I've Heard Enough About Tiger Woods

Tiger Woods came on television to "apologize" to everyone, and now has gone back to rehab for his "sex addiction".

For two days straight the news shows, opinion shows and blogs have been packed with speculation about what Tiger would say and how he would say it; and after the speech a careful analysis of what he did or didn't say.

I've had enough. The man's a great golfer, a great golfer and a lousy husband. To use the vernacular of the South where I grew up, he is a whore-hopper, plain and simple.

Tiger Woods is not an elected official, nor an appointee to a high office. He is no more than a talented golfer who is rich and cheats on his wife. Why then does he deserve this around the clock, network to network coverage? Is there nothing more important to spare some coverage for?

Surely there are some other, albeit minor, topics of interest. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan for instance. Perhaps the renewed push for the dreaded healthcare bill to be shoved down our throats. How about all the corruption running rampant throughout our government?

Nope, all that has been important lately is a cheating husband, trying to redeem his career and marriage after getting caught. Well, enough already. I've heard enough about Tiger Woods to last a lifetime.
