David Letterman gets on the Tiger beat

"Late Show" host David Letterman, who recently revealed that he had sex with staff members in the years leading up to his marriage, unleashed his comic perspective Monday on the allegations that golfer Tiger Woods cheated on his wife.

"If this had only happened three months ago, I'd have material for a year," Letterman quipped during his opening monologue. The show was on hiatus last week when the news about Woods broke.

Feigning discomfort, he also joked that instead of sending troops to Iraq or Afghanistan, President Obama should send troops to Woods' home. He added, "I wish he would stop callng me for advice."

Letterman's "Top 10 Ways Tiger Woods Can Improve his Image" included "Change name 'Tiger' to more adorable 'Puppy.' " The No. 1 way: "Blame Letterman."

The show's band had its own fun with the routine when bandleader Paul Shaffer led them in a rousing rendition of "Hold That Tiger."

Tiger should join Amway, they also screw anything that moves. Amway is a scam, and here's why: Amway wants to pay out as little money as they can get away with, so they support the higher level IBOs ripping off their downline via the tool scam. As a result, about 99% of IBOs operate at a net loss, while the top 1% make several TIMES more from their Amway tool scam than from the Amway products. Read about it on my blog, I suggest you start here: Google "Amway the rest of the story" and forward the information to everyone you know, so they don't get scammed.

Hey there first commenter Tex: Congratulations, man! Way to stay on topic! No matter what the story is about, let's talk about Amway! Very strange, very strange. It was so off-topic, I enjoyed your rant. You're 90% mad-man and 10% truth-teller (because Amway probably is a scam). Preach on, bother man.
