MSNBC, 12:20pmET:

“What’s up with all those women?” asked Dr. Nancy Snyderman today on MSNBC, during her discussion about Tiger Woods and the increasing number of names being associated with the billionaire golfer. And she has a theory: sex addiction. And some other theories.

“I’ve been saying all morning long, ‘could this be sex addiction, or is this just bad behavior?’” she asked of her guests during the segment, while the chyron below read: “Is Tiger Woods A Sex Addict?”

Later, Dr. Nancy expanded on her personal theory:

The kid who’s channeled by an overbearing parent, the blinders are always on. Goes to Stanford makes decent grades, drops out. Channel, channel, channel, channel. Daddy dies, lots of fame, lots of money and then you marry the beautfiul swede, and then you’ve got the Madonna/Whore complex. So it’s all just a little too structured, and then boom, an explosion with no social parameters.

Not surprisingly, Dr. Drew has already weighed in on the whole “sex addiction” possibility.

Perez Hilton’s Twitter, about 3 hours ago ET: “If Tiger Woods were smart, he’d announce he’s going to sex rehab right about…. NOW!”

Woods isn’t a sex addict, he is just catching up on what he missed out on all those years before he got the bulging bank account.

I can’t believe she hasn’t been canceled yet.

It’s a good thing Karl Rove isn’t a sex addict. I can only imagine how awful it would be for an addict to whom no fixes were available. Although, it would be a lucrative deal for the Evil Weasel. I’m sure no non-prostitutes would ever agree to have sex with him. And every prostitute he solicited would pay him to drive away without her. He would end up wealthy, albeit with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome….

What on Earth does Karl Rove have to do with this article? Bad idea to blog under the influence.

Not a “sex addict,” but rather a conqueror.

When all (date-by-date) has come out in the wash, It would be clinically interesting to compare his golf victories (and losses) with his bedings of bimbos. Does loss trigger a tryst?

Regardless, chalk it off to his overactive dopaminergic system; or, perhaps exacerbated by and kept-under-wraps, medicated, incipient Alzheimers.
