Eugene Robinson's Problem With Tiger Wood's Adultery: A Lack Of Deversity.

I love Eugene Robinson, but his column this morning is Tiger Woods' marital Scandals conservative plays like a stereo type of liberal thinking:

If adultery is really about the power and satisfaction of conquest, Woods's self-esteem was apparently only boosted by bedding the kind of woman they thought other men lusted after - the "Playmate of the Month" type that Hugh Hefner turned into the American Gold Standard .

But the world is full of beautiful women of all colors, shapes and sizes - some with short hair or almond eyes, some with broad Noses, some with yellow or brown skin. Woods appears To Have bought into an "official" standard of beauty that is so conventional as to be almost oppressive.

So the problem with Tiger Woods bedding a lot of young women is that they're not diverse enough?

We're at that point in the Woods scandal where the news is so pervasive that a lot of smart people feel like they've got to weigh in or be left behind in the cultural conversation - it would be like trying to pretend Monica Lewinsky didn 't exist in 1998. But there's a danger for those smart people in that trying to say something smart about something very silly, they'll just end up looking silly themselves. I'm not sure Robinson gets all the way there, but he comes close.
