Clinton refused, membership cheers:
No mulligans here
Disturbing news from Chappaqua, where first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton and her sometime house guest, the president, are settling into the new digs.
"Today, it's 70 degrees," an unnamed correspondent from Westchester County tells the Arkansas Democrat Gazette about the golfing weather and President Clinton's thwarted ambitions to join a suitable country club with a good golf course.
"There are two country clubs in town and I belong to one," says the correspondent. "I've heard through the grapevine that overtures have been made and rejected at both.
"Some of it is due to the fact that many members don't like him. More opposition is due to the near-unanimous feeling that it would be a severe disruption to the members, and who needs it?
"Also, there is the strong sense that he isn't going to be around much, or long, or both, so why should we bend over backwards, as it were? This will probably become more contentious as the grass starts to grow."
Fore, anyone?
