Why Tiger Missed An Opportunity
From the beginning of this story, Tiger Woods has either been badly advised, or has not taken the advice. And so it was on his first public appearance.
The golfer’s 13 minute apology and statement was decent and thorough, but hardly as geniune as it could be. Why? Not because of the words. They were well-written and covered almost every aspect of his many regrets. But they were written. They were written, and he read them. That, in my view, was a mistake.
Tiger Woods should have allowed a free-for-all of questions after his statement was finished. It’s much easier to be more of yourself, more genuine, when you answer a question, than reading from a piece of paper. Besides, why duck the media when you’ve already addressed most of the issues?
Spontaneity allows individuals to be themselves. Reading from a prepared script is okay. But answering questions: that’s the REAL thing to do.
DOES ANY ONE CARE ABOUT THIS STORY?
This story is two-days old. But the silence from world governments is scary.
The head of the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog agency says Iran may be working secretly to develop a nuclear warhead for a missile.
There is no official response from the free world.
Are we asleep?

From where I’m sitting Tiger didn’t miss many opportunities when it came to jumping the bones of his various bimbettes. As usual Tiger was not to be outdone in his quest for scoring low. The only person involved in this story who may go lower than Tiger is Gloria Allred. That sleeze bag parades Tiger’s whores around as if they were the ones cheated on and not Tiger’s wife.
Wow, Larry is in the zone,in the old days he would have left white house story up for a week, and who would blame him, it was best thing he’s done since 1970s.
Not much to dissagree with today either. Tiger was was too robotic, and since everthing is out there whats he afraid of? If a reporter asked an over the line sexual question he would gain sympathy by castigating him for going too far. Friedly press would be in abundane anyway because most men no feel some level of sorrow toward him. Tiger was selfish indeed, but he did not turn his back on a cancer stricken wife, lie to her when he supposedly came clean then surprise her with a baby the way Edwards did. Tiger is more in the league of Bill Clinton, and even less so because he is just a sports guy, not someone with access to nuclear bombs. Time to let the Tiger story fade and forgive him, as Elin said its his actions that will earn forgiveness. John Edwards actions deserve that he never be forgiven and be treated as a leper for the rest of his life. Nothing Edwards can ever do should allow the American people to accept him back into public life.
Iran is brewing but Israel’s actions in Dubai make it very hard for the U.S. to be too aggressive with them. They actually have moral high ground and right to pursue nuclear weapons when a hostile country in their backyard is assinating Arabs without trials. And some think military tribuals are not fair, I bet the Arab that was smothered wished he had a chance at military court in U.S.
Good morning Ed, we are really right on schedule today, Larry is going to think we’re in bed together reading his blog on Saturday morning, drinking starbucks and planning our day of shopping and lunch at the Reading Terminal.
FREE AIR! TIGER WILL LEAD THE WAY! HE IS THE ENTITLED ONE!
PLEASE FORGIVE HIS “WIDE STANCE” AND “FOLLOW THROUGH.” HE CAN HIT A LITTLE WHITE BALL WITH A CROOKED STICK. GIVE HIM ALL THE FREE AIR HE CAN HANDLE!
Al Haig, dead at 85! Who’s in charge now??? Poor guy, never lived that down, one mistake 29 years ago and that’s all we talk about at his death. He seemed like a dick though, Reagan didn’t like him much nor did Baker, so he’s probably a major league four star dick who should have stayed in the military and would be remebered for a distinquished career rather than trying to take charge of government, when in fact he was fourth in line, and not even close to being in charge as secretary of state.
It should not be surprising that there is not much “world government” reaction to Iran’s actions/intentions. These looney tunes just keep on singing the same old song. Trust me that the right people are in the right places to do something about this when (not if) it really comes to fruition! After all, isn’t a lot of this rhetoric coming from a president (Iran’s) who, during a “Press Conference” at Columbia University, in response to a query concerning treatment of homosexuals in Iran stated unequivocally that there were no homosexuals in Iran (in Iran, we do not have that problem)? God bless America!
