Pastor gently mocks Bush's struggle on the golf course to drive home point

[DustMolecule]

KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine - A clergyman implored his affluent congregation, including President Bush (news - web sites)'s family, to jettison their material possessions, gently mocking George H.W. Bush's struggles on the golf course to drive home his point.

Agnew, a guest minister from Louisiana whose summer assignment ended Sunday, swung a golf club to get his message across to the vacationing congregation.

The sermon culminated with a joke about the first President Bush's battle to chip a golf ball out of an anthill. Swinging the club in a mock re-enactment, Agnew said Bush had swung twice and whiffed completely, wiping out hundreds of ants.

The ants got together and agreed: "If we're going to live, we better get on the ball!"
