: 275 (10 in a row) 702 series
