I don't buy that "no domestic violence" line one bit. Maybe Tiger just has another terminology for what happened on Thanksgiving. But all of that press conference was so contrived. I mean, what did anyone expect?
On the other end of the "it takes two to tango" part of this story, Joslyn James, that stripper-turned-mistress, was crying and was suprised by what she called lying. "Tiger Woods' Alleged Mistress Wants Personal Apology," KTLA News, 2:38 PM CST, February 19, 2010. http://www.wgntv.com/sports/tiger-woods/ktla-tiger-joslyn-presser,0,7828085.story She said she deserved better.
In that story, she was with her lawyer, Gloria Allred. Here's a good part from this story:
Her attorney, Gloria Allred, immediately offered a response, saying Woods' apology was "a staged public relations stunt" and "a disgrace."
"I just watched Tiger Woods' apology on television, and he said that many people believed in him. He also said he wanted to make amends. He did not apologize by name to my client, Veronica, and I ask, why no apology?"
Well, duh? Ms. "Pot calling the kettle black" lawyer, the very fact that you represent this woman is part of the circus, but that's a given for so many of the cases that you take before the cameras, in my opinion. Consider that the guy is married and owed a duty to his WIFE according to the wedding vows. The MISTRESS was a willing participant in Tiger's cheating and could see Tiger was making his own rules as he went along. Maybe Ms. Mistress owes the wife an apology. But Tiger is trying to keep his wife, it seems, and not his mistress, but he might be more successful if those roles were switched, but we'll see.
The apology expectation by Allred's client is such a bunch of nonsense. When somebody's cheating, that's already a big tipoff to a character flaw and asking for an apology from somebody like that is neither called for, nor should be expected. Tiger was too slimy, and to use a phrase from the old Lone Ranger t.v. show, "He speaks with forked tongue." Before you take off with that imagery, let me specify- Tiger was a cheater with the mistress completely in on it, and that makes him a liar, so what causes you to think he's going to apologize to his accomplice? She went into this thing fully aware of the cirecumstances. I was going to say "with her eyes wide open," but let's avoid any more imagery being misinterpreted.
Well, I did a quick Google search and there are just TOO MANY mistresses to keep track of. Tiger was a walking Viagra commercial, but without the Viagra. What a life this guy was having and it turned out to be some very expensive sex in lost endorsements, missed golf tournaments and potential divorce settlement terms. I will leave it at that. But you know that with all this mess, he is and will remain very wealthy, which is a lot better than many people have it these days. Poor Tiger.
