A black bourgeoisie perspective on U.S. politics
Well, if he was actually trying to raise up outta the house because he and his missus were arguing over his alleged extra-marital activities, I say dude was doing the right thing to haul ass before his wife called the po-po and told them he was smacking her around.
WINDERMERE, Florida (AP)—Tiger Woods finally gave his side of the story Sunday — on his Web site, not to police—and took the blame for an “embarrassing” car crash that gave him cuts, bruises and public scrutiny like never before.
His statement failed to clear up any questions about the middle-of-the-night accident outside his Isleworth estate in which his wife told police she used a golf club to smash the back windows of the Cadillac SUV to help him out.
His wife said she used the golf clubs to help him out of the car. Welllllll, I don’t know, but that sounds like a good cover explanation for why she was wailing on his Caddy SUV (I thought he drove Buick LeSabres, but hell).
So, even if there was just a marital tiff, why isn’t Tiger willing to talk to the po-po about it? Even if he doesn’t have to talk to the police, looks like he’s trying to hide something by refusing to talk to them and clear shyt up.
The statement was posted around 2 p.m. Sunday, about an hour after Woods’ attorney told the Florida Highway Patrol that for the third straight day golf’s No. 1 player would be unavailable to talk to troopers.
I don’t know about y’all, but I’m hoping we’re not going to be treated to “O.J.” part deux. And yeah, the vultures are circling Mr. Woods because he’s not being up front about what happened. Yeah, if he and wifey are having problems, they are personal, but Mr. Woods is a celebrity – a public figure, and what comes with glory is a loss of privacy. His hitting a fire hydrant at 2:00am would be news. When I first heard about it, I thought he was driving drunk, but now it’s looking like he was trying to get away from…something or someone, before it got out of hand, and he was too upset to drive.
Do you really believe that? I’m just sayin’……….
