New York Daily News today. It actually looks like an AP story: &#8216;Tiger Woods was into threesomes and shelled out more than $60,000 to cat around with high-priced hookers, a Hollywood madam claimed Thursday. &#8216;One of his favorites was Loredana Jolie,\u2019 Michelle Braun told the Daily News, describing the gorgeous blond as a Playboy model from Sicily who\u2019s been living in New York since age 14. &#8216;She\u2019s a stunning girl,\u2019 said Braun,\u2019 who I guess is the madam here. &#8221;He went out with her four or five times. She took part in group sex. They met up in 2006 or early 2007. I\u2019d say he paid $15,000 for her.\u2019 Woods &#8216;had a pretty big appetite for women.\u2019 added Braun, as the world famous athlete\u2019s list of extramarital &#8216;transgressions\u2019 continues to grow.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Well, now, this means that Tiger has now completed a resume requirement for election to high office as a Democrat. You can do this in New York if you want to go the state level, but clearly, I mean this is Clintonesque, and client number nine, Eliot Spitzer, who was the governor of New York. A friend of mine said today, &#8216;Well, if that\u2019s true then this is it. That will be the end of Woods now, if it wasn\u2019t already.\u2019 What\u2019s the difference? What\u2019s the difference? In fact, many of the African-American columnists who have written about this have suggested it would have made more sense to pay for it than go through all this stuff because they generally have more security and privacy. Of course that\u2019s blown up. <\/p>\n<p>Now the next story, a companion to this, is from a British tabloid newspaper. Tiger Woods, they say, is ready to quit golf in a desperate bid to save his shattered marriage. Apparently his wife Elin has given him an ultimatum, &#8216;It\u2019s golf or me.\u2019 And then last night reports in America surfaced that Woods was terrified he might have fathered a love child, some of the women making a point that he didn\u2019t use protection. His yacht\u2019s docked here up in North Palm Beach, the yacht is named Privacy and it\u2019s been spotted, it\u2019s 155-foot yacht, it\u2019s a big thing, and they\u2019ve been spotted loading provisions on the thing, food and they covered up the name of the yacht so people wouldn\u2019t know what it is. So speculation is now that Woods is taking Elin on a Caribbean cruise aboard Privacy but since the word\u2019s out helicopters are going to be flying over them everywhere if they do this. Quit golf? I mean, she would demand he quit golf? Where\u2019s the money going to come from? I don\u2019t know, folks. It doesn\u2019t compute. Some of this stuff just doesn\u2019t compute. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p><BR\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125107.Par.4584.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" class=\"alignright\"\/>RUSH: I ask you the question again: What\u2019s worse, Tiger paying for sex with his money or Democrat Max Baucus, a senator, paying for sex with taxpayer money? Now, it\u2019s rumor about Woods. We just have this New York Daily News story, but for the sake of argument, let\u2019s look at Tiger Woods versus Max Baucus. Let\u2019s say that Tiger spent his money on a woman for his adult needs. Compare that with what the Politico is reporting on Democrat Senator Max Baucus of Montana, the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, the author, in large part, of this debacle of a health care bill in the Senate. Democrat Max Baucus gave a $14,000 pay raise, which is taxpayer money, to his love interest staffer and then took her on a taxpayer-funded trip. Trying to reach a decision here. There are laws against prostitution in some states, but there may not be a law against what Baucus did. Tiger\u2019s married, but so was Baucus. <\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>Here are the details. &#8216;Senator Max Baucus\u2019 &#8212; (Democrat-Montana) who never met a tax increase he didn\u2019t like &#8212; &#8216;chairman of the powerful Senate Finance Committee, gave a nearly $14,000 pay raise to a female staffer 2008, at the time he was becoming romantically involved with her, and later that year took her on a taxpayer-funded trip to Southeast Asia and the Middle East, though foreign policy was not her specialty.\u2019 Well, what a thing to include in the story! &#8216;Late last Friday, Baucus acknowledged his relationship with Melodee Hanes, whom he nominated for the job of US attorney in Montana, after it was first reported on the website MainJustice.com. But he said that Hanes withdrew from consideration for the job when the relationship became more serious. The next day, he dismissed calls for an ethics investigation, saying, &#8216;I went out of my way to be up and up.&#8221; What does that mean &#8212; Viagra? &#8216;Since his announcement, more details of the relationship have emerged, raising questions about a workplace romance between a boss and employee that Baucus tried to keep quiet also contradicting his explanation for why Hanes\u2019 nomination was withdrawn.\u2019 <\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>So my only point about this is, Tiger Woods, private citizen, Tiger Woods can\u2019t raise your taxes, Tiger Woods can\u2019t send your kids off to war, Tiger Woods can\u2019t do anything to you, except affect you positively or negatively, depending on your degree of fandom. Max Baucus can write a health care piece of legislation that can destroy the private sector of this country. He can raise your taxes left and right, he loves doing it, and he can appoint cronies, girlfriends, to jobs in the federal judiciary and then give her a $14,000 raise &#8212; none of it with his money. So if we\u2019re going to get involved in prurient interests of things, going to get sidetracked by that, let\u2019s throw Max Baucus into the loop because he clearly belongs there. In the Baucus case, he\u2019s the prostitute. Baucus is buying and selling favors with our money all the time. <\/line><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Now, Tiger Woods.
