Heh.

I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart. I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves. I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect. I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family. Those feelings should be shared by us alone.

I suppose once you’ve blundered into it, it is an extraordinary situation and it’s unreasonable to expect ordinary behavior out of people in extraordinary situations.

But these guys always act like they’re living minute-to-minute and moment-to-moment to convince everyone around them that they’re as honest as a Monday is long — from here-on-out, anyway. The desperation, maybe it’s sincere. I dunno. But they’re always indulging in the same stupid “I’m not perfect” catchphrases. And that headline? Absolutely priceless.

Just seems, to me, like a bad time for one to be doing all his communicating in paint-by-the-numbers cliches.

Privacy for the family…leave my family alone…let us heal during this difficult time…let me and my family deal with this…

It just disgusts me. The whole Officer-Barbrady “move along folks, there’s nothing to see here.” Complete strangers are supposed to observe finer social protocols of decorum and m.y.o.b. Meanwhile, the whole situation exists because he can’t keep his dick in his pants. The idea that he did something that damaged the privacy, among other things, within his family. Somehow, whatever healing and contrition he’s doing, doesn’t allow his noggin to be wrapped around this simple thought even for a second.
