VERITAS: FUMBLE - BULLOCK'S HUSBAND'S NON-CONFESSION

This week's perspective from Bob Reid:

Hey, Jesse James: didn’t you learn anything from Tiger? When your philandering hit the tabloids and America’s sweetheart packed her bags, the jig was pretty well up … so why not come clean and admit what is patently obvious to the rest of the world? Sandra Bullock’s husband – you know, the guy she tearfully thanked for “having her back” only a few weeks back when accepting her Oscar – was prompt in issuing a public apology to Sandra and the kids for “poor judgment” that has caused them “pain and embarrassment beyond comprehension.” But that’s all he admitted to. Just as with Tiger Woods, the vacuum has been promptly filled with lurid photos and salacious gossip about the other woman – and just as with Tiger, the big sidebar on the whole thing is James’ non-confession. He doesn’t have to (nor should he) get into the gory details, but at least a passing admission of infidelity – when it’s so painfully obvious – would have at least given the world one less negative aspect of the story to chew on.
