Hillary Clinton plays April Fools joke (updated with video)

I had hoped to start this post off with a bowling pun but Hillary Clinton used them all up. Oh wait. No. Just thought of one...(clears throat)

Riffing on the current 7-10 split in the Democratic Party, Hillary Clinton challenged Barack Obama to a bowl-off today.

Clinton issued the challenge a day after Obama's sad attempt at the sport (he bowled a 37 in seven frames).

From her pun-laden press conference:

"A bowling night. Right here in Pennsylvania. The winner take all. I'll even spot him two frames."

"It is time for his campaign to get out of the gutter and allow all the pins to be counted. I'm prepared to play this game all the way to the tenth frame. When this game is over, the American people will know that when that phone rings at 3 a.m., they'll have a president ready to bowl on day one."

"Let's strike a deal and go bowling for delegates. We don't have a moment to spare, because it's already April Fool's Day. Happy April Fool's Day."

UPDATE: Here's the video:

Not the first time he's looked foolish. Have you seen the photo of him holding a phone upside down in a photo-op? Inept I would say.

Who says a presidential candidate needs to be able bowl a perfect game or bowl at all. That is not how he plans to run the country...in bowling shoes

Gotta tell ya, if Obama is the nominee, I'll either be voting for McCain (gag me) or not voting at all (and that hurts).
I am so tired of the Obama supporters tactics of ridicule and childish behavior toward Clinton that I just cannot bring myself to vote for someone who represents or attracts people who act like that.

To all of those that think Barack looks foolish or even not the right man for the job. WHAT GOD HAS IN STORE FOR BARACK CANT BE STOPPED! So all of you can just let the race take place.

Hey democrats,
Lets keep our eyes on the prize and stop with this infighting. So many of us are saying that if so-in-so does not win, I will vote for (ugh) McBush. Remember the war that McBush wants to continue for only God knows how much longer and a sagging economy that McBush aims to continue Bush's tax cuts and other failed economic policies plus the continuation of other Bush policies that will affect us for years to come? Do you want four more years to remind you of the last seven? Obama or Hillary: Both platforms are very similar and we all need to support either the one that is the final nominee. Think about it.
