Cringeworthy moment Fox News host Bret Baier asks Dalai Lama if he's seen Caddyshack
Daily Mail ^ | 6/17/16

Posted on 06/17/2016 12:22:38 PM PDT by Wilderness Conservative

The Dalai Lama was forced to answer some difficult questions during his trip to the US - about everything from terrorism in the wake of the Orlando nightclub shooting to the vocal criticism of President Obama by the Chinese after he hosted the Tibetan spiritual leader in the White House.

But none of those questions gave his holiness as much trouble as Fox News host Bret Baier asking him during an interview on Wednesday if he had ever seen the film Caddyshack.

Baier and his guest had been having a discussion about terrorism and the Muslim faith when the political anchor decided to lighten the mood by asking: 'Last thing, have you ever seen the movie Caddyshack?'

Visibly confused, the Dalai Lama responded to this by saying: 'What?' Baier tried again, saying: 'Caddyshack the movie.'

The Dalai Lama seemed to give up at that point and said: 'I don’t know.'

A persistent Baier tried one final time though, saying: 'The part about the Dalai Lama.'

Things only got more awkward from there when Baier decided to ask a few more follow-up questions about sports and a film that the spiritual leader has never seen in his life.

'Have you ever played golf?' asked Baier. 'No,' said the Dalai Lama.

'You’re not a big hitter?' asked Baier, in his fourth reference to Caddyshack.

'In badminton,' said the Dalai Lama, who then began to swing an invisible racket above his head.

'But not golf?' asked Baier, again.

'No,' said the Dalai Lama, again.

Good one. Maybe these Bret can use, too:

The Dalai Lama is nothing more than a two bit hustler with a good press agent.

Well the Chinese communists agree, so you've got that going for you. And since you're turning profound, peaceful religious traditions into bumper stickers, wanna tell me more about that dead guy hanging from a stick who's blood you drink and flesh you eat?

Give it up, Brett. Posting the vid won’t help at this point.

But at least on your deathbed you’ll have total consciousness. So there is that.

I’m glad he asked about the Dalai Lama. The flowing robes, the grace...

I can see that position, but after decades of review(and increased levels of maturity?), Ginger makes a strong case.

Oh wait, never mind, why didn't that booboo Bear guy ask the Dali about this critical issue?
