Kevin,

If it isn’t “stupid”, why did he pay them “now”?

Different kind of congestion. I agree that it's nitpicking but the "no longer relevant" has a distinct "I'm above, you, the rules don't apply to me, so leave me alone" ring to it, and is what set me off. Mason has no meters. Cincy does, and it is NOT a good idea to not pay them, or you could very well get pulled out of a classroom and put in the pokey overnight, which could also happen if you are caught on a moving violation. Inquiring minds want to know if a bench warrant was ever issued for Obama, because that does happen around here.... #6, you haven’t been here at 5:30 pm. Different kind of congestion.

It's not anything to really get in front of. Paying them is one thing, but apologizing for them is a waste of time. You guys are just nitpicking. Cambridge cops would not have cuffed people for unpaid tickets. They have better things to do. Tom no knock on Mason, but last time I checked it wasn't as congested as Boston.

Politics 101...if you did something stupid, get the story out yourself and apologize... I think that was among the first lessons taught at the Bill Clinton School of Politics and Lechery...

B - I betcha if he showed up in Cambridge and got cuffed (legally possible), he'd have apologized. It was just so easy and obvious a thing to say (and IMO, it would have helped his cause) -- why not just say it? #3,

Everyone here has tons of them piled up. One of the facts of life in a congested area is that you are sometimes required to break parking regulations because quite honestly, you have no other choice. I wouldn't expect an apology for either the infraction or the late payment. It’s a parking violation. Everyone here has tons of them piled up.

I probably wouldn’t have blogged it except for the immature reax by the campaign. #1, of course it’s not a big deal, but the fact that someone can’t even say “I was wrong, I am sorry” about something as simple as this, that anyone would cut him a break on, but instead puts up the old, tired, campaign defenses, is sad.
