Some say smiles are good for you. Tiger Woods by the tail http://www.rhyner.com/video/TigerByTheTail.wmv I'd rate it PG-13

Brit HumeBrit Hume stated: “If Tiger WoodsTiger Woods made a true conversion we would know it. It would show through in his being and he would know it above all. And he would feel the extraordinary blessing that that would be. . .It would be a shining light. It would be a magnificent thing to Woods.”

Fox shock! As was noted on WorldMagBlog yesterday, Brit Hume crossed the line of decency on Fox News Sunday With Chris Wallace (and on Sunday, of all days!) by recommending “the Christian faith” to Tiger Woods as the remedy for his personal problems. In case you missed it, here’s the clip (viewer discretion advised): < snip > Was Hume abusing his position as a newsman on a panel of news analysts? Or was he just offering . . . analysis? Kyle Koster at The Chicago Sun-Times, for example, points out the oddity of “a newsman offering advice to the beleaguered...

There was a time when discussing one’s Christian faith may have been less controversial, but I don’t know. Even fifty years ago, there would have been a presumption that people would view Tiger Woods’ actions as immoral and a sign that he had some sort of emptiness in his life. Back in the day, such wanton infidelity was simply not spoken of publicly. It would be too shameful. Now the media spreads every sort of salacious detail of a celebrity’s life, and everyone is free to comment. Why should there not be a comment on his faith, too? We know...

Here is video evidence that Brit Hume's comments advocating Christian Faith are making liberal heads explode. The video is of Keith Olbermann talking to another lefty as they mock and ridicule Brit Hume for having the audacity to advocate for the Christian faith - the faith he has found to be meaningful in his life, and which he urged Tiger Woods to consider. This is a perfect example of what a person can expect if they cross the "politically correct" boundary that the Left feels they have a right to impose on society. Somehow, if Hume was advocating the virtues...

Here is video of MSNBC's Joe Scarborough this morning defending comments made by Fox News' Brit Hume in which Hume advised golfer Tiger Woods to "turn to the Christian faith" to rebuild his life. Mika Brzezinski took issue with Scarborough, but he persisted in his view that what Hume said was perfectly valid. . . . (VIDEO)

During the 3PM ET hour of live coverage on MSNBC, anchor David Shuster claimed that Fox News political analyst Brit Hume "denigrated Christianity" when suggesting that scandal-ridden golfer Tiger Woods convert to the faith. Shuster made the comments while discussing the issue with MSNBC political analyst Pat Buchanan, asking: "Doesn’t it also denigrate Christianity when you do that on a Sunday political talk show? This isn’t church, this isn’t some sort of holy setting, this is a political talk show....Doesn’t that minimize the significance of Christianity, when you bring a discussion of Christianity into a conversation about politics?" Buchanan replied:...

A man goes out golfing. He is on the second hole when he notices a frog sitting next to The green. He thinks nothing of it and is about to shoot when he hears, "Ribbit 9 Iron." The man looks around and doesn't see anyone. Again, he hears, "Ribbit 9 Iron." He looks at the frog and decides to Prove the frog wrong, puts the club Away, and grabs a 9 iron. Boom! He hits it 10 inches from the cup. He is shocked. He says to the frog, "Wow that's amazing. You must be a lucky frog, The frog...

For I am not ashamed of the gospel: it is the power of God for salvation to every one who has faith, to the Jew first and also to the Greek — Romans 1:16 RSV.Something truly amazing happened yesterday morning on the Fox News Sunday show hosted by Chris Wallace. In the roundtable discussion at the end of the show, each panelist was asked to make a sports prediction for 2010. Brit Hume forecast that Tiger Woods will get his golf game back on track, but then went on to say:Whether he can recover as a person [...] it seems...

Tiger Woods life has changed dramatically ever since that fateful night at the neighbor's tree. He's stepped aside from the PGA Tour (for the moment) and his sponsors have all either dropped him or rearranged his "duties." We probably won't hear directly from Tiger again for some time. His own personal domestic issues have ruined his career and killed his reputation. Why did David Letterman get a pass? I would argue that Mr. Letterman's actions were a lot worse considering the circumstances. He abused his position of power over young, ambitious females to gain control over them in a sexual...

"She wants 100 percent divorce, 100 percent custody of the children, and half of everything. And she won't be changing her mind," a confidant of the Swedish stunner told the British tab[loid News of the World]. The hard-line stance stems from Woods' refusal to seek help for his twin addictions to sex and pills, the paper reported. ...

A porn flick of Tiger Wood’s X-rated escapades will be released in January, heaping yet more embarrassment on the golf superstar. An adult film company made the tongue-in-cheek film – called Tiger’s Wood – with roles for jilted wife Elin Nordegren, celebrity lawyer Gloria Allred and alleged mistresses Rachel Uchitel and Jaimee Grubbs. Self-proclaimed “A-list porn star” Tyler Knight plays Tiger .............

There's more money and less intellectual effort in judging, vilifying and diminishing Tiger Woods than in providing the public a lens to understand him and a sports world/culture that long ago was perverted by television's money and fame. It takes no courage or thought to recognize Tiger's personal failure. He, as far as we know, shamed his wife and family. We can assume Tiger's Swedish wife adopted our American marriage value of strict monogamy, and she is mortified and shocked that her ridiculously famous, handsome, billionaire husband gave in to the temptation of road beef.

A weeping blonde model claimed yesterday that she ended her affair with Tiger Woods after she woke up in the middle of the night to find him texting other mistresses. Cori Rist, 31, who has a seven-year-old son, said she initially believed the billionaire golfer when he told her his marriage was on the rocks. And she thought she was the only 'other woman' in his life - until she caught him secretly sending texts while he was in bed with her. 'I would wake up sometimes in the night in hotels with him and hear him text messaging,' she...

Tiger Woods's multiple infidelities have been dismissed as a "minor blip" by the chairman of Nike, the golfer's biggest commercial sponsor. Phil Knight, the co-founder of the sports footwear and clothing giant, said the scandal surrounding Woods's private life was "part of the game" in endorsement deals. But he acknowledged that his company's checks on the sports star's suitability had failed to uncover evidence of serial philandering.

Scandal-hit golfer Tiger Woods' wife Elin Nordegren has bought a vast beachfront estate on an island near Stockholm that can only be reached by boat, a residents' association said on Sunday. "Elin Nordegren bought a house on the island, it's true. She's the owner since December 1," Sten-Aake Johansson, head of Faaglaro island's residents association, told AFP. There are around 140 properties on Faaglaro, which is about 40 kilometres (25 miles) southeast of the Swedish capital. "The property consists of several houses, it's a renovated farm, on the water with a beach," Johansson said. According to the Swedish Aftonbladet daily...

It certainly did not take a long time for one of the world's greatest athletes to fall from grace. Just a few weeks ago, the only news Tiger Woods made was on the golf course. Then suddenly, everything changed. In one incredible, tragic moment, Woods became persona non grata. How did this fall from grace occur? Why did this shining star in the world of professional sports virtually destroy his career and marriage in one fell swoop? Because he could. Propped up by celebrity, ego massagers and roadies, Woods could get anything and everything he wanted in an easily accessible...

STOCKHOLM — A Swedish residential official confirmed Saturday that Tiger Woods' wife bought a house on a small island off Stockholm. Stenake Johansson, the chairman of the Residential Association on Faglaro island, told the Associated Press that Elin Nordegren became the owner of a six-bedroom house on Dec. 1. The island is only reachable by boat.

Which Prostitution Scandal Is Worse, Tiger Woods or Max Baucus?December 11, 2009 BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Now, Tiger Woods. New York Daily News today. It actually looks like an AP story: "Tiger Woods was into threesomes and shelled out more than $60,000 to cat around with high-priced hookers, a Hollywood madam claimed Thursday. 'One of his favorites was Loredana Jolie,' Michelle Braun told the Daily News, describing the gorgeous blond as a Playboy model from Sicily who's been living in New York since age 14. 'She's a stunning girl,' said Braun," who I guess is the madam here. "'He went out...

Tiger Woods, the greatest golfer of his generation and one of the highest-earning athletes ever, said Friday he would take an indefinite break from professional golf to focus on his family.
