Don't give Blue any ideas.

If I were a male and the politican were male, would you have asked if I'd been bothered less if the joke had been directed at a female politician?

Why do gender differences and gender issues enter into almost every single one of your posts?

He is always pushing the line and speaking his mind. Whats wrong with that. The one thing I like about him is that Tiger refuses to speak with him, because he did not kiss Tigers feet. However I have always found his act boring.

And for all of those that dislike what he said, shall we bring out all of the things that have been said about Bush from mainstream comics and celebrities.

He's actually paid by CBS to be a color commentator who occasionally adds humor to the boredom that golf telecasts can become. What he writes and is published is between him and his editors, whether it be for magazines or a book.

You are misinformed about Feherty's relationship with Tiger. It was widely reported recently about a humorous post round interview where Feherty called Tiger a "loser." It was taken by Tiger in the funny way it was intended and Tiger played along with it. They are friends.

YouTube - tiger woods david feherty interview very funny

And....er....Feherty does indeed kiss Tiger's feet. They all do.

I do not recall any comics or celebrities joking about soldiers putting a bullet through the head of President George W Bush. Disagreeing with him and disliking him, yes....making assassination jokes, no.

If Sarah Palin were somehow Speaker of the House or Senate Majority we'd be in one hell of a mess, but we survived Gingrich so I guess anything's possible.

But seriously, yes, of course. If he said the same thing about an elevator and putting a bullet in Speaker Palin's head, of course. It's just really dumb to make assassination jokes on behalf of 10,000 or so other people and then to name names.

We also have a chance to survive Pelosi, which shows just how damned tough this country is.

He may be trying to get back in Tigers good graces, but he is currently on Tigers avoid list. Tiger will not do interviews with him. This occured after he told the truth after Tiger had a bad round and said so and said the was a problem with his swing at that time. None of this A game B game crap. He called out the truth after a round and Tiger has not spoken to him since.

Just like someone should call him out after his round yesterday.

I can't acces you tube here, but what is the date of this interview.

Nope, because males get it. It's a joke, OK it's an old crude joke, but it is a joke, nothing more.

The interview was after the last round at Quail Hollow, where Tiger finished 4th. Sunday, May 3, 2009.

Sorry...your information about Tiger avoiding him, etc are wrong. If Tiger wishes to avoid someone...he does so.
