| Letters: Golfweek editor deserved his fate
In last Sunday's Incites column ("Cowboys' Garrett an heir apparent," Jan. 20), Don McKee wrote the following regarding the Tiger Woods/lynching flap: "The second reaction is this: the commentator who actually made the outrageous comment, Kelly Tilghman, was suspended for two weeks. The journalist who tried, no matter how ineptly, to discuss the hottest issue in his sport was fired. Am I the only one who thinks this is a grotesque double standard?" McKee may be the only one. It is not a "grotesque double standard." The "journalist" McKee referred to was an editor, and editors should be held to a higher standard. On top of that, Golfweek editor Dave Seanor's choice was not a spur-of-the-moment, off-the-cuff remark like the reporter's comment. Seanor had time to consider his choice, and, presumably in order to stir things up and get some big press for his publication, he made a horrendous choice by putting a noose on the cover of Golfweek.

Jamie Lynn Spears
Lynne Spears' book may not be completely doomed and it even has a title: Pop Culture Mom: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World. But first her publisher Thomas Nelson released the following statement letting people know Lynne is not writing a parenting “how-to" book: “From the onset, the media have inaccurately reported that Lynne Spears' book is a parenting book. I'm sure this helps fuel tabloid readership, but it is simply not true," said Michael S. Hyatt, president and CEO of Thomas Nelson. “Lynne's memoir will provide a window into the real-life world of fame and worldly success, including the toll it extracts from some who aspire to it. It will provide a much-needed corrective to a world obsessed with the wrong priorities."
Hyatt continued, “We believe in redemption.
