Why is this Tiger Woods story the top story on CNN?

I mean seriously?

Don't get me wrong - I have no problem with Tabloidism. It feeds our inner shadenfruede.

But as a top story????

CNN's two top stories are both Tiger related.

Look - couldn't this be 'below the fold' or so to speak? Put a link on the top of the page and just put something more important, like say the batshit crazy ramblings of CPAC, the Teabagger Terrorist or the Olympics????

1. Word has it, they were trying

to interview you, but you wouldn't answer the phone.

Not confirmed. Just a rumor at this point.
