Holy crap! Talk about one that Barack Obama wishes he had back. The January issue of Golf Digest magazine features Tiger "I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart" Woods hovering sagely over Barack Obama with the title "10 Tips Obama Can Take From Tiger".
I’m not kidding.
When Keith Olbermann is playing your insane phone messages to one of your mistresses, you known you have a PR problem.
In a way, you have to feel sorry for Tiger. With so many athletes and politicians wives these days playing the dutiful sucker and sticking by their adulterers, there’s no way Tiger was expecting his wife to go postal on him. I mean, geeze, he only cheated. Hell, Kobe Bryant's wife sat there stroking his arm fercrissakes as he humiliated her in his press conference. Problem is, Elin isn’t an American – willing to sit there mute and not rock the boat. She actually had a normal reaction to being betrayed and humiliated. Imagine that.
But Tiger made a bad situation worse by issuing astonishingly ham-handed pronouncements from atop Mt Olympus and thinking this world of 24/7 blog frenzy would just swallow it. Then again, if Tiger thought he could leave a message on a mistress's voicemail WITH HIS NAME telling her to change her outgoing announcement because his wife "went through my phone" and may be calling her, this guy may be way more stupid than we all thought.
