Law Protecting Against Racial Bias Repealed By GOP Lawmakers
Republican Official Targets GOP Candidate In Racially…
Unless you've been under a rock or in a coma, you know that Tiger Woods is embroiled in one of the messiest personal scandals in a long time. Over the last several weeks, multiple mistresses have disclosed the intimate details of their affairs with the acclaimed golfer.
Now, former 'View' co-host Star Jones is making headlines of her own for suggesting that her former boss, media maven Barbara Walters, land Woods' first interview.
Jones was serving as a guest host on Friday's episode of 'The Insider' when she was asked whether Woods should give his first interview to Walters or his pal Oprah Winfrey.
"My former boss might be a good choice," Jones recommended. "She wrote an entire book where she detailed her own affair and got paid a lot of money. She would be a very good choice. That would be like the pot calling the kettle black. I'm not sure she would be sympathetic, but she can't be as judgmental."
The former 'Court TV' host was referencing Walters' affair with married Sen. Edward Brooke, which the 80-year-old journalist detailed in her best-selling memoir 'Audition.'
Jones, a former prosecutor, has been a regular guest host on 'The Insider' since October. When she appeared on the celebrity gossip show's Oct. 12 episode, her comments about filmmaker Roman Polanski made headlines as well.
"Spike Lee wouldn't have been allowed to chill in France for 30 years if he had raped a child," Jones said.
Since then, Jones has appeared frequently as a host on the entertainment series.
Alongside Lara Spencer, Chris Jacobs and several rotating correspondents, she appeared on the show for the entire month of November and is slated to be featured panelist for all of December as well.
According to Nielsen Media Research, 'The Insider' has seen a huge ratings bump in the top 10 markets since Jones started guest hosting. The show also saw record-breaking leaps in its ratings among women and adults during her tenure.

First of all speaking for myself, I could care less what Tiger Wood's has to say. This cheater is no different from Bill Clinton, Mark Sanford,the Governor of South Carolina and David Letterman and the other countless cheating dogs.
I am sick of their pity parties and how they want to work it out, like when Jessie Jackson had the nerve to stroll up to the White House with his bimbo at his side to councel Bill Cheating Clinton, during the Impeachment hearing. They shouldn't get no air time and their bimbo's shouldn't get paid any money for screwing somebody husband and causing the wife and children pain while all the cheaters go their merry way and keep on cheating.
Our country is in REAL trouble, and these low life dogs don't deserve the time of day from any of us.
Must America's mind live in the GUTTER, that you call this trash worth while news.
And to Dee Dee,{I think this idiot is on The Steve Harvey Show} the one on the radio that said that Tiger's wife was just a Nanny, as if that's a disgrace, like she should be thankful just putting up with his bull crap. Listen, I respect Mrs. Wood, because she is his WIFE and deserve respect along with their children. I am glad that she beat his cheating behind, too bad some of our sister's didn't take a few golf lessons from her.

I am sick of these haters trying to pour more salt in the wound. No woman wants her life put on front street for the world to see. No one has the right to judge Tiger. He was wrong sure but this is a private matter between him and his wife. They can not beat him on the golf course so they are using the media as a means of defeat on him. Everyone has faults and should mind their own business.

THE THING THAT REALLY AND TRULY ERRRKS ME ABOUT THE NEWS AND ALL THE ADULTRY, FORNICATION, HOMOSEXUALITY, KILLINS, MURDERINGS, AND ETC. IS THIS. HERE OUR YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN ARE OVERSEAS FIGHTING FOR THEIR LIVES AS WELL AS THE LIVES OF US WHO ARE HERE ON HOMEFRONT GROUND FOR SO-CALLED FREEDOM, DEMOCRACY, AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS AND ALL THIS DEGRADATION, SIN, ILL REPUTE IS GOING ON. MY QUESTION TO AMERICA IS THIS? WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE OUR TROOPS FIGHTING FOR? FOR US TO HAVE MORE FREEDOM TO DESICRATE THE LAND, TO CONTINUE SPILLING SINCELESS BLOOD ON THE LAND, TO BE EVEN YET MORE TOLERANT OF ILLICIT BEHAVIOR, TO REMAKE LAWS FOR EVERY KIND OF SIN AND DEGRADATION WE CAN DO AND COMMIT? JUST WHAT ARE THEY FIGHTING FOR? PEOPLE WE SHOULD HAVE MORE RESPECT FOR GOD AND OUR LEADERS SHOULD HAVE MORE RESPECT FOR GOD THAN WHAT MAN AND MEN SAY AND DO. WHERE IS THIS ONE NATION UNDER GOD THAT THE U. S. OF AMERICA IS SUPPOSED TO BE LIVING UNDER? AND LAST BUT MOST CERTAINLY NOT LEAST, WHERE ARE YOUR MORALS AND DECENCY AND RESPECT FOR YOURSELVES???????? THIS IS MY QUESTION TO YOU U.S. AMERICANS?

How can we take you serously Trudy when you step to the plate[yelling with all CAPS]with a righteous morality that judges instead of leaving it to the Almighty Judger. Bible zombies are quick to scan the ills of society instead of loving everyone as their Jesus would. Let GOD judge and stop the hypocrisy.
