If I'd been caught out doing something awful, I wouldn't be able to show my face in public again.<br />But all of us sleeping with Tiger Woods--at the same time?? Hmmmm<br />We could all apologize for plagerizing each other's books. I'm sorry, I stole large passages from Air Time and transported them to Buckingham Palace!Rhys Bowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06663634889908752121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-7431734434809608652010-02-15T10:53:40.543-05:002010-02-15T10:53:40.543-05:00Hey Gene,

It's just that the celebrity culture ran away with the whole apology thing. And I guess that's what's annoying, we don't really CARE about their apologies to each other. <br /><br />Well, I guess that's probably wrong. There wouldn't be a whole industry revolved around reporting on celebrities if that were true. But at least I DON'T Care.<br /><br />Thanks for the nomination Jeff!!Jungle Red Writershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16646429819267618412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-15540854934775667632010-02-15T10:33:13.209-05:002010-02-15T10:33:13.209-05:00I'm wondering how Tiger could sleep with Jamie...I'm wondering how Tiger could sleep with Jamie Grubb and not notice what huge balls she has.<br />Remember (try "Frost/Nixon" if you weren't around) how important it seemed for Richard Nixon to say "I'm sorry" and how he wouldn't say it? A lot of the way modern news media have gone about presenting news comes from that era. It started in Vietnam and traveled through the '68 Democratic convention, "60 Minutes," and especially Watergate. Television became technically able to visually give the lie to a person's words. Watergate, which started out in print, concluded with Nixon's constantly televised lack of repentance.<br />And that gave rise to the should he or shouldn't he (or she) apologize culture, which is all we have left involving the principals after a news event. It's good work for lawyers, public relations cos. and television news. That's a lot of upside to the apology game. For news consumers, it's sneaking candy. Like crowding into the priest's booth with millions of people you don't know and hearing confession. Mmmm. <br />One more thing on Jamie Grubb. Maybe she was or even is in love with Tiger. That would be a noble explanation for her demand for an apology which would melt our cold hearts. But pictures, probably not even words, can never tell us that truth.genecassidyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10088143355480310712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-11847675200635362452010-02-15T10:17:35.821-05:002010-02-15T10:17:35.821-05:00OH, Jeff, you rock!
