Near the end of an interview after he'd hit his tee shot on the 15th hole at Pebble Beach on Thursday-- during the first round of the AT&T National Pro Am--Tommy Smothers dissed GW Bush.

Asked about missing the cut so often, and his chances of making the cut this year, Smothers said he believed he'll get the chance to play on Sunday. "Right now we're eight under par," he said.

The interviewer promptly noted that that's not what the scoreboard said.

"Then ask me why I lied," said Smothers.

"OK, why did you lie?" asked the interviewer.

"National Policy," replied Smothers, walking away and smiling to the camera.
