Press Corps Picks on Tiger

Yikes. I stumbled on this while reading today's White House "press gaggle" aboard Air Force One...


MR. BURTON (DEPUTY PRESS SECRETARY): There isn't a lot scheduled for this week. You can bet there's going to be some golf playing, maybe a little swimming, but a lot of time spent with his family.

Q Any time spent with Tiger Woods?

MR. BURTON: I think that's a bad rumor. I don't even know that he's going to be here this week. But no, there's -- nothing like that is on the schedule. There's no plan for that. But certainly Tiger Woods is a good golfer, and it's fun to play with him, I hear. Unless you're in a tournament and he's beating you -- probably by a lot.

Q Not always. (Laughter.)

MR. BURTON: That was Jeff Zeleny of The New York Times who said that. (Laughter.)


Ouch. Ever think you'd see the day when Tiger Woods would be the butt of jokes? And by reporters, no less! And some said that one little loss at Hazeltine wouldn't change anything...
