In Britain's News of the World - whose editors and readers have such an insatiable appetite for sex scandals that the tabloid is fondly called "Screws of the World" - an addictions manager at North London's Priory Clinic says declaratively of a beleaguered Tiger Woods, "I see him as ill, not bad." Here it comes. Amid all the sordid details of Tiger's numerous "transgressions," we should now prepare ourselves for a forthcoming announcement by a very somber-looking Woods spokesman, or perhaps even by the golfer himself, that Tiger is, in fact, a sex addict. We can stop questioning his character, for this - we're being told - is a medical issue. No less an authority than Drew Pinsky, the host of VH1's reality show "Sex Rehab," told "Entertainment Tonight" that "it's safe to say that sex addiction might be part of his problem." Pinsky and the rest of the world are trying to help us understand what otherwise seems inconceivable: how such a rich, powerful and focused man ("and with such a beautiful wife!" some add, suggesting that ugly wives require no explanation) could risk his reputation, his fortune and his family to play the field with floozies. We can't let them get away with it. If the psychologizers win, they will allow brain chemistry, instead of free will, to co-opt habitual infidelity, thus completely and utterly absolving Woods of everything. Including driving barefoot, no doubt. And thereby absolving the rest of us of our sins. Yes, I said it: sins. The facts here are pretty simple. Woods made repeated and calculated decisions to deceive and hurt his family. For that he should get no sympathy. Pawning off bad behavior on some nebulous psychosis makes public apologies and professed remorse merely perfunctory, not sincere. In fact, that sex addiction even has a name (and its own television show) speaks volumes about our culture - and our collective psyche. The affliction may be real, but it also keeps us from acknowledging the immorality of our actions. After all, we don't call serial killers "murder addicts." Yet, anyway. Buying into the notion gives us license to embrace a psychology gap that keeps us divorced from our own behavior. Discussing a clinical condition is easier than actual soul-searching. Who needs confession when you can just be absolved through therapy and rehab? Over the past decade or two, psychologizing of this sort has become big business, crowding out so many basic moral judgments. The intelligentsia has so successfully marginalized morality to the far corners of its collective attics (where it also keeps religion) that the manic and predictable rush to medically explain immoral behavior has built a permanent, Bill Clinton-style wall separating the things we do in our private lives from who we really are. We saw a similar justification after the Fort Hood massacre, when scores of mental health experts decided from afar that Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan wasn't a hardened terrorist - he was just really, really stressed out from absorbing everyone else's stories of posttraumatic stress. The Tiger drama is of course worlds apart, in every imaginable way. But the aftermath shares the same frantic search for a simple explanation that does an end run around free will. And as for Tiger's mental health, sex addiction may just be the tip of the iceberg. In Psychology Today, Stanton Peele writes (with a whiff of that inimitable shrink's humor) that Tiger's success and stamina on the golf course may have predicted his behavior in the bedroom: "Rather than being a sex addict, the same single-mindedness, skill set and gift for robotic calculation that make Tiger Woods the world's greatest golfer make him an avatar of the bedroom." Amazing: For both his strengths and weaknesses, psychology manages to surgically remove Tiger, a man whose power and wealth have bought him more free will than most of us will ever have, from his own life. It's hardly a comforting thought. But Peele leaves us with an intriguing question. If we can blame Tiger's troubles on his addictive behavior, why don't we blame his successes on a personality disorder, too? This man is a golf addict, to be sure - he's downright obsessed. But for that he earns our praise and respect. And tons of money. Forgive me for sounding old-fashioned. But the best prescription for a long, healthy life isn't pricey rehab, therapy and psychological reprogramming. It's a clear conscience. secupp@redsecupp.com

That is not completely or even close to true.
I believe he is going to be a less "proficient" golfer for some time in the near future.
I'm sure she'd be pleased at "your passing".
Meth.
Doing what's right isn't always easy but it's always right.
Here's another nice picture of her.
------- Meth I don't think that was his drug of choice. I think Tiger's "sex drug" is just adulation.
...... those were the good old days.
She's way too nice for this guy.
http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/34351690/ns/sports/ Elin reportedly wants to save marriage to Tiger 'She loves him and she is devastated over learning of his philandering' While more details surface about Tiger Woods's reported dalliances, the golf great's Swedish-born wife, Elin Nordegren, has yet to speak about the scandal or give any hint of her distress – beyond a frantic 911 call after her mother collapsed at Woods's Florida home Tuesday. But several sources close to the couple tell PEOPLE Nordegren, 29, was genuinely shocked by her husband's reported infidelities, and is now in deep discussions with him to see if their marriage can be saved. “She loves him and she is totally devastated over learning of his philandering,” one source close to Nordegren says. “She honestly did not know he was cheating on her.” The same source says Nordegren questioned Woods about rumors that he was having affairs, but believed his denials. "It is sort of sad that all of the golfers knew about Tiger’s cheating throughout his marriage while poor Elin believed his lies when he told her he was not seeing any other women when on the road for days at a time,” the source says. "Now that it has hit her over the head, she is going to make the best decision for her and the kids.” Story continues below ?advertisement | your ad here A smart, athletic student who passed up the chance to study child psychology in Sweden to become a nanny in the U.S., Nordegren tried hard not to lose herself in her husband's fame. But everything changed after Woods’s Nov. 27 car crash. Since then, says a source inside Woods’s camp, the couple have discussed the full breadth of Woods's infidelities. "She knows everything," says the source.
Eeenie Meenie Miney Mo Catch a Tiger With His Ho When it’s over take half his Dough Eeenie Meenie Miney Mo ****
I think it's pretty safe to say that no one here has quite the same potential as a target for every temptation under the sun as "billionaire" Tiger Woods. Being a super star golfer, super rich, young and considered attractive can make resistance nearly impossible. Money and fame can be very destructive.
Doing what's right isn't always easy but it's always right.
Yes you are right there, but may I add that the most important word in that sentence is "nearly". And beyond the temptation that fame and riches presents to some men, there is one thing about this story that pretty much sickens me, it sickens me and has me feeling very badly for the wife, Elin. There are quotes from at least three of his "conquests" out there in the news and on the internet which basically have him telling his girlies .......... "Damn, I'm glad I found you ...... sex with my wife is pretty crappy." (or) "Don't you know that our marriage is just for show?" How do you think that makes the wife feel? **** I don't care how rich and famous you are, if you cannot keep that kind of talk from your young wife's ears ...... you are simply a DIRT BAG. Tiger Woods is a DIRT BAG.
..... she is waaaay too decent for this guy. **** http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/34351690/ns/sports/ Elin reportedly wants to save marriage to Tiger 'She loves him and she is devastated over learning of his philandering' ************* Much more importantly: Obama's Carbon Commissars New York Post (snip) -- Who needs Congress to help govern America? Not the Obama administration, it seems. At the UN Climate Control conference in Copenhagen yesterday, Environmental Protection Agency head Lisa Jackson said that she wants to work with Congress to contain carbon emissions that her agency claims are "dangerous." "This is not an either/or moment. This is a both/and moment," Jackson said. Consider that the velvet glove covering the administration's extremist fist -- which had itself been revealed a day earlier in Washington. An Obama staffer -- speaking anonymously, of course -- told Fox News: "If [Congress doesn't] pass [emissions-control] legislation . . . the EPA is going to have to regulate in this area. And it is not going to be able to regulate in a market-based way, so it's going to have to regulate in a command-and-control way." **** http://market-ticker.org/archives/1717-Ill-Hold-You-Down-And.....html I'll Hold You Down And.... ... pour used oil in your mouth. Well, not literally. But Congress might, if the EPA doesn't cut this crap out: The Obama administration is warning Congress that if it doesn't move to regulate greenhouse gases, the Environmental Protection Agency will take a "command-and-control" role over the process in a way that could hurt business. The warning, from a top White House economic official who spoke Tuesday on condition of anonymity, came on the eve of EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson's address to the international conference on climate change in Copenhagen, Denmark. Oh really? Did you forget, Lisa, where your operating budget comes from? That would be Congress. Guess who can close your agency - in an afternoon? That would be Congress. Threatening them - assuming this isn't just more kabuki theater intended to divert public anger from the skull- that is about to be served upon them - is rather unwise. Should this not be just another game of misdirection and should Congress (e.g. Sensenbrenner and other reasonable minds on The Capitol - clearly in the minority, but heh, there are a few) decide that your pie hole makes a good used oil receptacle I'll drain my CO2-producing boat engines just to make sure they have plenty to use for this purpose. I wouldn't want the dirty oil to be in them, you know..... ****
A vast majority of what we label "addiction" is in fact nothing more than rude, inconsiderate, narcissistic and boorish behavior. Very few things are addictive. Unfortunately we live in the age of the buzzword and arm-chair psychologist. Tiger had sex with a bajillion women because he could and he liked it and was too full of himself to care about how it might impact others like his wife and children. He's an asshole, not an addict. Addiction should be confined to the realms of true chemical dependence and true mental disorders, and it is a damned shame that so many buy into the whole faux addiction model these days.
MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
men too You don't even need money to dazzle men - just one or two things - good food and as BTS continues to remind us, good looks. Men are so simple. ;-)
Happy Birthday, Jesus! Merry Christmas to everyone!
Well, not quite. A good attitude is required as well. Guys don't like flaming bitches, even nice looking ones that can cook. Well, I don't at least. Men are no more nor less simple than women, women just think they're complex because they sit around gabbing with each other 24/7 about their utter and indisputable wonderfulness. Truth be told, they have few real needs to be met, one simply has to frame the meeting of those needs in different ways to create the perception of complexity. My opinion, women's supposed complexity is due to women's own confusion about their own needs, combined with an emotion driven world view that, were a man to try it, would find him comitted to an insane asylum in an instant.

My needs are simple. It starts with good food and wine. Yes - you are correct on the bitchiness part. Men don't like that - nor do they like gossip and all the drama that comes with it. Not real men anyway.

Tiger Woods Holiday Poem Twas the night of Thanksgiving and out of the house Tiger Woods he came flying, chased by his spouse. She wielded a nine iron and wasn’t too merry, Because a bimbo’s phone number she found on his blackberry. He’d been cheating on poor little Elin, And as each day went by another whore came out squealing. He’d been on Holly, on Jaimee, on Rachel, on Cori, On Joselyn, and Kalika, TMZ had the story. From the top of the world to above the fold, Tiger’s ever more sorted tale, it was told. With hostesses, waitresses, he had lots of sex, And when he wasn’t hosing them, he sent them hot texts. He crashed his Caddy, but didn’t call OnStar, Yet he played “spank me daddy” with a skanky old porn star. He’s been naughty, so with Santa he hasn’t a chance, Except the big lump of coal that matches the lump in his pants. But despite all his crying and begging and pleading, Tiger’s wife went right out, bought a new home in Sweden. And I heard her exclaim as she packed up the Escalade, If you’re going to get laid, then I’m going to get paid. Now she’s not pouting, in fact she’s of good cheer, Because her prenup made Christmas come early this year.
funny ;)

Tiger had sex with a bajillion women because he could and he liked it and was too full of himself to care about how it might impact others like his wife and children. He's an asshole, not an addict. --- Yes..... he is a major league *sshole. I hope his wife leaves him soon because she will never love him the way she had in the past. Every time he may wish to "make love" to her in the future, she will never feel at all the same about it. (jmo) Addiction should be confined to the realms of true chemical dependence and true mental disorders, and it is a damned shame that so many buy into the whole faux addiction model these days. --- Agreed.
Just one second .... I appreciate an attractive woman ....... but I really love an intelligent attractive woman.

........ not bad.
When, oh when, will white women learn that ultimate happiness is NOT to be found in the arms of a rich nigger/mulatto sports jock? Wasn't O.J. Simpson the definitive bottom line to all this miscegenation nonsense??

How do you think that makes the wife feel? I'm thinking that's going to take some splainin'. Good thing she is a whore that was hired to stick around,huh?
Absolutely! So far he has had sex with two different porn stars that we know of,and there is likely to be more pop up before it's all over. These women have unprotected sex with anything and everything several times a day,and are almost walking EPA bio-hazard sites. If his wife doesn't cut him off for at least 6 months while she has every test known to mankind done to both herself and him,she is nuts.
You sound like a real *sshole saying that. Only the people close to you MAY know whether you are a demented *sshole or not. But, for now .......... you appear just to be an ugly cynic on Elin's actual nature. For one ..... I am disappointed in your sorry, jaded personality. I know you are better than this.
EPA bio-hazard sites ---- and they fart too (carbon credits please)
Tiger Woods' Alleged Mistress Takes Precautions ((A Little Late )) TMZ Tiger Woods' alleged mistress #1 -- Rachel Uchitel -- has flipped out after learning how many women now claim to have had unprotected sex with Tiger -- and she is telling friends she will get screened for sexually transmitted diseases, stat. In short, she's doing the right thing. Friends say Rachel is particularly upset that Tiger allegedly slept with two porn stars.
OK, and so is at least half of the American married male population. Do you think she and Tiger would be married if he were an attendant at the local car wash instead of a multi-millionaire sports idol ?
Doing what's right isn't always easy but it's always right.
Why do you ask --- because he would have never met her in the first place ...... or because he would not have beem so "challenged by temptation"? No matter ...... it's a VERY silly question.
Larry Elder-----Townhall.com The Lessons of Tiger Woods "Tiger's finished." "Define 'finished,'" I said to a friend in response to her assessment. Will Tiger Woods lose endorsements? Yes. How many and for how long remain open questions. Has the carefully groomed image of the contented family man who "has it all" gone supernova? Absolutely. Will he lose his wife, given her public humiliation and her shattered trust in her husband? Strong possibility. But the history books are full of Act Twos. Going Rogue by Sarah Palin FREE Woods is a golfer. He is neither politician nor pastor. As he struggles to deal with his apparent inner demons/self-loathing/shame/embarrassment/dishonor, he can still golf. The curiosity factor alone means stratospheric ratings for his next tournament, especially if he's still contending on the final day. People unable to spell "golf" will tune in for his next event. As bad as all of this is -- especially for his wife -- Woods hasn't killed anybody, at least that we know of. The more bizarre things become -- the growing number of alleged mistresses, his mother-in-law's hospitalization, the recklessness of his behavior -- new revelations may start producing diminishing returns in shock value. People will wonder whether he's a really rotten guy with a phony stage-managed image or a really sick guy who "needs help." A friend and I recently watched a professional football game. The announcer mentioned a stellar player. My friend said, "I like him. He's amazing." I said, "Still standing, after being tried for murder." She thought I was joking. "And," I said, "he pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice for lying to the police." We Googled it. He not only lied to the police but told others to do so, as well. Former President Bill Clinton is the only elected president ever to be impeached. He pleaded guilty to contempt of court for lying under oath and temporarily lost his law license. Does Clinton draw down the window shades, only to venture out under cover of night to go to the ATM? Please. He blamed the Republicans, who wanted to "overturn elections." Defenders said, "Everybody lies about sex." Had the Constitution permitted it, Clinton could have won a third term. When Clinton first ran for president, he admitted on "60 Minutes" having had "problems with his marriage." People interpreted this to mean an acknowledgment of previous cheating with a promise to sin no more. But he did. He lied to the country about it. He lied about it under oath. Today he strolls around the globe, an elder statesman whose opinions are sought out and somberly considered. The Rev. Jesse Jackson, in the midst of Clinton's crisis, went to the White House to serve as a presidential "mentor." Jackson brought his visibly pregnant mistress, and both later posed for a group photograph in the Oval Office. When Jackson's scandal broke, he briefly closed shop. But he soon said, "The ground is no place for a champion. The ground is no place that I will wallow on." Back in business. As to former President Richard Nixon, few have fallen from so high to so low so quickly. He went from the most powerful person on earth to a guy ACORN wouldn't hire. The only U.S. president to resign, Nixon did so just ahead of an impeachment posse, with a conviction in the Senate a near certainty. After leaving office, he got paid for an interview with David Frost, wrote a bunch of books and gave speeches on foreign policy. He sufficiently redeemed himself, to the point that by former President George W. Bush's second term, many Democrats thought Bush's "crimes" worthier of impeachment than those of Nixon. As for Woods, he once had a favorable rating of nearly 85 percent. A recent poll still gave him a favorable rating of 60 percent. And Woods conceivably could even turn public opinion in his favor if he continues to excel on the golf course. "My, what an ability to focus!" etc. There are many lessons here. There is the silliness of considering celebrities, about whom we really know very little, to be "role models." There is the envy, sometimes, of the lives of others when very little is as it seems. Fortunate is the person who can look back at his or her life and say, "I would do it all again, the same way." My dad once said that to me. Most of us mortals have made mistakes, sometimes too many to count. Some mistakes have to do with career. Some have to do with money. Some have to do with other poor decisions and poor choices -- reconsidered, of course, with the benefit of hindsight. But the ones that cause the most regret and the most pain have to do with the treatment of other people -- especially those who loved and trusted us. We finally discover the value and worth of what we once had and failed to appreciate. And now it's too late. Good luck, Mr. Woods.
I'm saying they're both suffering self inflicted wounds ... he's a tramp and she's a gold digger.
Doing what's right isn't always easy but it's always right.
To be fair - I know some interracial (Black man/white woman) couples that have been together for many years. You have a good point about the wealth, but I think that goes with any wealthy couples regardless of skin color.
Happy Birthday, Jesus! Merry Christmas to everyone!
She has her own money.
