Poor Saxby Chambliss. It seems that this ultimate sleazeball is now having to defend himself from ever growing questions about his five deferments from serving in Vietnam and how that bum knee has healed so well that he has become the second best golfer in the United States Senate.
Oh yeah, and if you needed any more reason to become convinced that Tiger Woods is a right-winger, he LOVES playing golf with Senator Shameless from Georgia.
The most widely ridiculed yarn was that Chambliss' "bad knee" had kept him from serving.
"I was determined not to be physically fit," he explained during a debate in August 2002. "I had a bum knee. I had an old football knee that unfortunately they wouldn't take me."
Apparently, that bum knee has not deterred Chambliss from becoming a wonderful golfer. Even causing
the Senator to worry that his hobby was becoming a political liability:
...the notorious knee remains a symbol of the quibbles they have with the Senator: that the appearance he provides is removed from reality and that he has, at times, been an absentee Senator. Physical impairments aside, in October 2005, Golf Digest ranked Chambliss the #2 golfer in the Senate and the 33rd ranked golfer in Washington D.C. Sources close to Chambliss, in fact, once grew concerned that his reputation was suffering because of all the times he was spending on the links.
These sources didn't lack a legitimate reason. In a scathing column titled "Saxby Chambliss' Day Off," then-Roll Call reporter Mary Ann Akers wrote about how Chambliss once skipped work to play golf with Tiger Woods, while his colleagues held a closed door session in which they agreed to accelerate in inquiry into how the Bush administration handled intelligence about Iraq's weapons programs.

Now is the time to run hard and expose Saxby Chambliss for the fake phony fraud that he is! In Saxby Chambliss' world the only dishonor is in not fighting as sleazy as you can.
