Culture: Who didn’t Tiger Woods have an affair with, anyway?

  • The latest to come forward: A Perkins waitress. Listen, there’s so many of these reported affairs now that we’re going to guess that some of them aren’t true. Although this one has a better chance than some of the others. Mindy Lawton, a waitress at an Orlando Perkins where Woods was known to get an egg-white omelet with broccoli, claims that she had a year-long relationship with the super-celeb. We’ll say it again, man. You could’ve saved yourself so much trouble had you come clean immediately. Now it’s just a sad, unbearably depressing joke. source

Sports: Did ESPN’s firing of Steve Phillips expose a double-standard?

  • Steve Phillips is no longer working for ESPN. His ability to be an effective representative for ESPN has been significantly and irreparably damaged, and it became evident it was time to part ways.
  • The ESPN network, in a statement • On the firing of “Sunday Night Baseball” analyst Steve Phillips, after he had an affair with a 22-year-old production assistant. ESPN admitted in the quote that it wasn’t the analyst’s conduct that got him fired, but the fact that he made the network look bad. Our take: We, as a culture, were largely sympathetic to David Letterman, even though he basically did the same thing. Why shouldn’t we do the same for Steve Phillips? However, we will say this much – Letterman got to control the story, while ESPN and Phillips largely didn’t. • source

U.S.: Nevada Sen. John Ensign, then and now. It’s pretty sad, kids.

  • Ensign, a social conservative, was one of Bill Clinton’s harshest critics during the Monica Lewinsky saga, saying “the truth must come out.” He also trashed on Larry Craig pretty badly. source
  • The rising Republican star took a detour from rising when he admitted last night to an affair with one of his Congressional staffers. Why now? Dude probably wants to run for president. source
