Personal Responsibility Surrenders

So now Pete Rose is whining that people aren't being fair to him:

NEW YORK - Pete Rose is an angry man. He feels he's done his part, confessed that he bet on baseball. But instead of absolution, he keeps hearing more condemnation: His apology came too late, was insincere, upstaged the Hall of Fame and brought him more money.

"Now you're coming clean, and it's not good enough," he said Thursday during a 30-minute interview with The Associated Press. "It's not right. So how can I win? How can I win if people aren't going to be fair with me?"

Hey Pete, you've blamed everybody else for your situation and have refused to accept responsibility for your actions. You've lied and now you want us to believe your latest hustle. How can you expect forgiveness when you've refused to even apologize? All you've done is make excuses for your behavior. Why don't you just go away?
