"You caught me."

Just once, wouldn't you like to hear that as the first comment from a figure accused of some wrongdoing? But it never happens. Wouldn't it be refreshing to hear things like:

"I needed to write a book quickly, so when I got bogged down I copied passages from other books. I thought if I mixed up the sources enough, no one would ever find out."

"As the CEO, I knew all about the off-balance-sheet partnerships, which we set up to conceal our losses. I figured we'd get away with it."

"Yes, I used those performance-enhancing drugs and several others you haven't found out about yet."

"I naturally assumed that I could do as I liked with my intern in my Oval Office and my small butler's pantry."

" . . . and that was the first and last time I ever met Ron Goldman."
