Nonsense! He has never had more professional opportunities than he has now. Zumbo can easily work this gig into tens of millions of dollars in speaking fees, consecutive NYT best seller lists, and invites to all the best parties in liberaldom.

First off, there is no doubt that Zumbo stepped on his d**k big time. I've seen a lot of posts suggesting the same thing as yours, and you're right- if Zumbo wants, this avenue is open to him. I guess we'll see in the near future how sincere his apology was, i.e either he fades away quietly in admittance that he screwed the pooch or he becomes a spokesman for the left.
