yo, barry, you talked the trash, now back it up, and bowl

March 22, 200

barry compared his pathetic able-bodied, able-minded bowling skills to the Special Olympics - assuming Special Olympians automatically must suck because they are intellectually challenged. See link below to watch him say it laugh about it.

Not only is barry ignorant - he’s ignorant. Bowling is a popular sport among Special Olympians and is ranked in the top 5. And at the top of the heap is 35 y/o Kolan McConiughey from Ann Arbor Michigan who has bowled 5 perfect games (just since 2005), three in competition, has had an 800 series and who carries a whopping 212 average. That’s some skill - for any body, any mind or combination thereof.

From AP’S COREY WILLIAMS:

With an IQ less than half of the 100 considered average, [Kolan] McConiughey lives with his foster mother and has held the same job at a grocery store for 16 years. He greets customers, sweeps floors and maintains the store’s break room.

His foster mom, Jan Pardy:

He can’t read much, can’t do math, can’t do bill-paying. Kolan faces all these challenges, but he has an area of genius, and his genius is bowling.

What does Kolan think about barry?

He bowled a 129. I bowl a 300. I could beat that score easily.

Gotta love it. His advice:

I’d tell him to get a new bowling ball, new shoes and bring him down to the lane. Keep his body straight, his arm straight and keep his steps straight. He has to practice every single day.

And what does President of the Special Olympics in Michigan, Lois Arnold, think?

It would be an honor for him [Kolan] to bowl with the president of the United States.

Yes. It would. And it has to happen. In the White House bowling alley with the cameras blazing - Live. He has time for the NCAA brackets - he has time to promote the Special Olympics and get spanked doing so.
