I'm wondering if this psycho knocked him out AFTER he got out of the car from hitting the tree. Elin knocked him out with the MASTERS IRON. You know that neighbor saw her beating on him with that golf club. AND, TMZ is realllly trying to slip him some money to give them the real scoop.

I'll bet she did hit him while he was on the ground. IIRC, A CNN reporter was reading from the police report and said Tiger was dazed. It sounded like the neighbor on the 911 call stated Tiger was laying on the ground unconscience. Prolly cuz the crazy ass heffa had hit him in the face.

To think of how you'd feel when you saw it
I didn't know that I had that much strength
But I'm glad you see what happens when…
You see can't just play with people's feelings
Tell them you love them and don't mean it
You'll probably say that it was juvenile
But I think that I deserve to smile
I bust the windows out ya car
You know I did it cause I left my mark
Wrote my initials with the crowbar
And then I drove off into the dark
I bust the windows out ya car
You should feel lucky that that's all I did
After five whole years of this bullshit
Gave you all of me and you played with it
Oooh ahh…
I must admit it helped a little bit
To think of how you'd feel when you saw it
I didn't know that I had that much strength
But I'm glad you see what happens when…
You see you can't just play with people's feelings
Tell them you love them and don't mean it
You'll probably say that it was juvenile
But I think that I deserve to smile
But it don't comfort to my broken heart
You could never feel how I felt that day
Until it happens baby you don't know pain
Oooh Yeah I did it (Yeah I did it)
You should know it (You should know it)
I ain't sorry (I ain't sorry)
You deserved it (You deserved it)
After what you did to me (After what you did)
You deserved it (You deserved it)
I ain't sorry (I ain't sorry)
No no oh… (I ain't sorry)
You broke my heart
So I broke ya car
You caused me pain (You caused me pain)
So I did the same
Even though all that you did to me was much worse

Just check this shit out. Police in Tacoma, WA are looking for a guy who has a history of violence, etc., in Arkansas as “a person of interest” in the murder of the four cops in the coffee shop this morning.
Arkansas…
Clemmons has “extensive violent criminal history from Arkansas, including aggravated robbery and theft,” the sheriff's department said in a statement.
He also was recently charged in Pierce County in connection with the assault of a police officer and the rape of a child, according to the statement.
According to a local prosecutor in Arkansas and past articles published by the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, a repeat offender named Maurice Clemmons had his 95-year prison sentence commuted in 2001 by then-Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.
If it is the same Maurice Clemmons, I wonder if this will derail Huckabee's political train.

Huckabee's goose is cooked for this. Huckabee was the best shot of the Repubs in 2012 b/c PBO already took any moderate Republican that was sane and non-threatening into his administration. PBO wasn't taking any chances: Jim Huntsman–former moderate Republican Utah governor–who is fluent in Mandarin is his ambassador to China and John McHugh, who was well-respected in the House–third in succession in the House I think–is his Secretary of the Army–He's the guy that was replaced in NY-23 race.
Huckabee basically could represent conservatism in he's friendly and has some “liberal” tendencies–he supported legalization of undocumented immigrant children or in-state tuition for their children. He has that Ned Flanders, aw shucks quality about him while having understanding of policy since he didn't quit his job as Arkansas governor–he did two full terms. He also has a great personal story, having lost weight–naturally–through proper diet and exercise. He coulda been a contender. But this is his Willie Horton moment and he's going to get killed in the Repub primaries for this. The comments on Politico say it all: He's a Democrat b/c he believes in pardoning criminals.

Former White House Guest List Chief Says She Quit Because Of Changes Made By Obama's Social Secretary
http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/declassified/arc...
The White House staff member whose job was to supervise the guest list for state dinners and clear invitees into the events says she was stripped of most of her responsibilities earlier this year, prompting her to resign last June.
The account of Cathy Hargraves, who formerly served as White House “assistant for arrangements,” raises new questions about whether changes that she says were made by President Obama's social secretary, Desiree Rogers, may have contributed to the security lapses that permitted Virginia socialites Michele and Tareq Salahi to crash the state dinner for India's prime minister last week and get themselves photographed with the president.
November 30th, 2009
Huckabee might be a good ole, aw-shucks boy, but he's deceitful. I don't like him. There are other places picking up on the 'Willie Horton' angle. Politico was just the first I saw; otherwise I wouldn't have linked there. Can't stand it.
November 30th, 2009
Not saying that Huckabee should be president but he had the most possibility: He's more genuine and authentic than Romney who has flipped and flopped to no end; he's more intelligent than Sarah Palin; is more morally sound that married 3 times Giuliani. He basically could come off as moderate and somewhat populist policy-wise while getting the religious right since he's an ordained Baptist pastor. Think a little right to Bill Clinton but more religious. Basically, Huckabee is what Sarah Palin should be aspiring to if she would read a darn book, the BBC daily and a map.
This is actually good news for Obama; one less sane Republican blocking him.
November 30th, 2009
Flame me if you must but this breech was Desiree Rogers' fault. Her office is part of the security apparatus at these dinners. Reportedly she herself confirmed that she had no person at the gate with the guest list checking people. This was her responsibility to assign someone to the post. Instead she was running around showing off her dress instead of guarding for the barbarians at the gates.
She's a glamorous woman, strong and all, but she needs to get it together. Yes, the Secret Service is overloaded, but if she would have done what other Social Secretaries traditionally do, which is to have someone with the guest list at the entrance greeting everyone and checking to make sure they are on the list. If someone is sketchy you refer them to the Secret Service. She made the administration look amateurish and threatened the lives of those in the Line of Succession
November 30th, 2009
I agree with your characterization of Huckabee; I just don't like him.

The police in Seattle have surrounded a house based “on a tip” that Mr. Clemmons – allegedly the shooter of four police officers in Tacoma – is there. Hunkering down. The house is owned by a relative of Mr. Clemmons.
November 30th, 2009
“…threatened the lives of those in the Line of Succession.”
To say nothing of the honoured guest, Prime Minister Singh.
Or the next State Dinner honouree – “No thanks, Barack, let's just meet at the IN-N-OUT in Sausalito, you and I can talk over 3x3s Animal Style. Make sure that your SS detail this time is made up of only experienced non-political appointees, and leave Desiree at home. I mean it.”

I searched on 'soul train' on youtube, Minnie was the first non-Soul Train line act listed. I wanted to add a solo performance to my Soul Train homage above.
Have you not seen Maya Rudolph on SNL over the last decade? Her impression of Oprah selling the Chicago Olympic bid was hilarious.
November 30th, 2009
“She made the administration look amateurish…”
She talks of 'branding' the Obama presidency. This debacle is probably not what she intended.
From WSJ this Spring:
“You have to think about it [the social secretary job], in my mind, almost like a business. Otherwise, you never get there. You get caught in linen hell and flower hell, list hell,” Rogers says as she reflects on the first series of high-profile events.
Now we know that she meant “List? Hell!”
Will we ever find out what the conversation was like when the Secret Service questioned her on not having personnel at the entrances? Or when she brought pressure to bear to speed up the admittance process? She strikes me as the type of boss who will threaten you with your job if you don't do what she wants, right now. The side-step the consequences and blame when it all goes tits-up.

I'm still looking forward to your 'question about Rhodesia', Myth. Hope I can help out, but I (obviously) never lived there.

It's starting to come out that the 'gate-crashing' couple and PBHO go back a few years. Pictures of them together as far back as IL state senate days.
Could it be that the couple were passed at checkpoints based on verbal orders drom WH staff, and then the WH was embarrassed by the pics showing up on Facebook? The media twig to the fact that the couple wasn't on the published list, so the WH goes into CYA, blame it on the Secret Service mode?
Were the Salahis seated for dinner? That would tell a lot.
And if they are not charged with anything, that will say even more.
November 30th, 2009
Wholeheartedly agree. That's what he gets for marrying the nanny…
November 30th, 2009
I concur!
November 30th, 2009
“Her office is part of the security apparatus at these dinners.”
Desiree was a guest at the dinner.
In the past, White House social secretaries have worked, not partied, on the nights of major events, racing around to make sure everything is going according to plan.
Apparently, she's too good for that.
