Beat me to it. If the Swimmer hasn't apologized for Mary Jo, then why does anyone expect him to apologize for anything. He's a Kennedy, for gosh sakes!

Here's more about the Kennedys.

Can't provide a link, but during the past week posted on FR, someone was quoting from the best selling book, "Do As I Say (Not As I Do), Profiles in Liberal Hypocrisy", by Peter Schweizer, that the Kennedy family has five hundred million dollars in Carribean and Fiji banks, (set up in trusts so they pay no taxes.)

"Kennedys own some oil companies themselves: once called Kenn Oil, is now named The Arctic Oil Royalty Trust, despite the name, drilling in five states including Texas and Oklahoma.

"Kenoil and Mokeen Oil. In 1985, Kennedy converted these two companies to Royalty Trusts, thus avoiding paying any corporate taxes, “windfall” or otherwise (see p. 92 of Do As I Say (Not As I Do)).

"The Kennedys also have oil deposits in Louisiana, as well as mineral rights on properties in Alabama, Florida and Mississippi.....

"Much of the land was accumulated by convincing poor rural black farmers to give away their “mineral rights,” not knowing what it meant. The Kennedys set the operation up as a Royalty Trust to avoid paying income and corporate taxes on the profits. Family members including Ted Kennedy, environmentalist Robert Kennedy, Jr., and Joe Kennedy, Jr. receive checks every year."

It would be my guess Caroline and the Missus Schwarzenegger receive tax-free checks also.
