"This is a new world he's living in and he doesn't get to set the rules now"
Tom English on Tiger's inevitable return and his hiring of Ari Fleischer to help craft answers to questions:
Tiger sought to kill this issue with an angry riposte during his piece to camera last month, but this is a new world he's living in and he doesn't get to set the rules now, however much he wants to. He will be asked about Galea and he'll need to answer, from the heart, not from a page in Fleischer's dossier.
None of us knows what kind of man Tiger is going to be when he reappears, but the Fleischer connection is not going to persuade his critics that the new Woods is going to be much different from the old one.

Another coup for the brilliant team of sycophants and enablers.
How long will it take for Ari to call on bigger names to claim they "know Tiger" and "believe in him?
Will Karl make an appearance? Inquiring minds want to know!
I can imagine the reasons why she's been so mute. Of course, she’s been mute from the first time the world met her earlier in the decade. The more I think about it she might be a bimbo, too.
Anyhow, I'll bet the reasons for her mutism are some mighty good ones. And why she hasn't pulled a Jenny Sanford yet is fascinating to ponder. Why not? Are you paralyzed by what the world will think of you if you bolt? Honey, give us something. Show us something. We want to feel sorry for you, but as time goes on it’s hard to. All we ever see you do is pump gas.
This whole psychofreak drama is so far from over I'm afraid to go to the bathroom for fear I’ll miss something and I drink waaaaaaay to much coffee. Consider the event horizon: the Augusta National Golf Club jowl-flapping hissy fit in PMS green 560 is about to begin. And can you just imagine when Ari Fleischer or Glenn Greenspan finally open their mouths on behalf of their client …or are those two spokesmen who never say anything so excited about being in Cheetah’s inner circle that they’re too busy holding each other’s boners?
Steroids ... or not, Tiger? Or you shot up just a little bit, and then quit because you didn’t want to destroy the dreams of some twelve year old First Tee golfer in Mississippi who looks up to you? More adult movie actresses tearfully confessing love for you while lawyers hold their hands? Aborted Tiger babies … for sale in Las Vegas? A couple of live Tiger black-market babies … for sale in Tijuana? A flood of new golf course design contracts? What else might pop up down the fairway for the greatest golfer in the world and his oddly tranquil wife?
I have not yet received my Karl Rove book from Amazon. . . Do you know - does Karl say that Tiger confirmed WMD in Iraq just before the invasion? . . . Is the entire Woods affair just to divert attention from Obama's problems? . . . Help us out here -
Obama's problems are of his own making, unfortunately, there now our problems too.
Have to admit to being mighty curious as to why Elin hasn't kicked this SOB into touch. I can understand her wanting to saving her marriage because her parents divorced. However, given the sheer scale of his cheating, why on earth would she think she could ever trust him again?
Ok, she could be hanging about for appearance's sake for a few years to secure a greater slice of alimony BUT she was hardly going to be walking away with a pittance had she left him immediately.
If only out of respect for her kids, she should have walked. At the end of the day, he put their health at risk as well.
