Tiger Woods a Changed Man? Not So Fast . . .
By Frances Tobin - Politics DailyMary and Luisita, I wish I could share your optimism about Tiger Woods' reach for redemption. But I'm skeptical -- mainly because he timed his supposed mea culpa to coincide with the W.G.C.-Accenture Match Play golf tournament in Arizona. I couldn't help but see that as a craven and immature dig at Accenture, which had dropped its sponsorship deal with Tiger. The act was certainly its own statement, that's for sure. At the same time he was apologizing directly to the camera, he chose to work in a spiteful jab at a company that no longer wanted to endorse his image (now I can see why). It ...
Tiger Woods Grows Up; Better Late Than Never
By Mary C. Curtis - Politics DailyYes, it was in front of a camera with the world watching, not enclosed in a darkened, cramped booth with just a priest as witness, but Tiger Woods just made an old-fashioned confession, complete with a promise to return to the Buddhist traditions from which he has strayed.

By David Gibson - Politics DailyTiger Woods received both acclaim and criticism for his choreographed statement of remorse Friday, with the critiques centering on his refusal to allow any questions from the media. But one thing that the world's top golfer certainly cleared up was the question of his religious faith -- and whether he would be taking the controversial advice of Fox News' Brit Hume and converting to Christianity in order to become a better person. "I recognize I have brought this on myself, and I know, above all, I am the one who needs to change," Woods told the carefully screened audience of friends, family ...
Tiger Woods: He Came, He Spoke, He Conquered
By Luisita Lopez Torregrosa - Politics DailyFinally, after months of keeping the world waiting, gossiping and peeking into the dirtiest secrets of his life, Tiger Woods made his dramatic confession of sex and sin Friday. There was at this moment of expiation a grand manner about him -- from the moment he parted the dark blue curtains and entered a small, crowded room to read a prepared statement to the moment he left 20 minutes later. In between, he admitted his sexual affairs, confirmed that he has been in therapy, and said he would return to golf but did not set a date. Striding into the room where his mother (but not his wife) and ...
