Michael Vick: “What I did was totally immature and so that means I need to grow up”

By Michelle Malkin • August 27, 2007 11:40 AM

The press conference is live: Apologizes to everyone. “I’m totally responsible.” Rejects pointing fingers and blaming others. “Dogfighting is a terrible thing. Through this situation, I found Jesus. I ask him for forgiveness and turn myself over to God…I offer my deepest apologies to everyone in the world who was affected by this…”

Addresses all the young kids: “Use me as an example to make better judgments and better decisions…I will redeem myself. I have to.”

No questions taken.

Here’s the latest on his guilty plea entered this morning.

Go ahead and weigh in.

Just saw the “apology”. This idiot couldn’t be more FOS if he tried. Who speaks of himself in the third person when he’s trying to appear humble?? Pathetic…

Gimme $50 on the guards since I think they will bring in a ringer to counter Vick while Vick is playing “wife” to a guy named Bubba.

It’s strange how we value brain development in the animal kingdom. If Vick was engaged in cock roach fighting, everybody wouldn’t care less. Kill a human, go see old sparkey; kill a deer, enjoy your venison steaks, kill a dog, go to jail; kill a mesquito, who cares?

I don’t condone dog fighting, but it wouldn’t bother me if all pit bulls were put to sleep. I’m tired of hearing of children and old people that these dogs mutilate on a daily basis.

Maybe we can lighten up on Vick just a little.

Which paragraph are you predicating “Lighten up on Vick a little” on? The first one with your twisted logic about the value of brain development and the likening of slapping a mosquito, and hunting deer to the depraved manner in which Vick killed dogs? Or the second where you claim that you don’t condone dog fighting but don’t like pit bulls so it was ok for Vick to, eh hem, “put them to sleep”.
