Coulter brought the "glee" on herself through her conduct in her profession. She makes her living insulting people and belittling others. Politicians who pontificate about morals and support laws that apply to other and not themselves? Fair game. Preachers who preach how others should live, while engaging in the very sins against which they preach? Fair game. Radio personalities who state all drug users should be thrown in jail and then get arrested for using drugs illegally? Fair game.

I remain uncomfortable with the pleasures some people seem to get from stories such as this.

Somewhere in this thread a posters writes of Tiger Woods being "brought to his knees." Ick

There was a thread about David Letterman. He had sex with women who worked with him. At a time he was not married. A man tried to blackmail him. Oh the indignation! Someone suggested because he reported the crime it might mean he is guilty of even more heinous things.

But I believe celebrities should have some privacy in areas of their lives not related to their celebrity.

What Tiger Woods did was a violation of his family and twisted. The women who had sex with him - knowing him to be married and because of his fame - are twisted.

But Tiger Woods is a golfer.

It is up to his family to decide whether to forgive him.

And I think Arnold Palmer is the classiest guy in golf. In the sports world. Maybe in the whole world.
