The Tattle Tales

Michelle Wie was disqualified from winning 56K in her first professional LPGA tournament. It doesn't make me too sad, since she is reaping the wind of 10 million in endorsements. Why was she disqualified? Because someone, a reporter, "snitched" on her. He ran to the officials and said she moved her ball three inches closer than it should have been. She was ssooooooooooo wicked.
Yep, evil incarnate.

Why is it that a 16 year old girl, who admitted she made a 3 inch mistake should be punished when people who put others lives in danger are still working with inpunity? Don't know any other golfers who've made errors. Or anyone else, nope no one has ever done anything that would endanger others. Take say, Robert Novak, until his little temper tantrum on national TV, was happily invoking his first amendement rights after ratting out Valerie Plame. Or Time magazine, making their reporter tell the name of his source for an article NEVER written.

We have become a nation of tattle tales. We don't know about you, but when we were little, we were taught that tattling was wrong, that people make mistakes and should own up to them, as did Michelle Wie and do better. We were also taught you never outed a spy and that your country cared for ALL its citizens , even when they were opposed to your party. Guess the rules changed.
