Who gives a shit about Tiger Woods, really? The stiff , robotic and agonizingly long apology was unnecessary and none of our business. The only person who should have gotten the apology was his wife. His mistresses don't deserve an apology, either. Everybody on the planet knew he was married. If you have an affair with someone who is married, you give up any right to indignation when your married lover turns out to be a liar and maker of false promises. Your lover is breaking a sacred trust to his or her spouse already. Why would you expect them to suddenly be honest and true to their word where your relationship is concerned?

I hate to be so cynical, but it seems that Tiger was apologizing to to his sponsors. "Please continue paying me obscene amounts of money to wear and advertise your products.....I'm really a nice family man.....I AM!!!" We forgave Bill Clinton because our economy was strong and things were reletively peaceful on his watch. Charlie Sheen's knife fight with his wife was barely a blip on the radar. Why do we care that Woods cheated on his wife? Why are we still hanging on Tiger's every word, studying his facial expressions and wasting 14 minutes of precious time to hear him say "I'm sorry"? What difference does is make in the world if he whored around with lot's of women and now he is sorry that he got caught?

Elin Woods had the final say and definitive answer to the hysterical curiosity over the whole scandal......She didn't even show up. She spoke volumes by not showing her face or commenting. What I got from that was, it's over. What he did was unforgivable and you can call it sex addiction, entitlement, "everybody makes mistakes", "I'm only human" or what ever catch phrase you care to use in the attempt to smooth over this clusterfuck. The bottom line is, Elin Woods showed a lot of class by not sitting there like an idiot while her husband retold, thereby forcing her to relive, her humiliation like some simpering, defeated, politician's wife. It was nice not to listen to his apology and feel the twinge of sympathy for him, because isn't he brave, humble and moral to admit publicly that he made a "mistake"?

NO. A mistake is when you tell your friends to meet you at the movies at 8 o'clock but the movie doesn't start until 8:50. A mistake is forgetting one of your grocery bags at the checkout counter. Being human is losing your car keyes or forgetting your homework. Being human does not excuse you for doing the same mean, insensitive, dishonest, thing over and over and over again. People who cheat on their spouses know that what they are doing is wrong. They choose to do it anyway and deal with the consequences later. People who do it on a regular basis have no clue what marriage and commitment are and don't truly love anyone but themselves. If in the end, your spouse leaves you because he or she can never look you in the eye again without feeling bitter doubt, then that is your consequence. Live with it. Some things are so deliberate and hurtful that "I'm sorry" just doesn't fix it.
