Idiot?
Maybe he's a stand up guy that doesn't need to milk the system and go through the pain and embarrassment of a lengthy trial process in order to make someone PROVE he's guilty when he knows he is.
Either he was asked to resign (fired) or he wants to man up and take his lumps.
I feel for him. We all do some pretty dumb things in our lives but most of us never pay the price. You never know. Its not always alcohol. Herman Cain comes to mind!
