An apology like that hurts worse than no apology at all. What kind of apology is it to say you’re sorry after its already done?
Arnold couldn’t even vacate the office of governor with any class.
I can hardly think of a bigger disappointment than Schwarzenegger was.
This guy destroyed any relief from his terrible stint as Gov he might have gotten as the years pass. Everytime Arnie pops his head up, he will have this disgrace hanging over his head.
Couldn’t happen to a better guy.

Apparently, the Miami Herald is incapable of producing a web-page that can be viewed by Microsoft Internet Explorer, so I can’t see the rest of Ahnold’s dissembling.
But the facts remain. He commuted the sentence of the child of a political ally, while others in a similar circumstance are left to their just sentences. There is no apologizing your way out of that. There is no spin that makes it less reprehensible.
Better to just say that he did a favor for a friend or as a political pay-off and that the justice of the matter just did not enter into it. At least that would be honest.
