HEADLINE: Local craftsmen send cornhole set to Bush

[Bluebear]

I just report them, folks.

Brian Finch with Doug and Barbara Curtis are spreading a joy that can only be found in Cincinnati: A warm summer day, a group of friends, and your very own game of cornhole.

And they're spreading it to the president.

These Clermont County craftspeople made a cornhole set for President George W. Bush, complete with an acrylic presidential seal and an engraved "W." With the help of 700 WLW's Jim Scott and ABC Whitehouse correspondent Ann Compton, the set will be sent him just in time for summer.

The project began last year when Compton was on Scott's morning news show talking about an upcoming "R&R" weekend for the president. Compton mentioned the president often played horseshoes on such weekends, to which Scott replied, "Oh Ann, horseshoes are dangerous. You should be playing cornhole."...

P.S. Why is a White House reporter playing games with the person she is assigned to cover impartially?

I am only familiar with the anal-sex meaning of the term. And not from personal experience, either.

5. It's a SERIES game, folks. Ohio, Indiana, KY , anyway.

Can be used either by the Sunday School set or with a lot of beer.

I still can't tell if the older definition of cornhole wasn't used here, or if there is marvelous Freudian meaning involved!

Seems about right for The Current Occupant.
