Here's what Morgan Pressel had to say about everyone's favorite marketing machine Michelle Wie in the latest issue of Sports Illustrated:

"I was shocked that there wasn't more talk of Michelle Wie's final round 82 (at the U.S. Women's Open). I mean, why is that? Or about how when it looked like she was going to make the cut at the John Deere Classic, she played the last four holes in three over par.

"Are the press and other players just trying to be politically correct? I don't believe in being politically correct. Michelle hasn't played a lot of junior golf, so she hasn't learned how to finish tournaments."

Doesn't this sound like the points of a certain
brilliant blogger? It's official. Morgan Pressel is the smartest 17-year-old on the planet.

Now's about the time for all you Wie delusionals to declare that Morgan Pressel was once dumped by a 15-year-old Asian American girl, is secretly in love with Michelle Wie, but really hates all women.

If I was Michelle Wie, I'd be more than a little embarrassed that my average fan appears to have an IQ lower than the 61 Tiger Woods posted last week. At least based on the rantings on these blog message boards. You have a few exceptions in the Wie camp who can actually argue facts, a la Alan. But for the most part, Jessica Simpson volunteered to explain how tuna is the chicken of the sea to you, folks.

To read how Michelle Wie is ducking Morgan Pressel and the rest of her peers at the U.S. Women's Amateur, check out this story. While Pressel plays on in the semifinals, building a winning foundation, Wie sits out to guard her legacy of hype.

I still think Paula Creamer will always be a better golfer than both Wie and Pressel. The 5-foot-5 Pressel does not have the power to dominate in the same manner as the longer hitters.

But there's no doubt Pressel knows more about winning than Wie. And she has the guts to speak her mind knowing it's not the popular point of view. That's a sports figure to cheer.
