Augusta National chairman lecturing Tiger? Unbelievable hypocrisy

AUGUSTA, Ga. | Who knew God made a high horse low enough for Billy Payne to saddle?

All I know is the authorities better kill it, lest O.J. Simpson or Bernie Madoff mount the nag in a prison break.

On the eve of Tiger Woods’ return to tournament golf, Payne, the chairman of Augusta National Golf Course, used his annual Masters news conference to add his voice to the throng of self-righteous hypocrites blasting Woods for the golfer’s sexual promiscuity.

“Finally,” Payne said Wednesday as he wrapped up his opening comment, “we are not unaware of the significance of this week to a very special player, Tiger Woods. A man who in a brief 13 years clearly and emphatically proclaimed and proved his game to be worthy of the likes of Bobby Jones, Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer. As (Tiger) ascended in our rankings of the world’s great golfers, he became an example to our kids that success is directly attributable to hard work and effort.

“But as he now says himself, he forgot in the process to remember that with fame and fortune comes responsibility, not invisibility. It is not simply the degree of his conduct that is so egregious here; it is the fact that he disappointed all of us, and more importantly, our kids and our grandkids. Our hero did not live up to the expectations of the role model we saw for our children.”

Payne should be immediately drug tested. He’s chairman of a club with a history of exclusionary membership policies that would embarrass even the angriest Tea Party protesters.

1. I wonder what Payne thinks about Tiger cheating with all those white women.

They tend not to hide the racism very well at Augusta; I wouldn't want to be a black member there, unless I really had to network.

2. I wouldn't want to be a member there either

But since I'm a woman I don't have the choice.
