      It’s not even “they did it.” It’s “someone did it.” Tiger Woods is not a Democratic political figure. Nor did he fail to properly file the payments. This is not even an apples and oranges comparison. Those are at least both fruits. This is more like an apples to rat comparison. Not both fruits but technically both are edible.
