A2: Bowling

The national media is all over the story that Kolan McConiughey, a familiar face to shoppers at Busch’s grocery on South Main, is defending the Special Olympics, which President Obama dissed in an appearance on Jay Leno’s “Tonight Show.” Here’s an excerpt from the Associated Press report: ”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.” [Source]
