In my experience that is a fallacy. Besides he was a politician - they know all about expected response. I don't think anyone here can make a statement like that.
(I know nothing about him, but it was a pretty sick thing to do. He certainly deserved a worse punishment)
- unalone 17y agoHe did. But avoiding punishment for that crime does not immediately make him a terrible human being, or a human being that's incapable of changing. He certainly changed, and for the better. (I'll ignore the "he was a politician" quip, which proves nothing and says nothing.)

Being a politician is a skill just like any job As I said I don't know much about the guy, but in my experience of people in such a position (a public post) there is a difference between real change and the change we see :) I'm just saying: only a few people (i.e. the close family) really could make a statement like that :)
