This is ridiculous

Okay, I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm so tired of Tiger Woods and his escapades, I could just sh..., well, you know what I could do.  I swore I wasn't going to write about it.  The media is doing it's best to run this story into the ground, I thought, and I'll be damned if I'm going to contribute.  But, after what I heard this morning, I just can't stand it.  I have to say something about this whole sordid mess.

This morning on the way to work, I heard an interview with Gloria Allred.  Ms Allred is the attorney for Veronica Siwik-Daniels, better known as porn star Joslyn James.  According to Ms Allred, the main thing James wants is an apology.  Because Tiger lied to her.  You see, he told she was the only woman, other than his wife, that he was doing the deed with.  Do you see where this is going?  She's mad because her boyfriend lied to her about how many women he was cheating on his wife with.  I'm going to let that sink in for a minute.  She's mad because he lied about how many women he cheated on his wife with.  Do you get this???  She's mad because a dishonest, cheating S.O.B. LIED about how many women he was doing!  Look, if he was cheating on his wife, what the hell makes you so special that he wouldn't lie to you too?  That's the dumbest thing I've heard in long time.  And, I hear a lot of dumb things.  Almost as dumb as the idea that she doesn't want any money and they have no plans of filing a lawsuit.  Oh really?  Then, why did you hire a lawyer?  Because you want a new friend?  Believe me, you could do better hiring a hooker for that.  And, save some money.

So far, fifteen women have come forward to say that they had an affair with Woods.  FIFTEEN!!!  When the hell did he have time to play golf?  I'm telling you, juggling two women takes a lot of time and effort.  But, fifteen women?  Of course, I know he wasn't juggling all fifteen at the same time, but still.  This dude hustled fifteen different women over five years.  All while maintaining a career as the best golfer in the world.  That's a pretty high profile position.  Which Tiger used it to maximum effect.  His caddy and fellow golfers are all claiming to be in the dark about his peccadilloes.  I doubt that.  Truth be told, more than a few of them are doing the same thing as Tiger, just not on the same scale.   Believe me on this one; being a guy, I know guys. And in any group of men with access to lots of indiscriminate sex, there are going to be some takers.  Not all, not even most.  But, some will and some of those who do will be married.  So, all those holier than thou fakers on the PGA who are piously saying that they had no idea that Tiger was doing what it turned out he was doing are full of crap.  Just step up and say you knew what was going on, but couldn't speak out because the Guy Code prohibits such actions.  It's bullshit, but it's more honest than the bullshit they're spouting now. 

Finally, there's Tiger's "apology" and his stint in rehab.  I'm so effing tired of celebrities who get busted for something socially unacceptable making a tearful public apology that alludes to some addiction, then going to a luxury rehab program and thinking that fixes everything.  It doesn't.  What it does is trivialize actual addictions and the people who suffer from them.  It would be a real breath of fresh air if, just once, one of these priveledged, pampered children would step up to the microphone and just say "I screwed up.  I don't have any excuses for what I did.  It was wrong, it was irresponsible and it was all my fault."  But, you'll need snowshoes at the equator before that happens.
