We don't like going the TMZ route, but if anybody has to be careful with his image it's THE GOLFING MACHINE. With all those zillions in endorsements, with all the corner offices he controls, with all the PR types (read sports writers) who swoon to his name, you'd think he'd have a little bit of sense. But sense does not come readily in the rarefied world TGM inhabits, and he can always buy another 10,000 SUVs (TRICKLE-DOWN!), and enough CEOs and PR types will excuse him, and especially given his alleged amour we do not feel the least bit sorry for him.

P. S. Of course it's possible this is but as manifestation of the kind of glorified blackmail to which the rich and famous are prone, and possibly TGM is innocent. But people have professed to be "shocked" too often about our superiors, who are frequently as superior as the things that crawl under rocks. Even if this is just a baseless rumor that got too well circulated it's hard to work up sympathy for the victim as our superiors have lots of things we peons don't.

How many people go to TMZ.com and need a shower afterwards? It was one thing when it broke WACKO'S death, but too often it's -- another.
