...Elin heard Tiger admit he had made "multiple transgressions." The shot cut away, but then Tiger returned, arm in a sling, claiming that he accidentally fell down a flight of stairs and "launched [himself] through a plate-glass window." The audience chuckled. In the Weekend Update segment, Seth Meyers teed Tiger up, noting that his sponsors were sticking with him, "a gesture that only means one thing - women don't watch golf...

Says Scott Allmendinger, editor of Restaurant Business: ''There's a mainstream of the American public that's just tired of being politically correct.'' And another stream that is still capable of getting teed off. ''Hooters is part of a collective backlash against the progress that women have made,'' charges Kim Gandy, executive vice president of the National Organization for Women. To be sure, the p.c. forces are not conceding any ground yet, as Goldberg and Danson found out. So did comedian Jackie Mason...
