Sorry he got caught

Sat., March 6, 2010

The Spokesman-Review

Tiger Woods joined the ranks of the rakes such as the governors of New Jersey, New York and South Carolina who hypocritically faced the media cameras with mea culpas for their various infidelities. No one showed less remorse than the wooden speech of Tiger Woods. In no analysis of these men’s appearances before the media, has anyone spoken the obvious. Their sorry, sorry, sorry means in truth only “I’m sorry I got caught.” Shame on those women who stood by their sides as they delivered their attempts at damage control.
