A Tale of Two Rachels

Interesting fact about Rachel Uchitel, the first woman publicly linked to Tiger Woods in the ongoing scandal involving the golfer. She lost her fiance in the 9/11 attacks, and her picture appeared in the New York Post. Uchitel was holding one of those "missing" flyers that blanketed the city in the days and weeks after the attacks. Her fiance, Andy O'Grady, worked in the south tower and didn't make it out.

Joy Behar, a personality on the morning television program The View, drew the ire of Ms. Uchitel and her attorney, when she called Uchitel a "hooker" on the air. Behar delivered the slur by way of a clever play on the name "Uchitel". By sounding out her name, Behar said the following: "You could tell she's a hooker". Rather tame stuff actually, but Gloria Allred (the attorney) demanded, and got, an apology from The View.

Below are two pictures of Rachel Uchitel, one taken shortly after the 9/11 attacks, and the other one of more recent vintage...
