World's dumbest question at a press conference

I’m sorry; I just can’t let this go. I finished watching the third round of the PGA Championship on CBS, and then flip over to The Golf Channel and caught the end of Tiger’s press conference. One of the final two or three questions from a reporter went something like this:

“Tiger, I realize you have a blue towel draped over your shoulders like a cape and not a red one. Is there any significance to that?”

Pa-lease, must we listen to dribble like that from writers (and I use the term loosely) who actually have a job in journalism? I hope this guy’s boss heard the question and fires him immediately.

When I wear a blue towel around my waist, it means the I am feeling quite Democratic; the red one means Conservative. It's a subtle, little thing I do for my wife. Keeps a spark in our marriage. I'm certain that Tiger and Elin have a similar code structure. Watch to see what color she wears today (if, indeed, she is at Southern Hills.)

Yeah, I too am tired of the butt-kissing that goes on.

A big part of the problem is that many tabloids send some hack scribbler who knows virtually nothing about the game and needs just a couple of quotes to fill in the formula for the story he/she has already written. No thought or creativity involved.

Did you see the look on Tiger's face when he heard the question?

The expression on Tiger's face displayed a wide range of emotions:
shock.
how the hell can anyone ask something so dumb.
how the heck am I going to contain this laughter that is bubbling up inside?
is this what I have to put up with for being the best golfer on the planet?
can someone get me a 2-iron so I can show this idiot what a stinger looks like close up?

Grass is green. What color is grass?
