Culture: Tiger Woods finally breaks down, admits to affairs

  • I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart. I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves.
  • Tiger Woods • Admitting to transgressions and affairs with other women. He should’ve said something on Saturday. Now it’s just a mess and he can’t do anything to fix it. We feel bad for him, but … dude, your PR sucks as much as your golf game rules. source

Culture: David Letterman is still feeling the effects from the sex scandal

  • I’ll be honest with you folks. Right now, I would give anything to be hiking on the Appalachian Trail. I get in the car this morning and the navigation lady wasn’t speaking to me. Ouch.
  • David Letterman • Speaking out on Monday’s show in response to his admission on Thursday that he slept with staffers. He initially didn’t want to bring it up again, but it’s still heavy on the news cycle. So he’s talking about it again. Perhaps the most painful thing thing about the controversy might be dealing with his wife Regina, who he didn’t mention in Thursday’s monologue at all: “”She has been horribly hurt by my behavior, and when something happens like that, if you hurt a person and it’s your responsibility, you try to fix it.” Dude’s got a crappy next few months ahead of him. • source

  • I’m finally beginning to grow up. I’m pretty tired of being stupid and selfish, you know, about myself. The truth needed to come out a long time ago. I’m glad it’s coming out today.
