Hume WAS a Washington correspondent. He is now a COMMENTATOR. And he was indeed commenting on the situation.

Maybe Hume has some license in this area because of what happened with his son...but that’s still NOT why he is on TV.
And even if I happen to agree with his advice to Woods generally, Woods specifically should be out of bounds for these shows at this point. There is no public interest issue in any of this. It’s just salacious gossip-mongering of the worst sort.
As far as someone having license to advise someone else because of similar experiences and such, John Daly would have more license to advise Tiger Woods than Brit Hume or almost anyone else. After all, Daly was a prominent golfer who cheated on his wife. (But would anyone imagine Daly could give good advice?)
Anyway, I don’t mean to be hitting anyone over the head in this discussion. I respect everyone’s opinion here at FR and Brit Hume’s too for that matter. I just think he addressed a subject that is WAY off his beat—a subject that had no business being discussed on FNS or even on The Factor at this point.
All that said, I do agree that Hume did a nice job of making his point. But he usually does. And I too hope Tiger can find redemption and save his family life.
