I was able to find this off the cuff "transcript" of what I consider to be a total bastardization (is it OK to use that word here?) of the meaning of "The Scarlet Letter." If you want to suffer through the actual Diane Rehm show on the subject... suit yourself.
Nathaniel Hawthorne, himself having been raised by a single mother, must truly be turning in his grave. The NPR talking heads actually believe that Tiger Woods is the new Hester Prynne?? Or at least that is what they want us to believe.
Not Phoebe Prince mind you. Tiger Woods.
Are they effin' kidding me? Tiger Woods is wearing the Scarlet Letter nowadays?? Which letter is that, exactly? The one that says "I'm rich and famous and I can get away with anything??"
A true case of the perp being made out as victim.
Gag me.
