A National Pity Party for Pete Rose
Everybody all together now, Awwwwww, poor Pete Rose, he's come clean and people won't drop the whole I've-been-lying-to-everyone-for-almost-15-years thing. He also had the continued poor taste to try and steal the spotlight from Dennis Eckersley and Paul Molitor's first ballot admission to the Hall of Fame. Oh yeah, and the fact that he's only come clean for financial gain and not out of any desire to clear his name. Poor Pete Rose, I feel about as bad for him as I feel for the asshole who murdered much of his in-laws, kidnapped his kids and then shot himself when he knew he was going to get caught. Or maybe I feel as bad as I do about poor Jacko getting booked for molesting another kid and having to be subjected to the indignity of a police body search. You poor deluded asshole.

Rose Craves Unconditional Forgiveness

Every interview I see with Pete Rose, I'm struck by what kind of a completely self absorbed prick he comes off as. I don't think he has had a shred of empathy for anyone or anything else in his entire life. He's not contrite, he's aggressive, he's not trying to repent, he's trying to cash in and sell his stupid book and get Hall of Fame fluff money. He's not doing any of this for anyone but himself, as evinced by his timing.

Pete Rose deserves nothing more anymore than to be forgotten, to be ignored by the media and the public.

And then there's that friggin' haircut......
