Special Olympics Bowler Challenges Obama

Expect to see a bowl off.
Kolan McConiughey, a mentally disabled man considered one of the nation's top Special Olympics bowlers with five perfect games to his credit, says 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.

His challenge to Obama followed the president's offhand remark on Jay Leno's Tonight Show Thursday comparing his famously inept bowling to "the Special Olympics or something." Recognizing his blunder, Obama apologized to the chairman of the Special Olympics before the show aired. USA Today
