It feels like the concept of contrition is truly a thing of the past.  Ryan Braun and Anthony Weiner are both being blasted not just for their transgressions, but for the disingenous manner in which they handled their controversies.

After testing positive for steroids last year, Braun challenged the system and eventually won, I believe even going as far as getting a lab technician fired.  He then held his own little press conference gloating and crowing about his image and integrity.  Those comments will probably haunt him worse than his positive test.

Anthony Weiner, it now turns out, continued his sexting escapades even after the big press conference he held admitting his "mistakes".

It is one thing to make a mistake, it is another to express a level of indignance in how others view your mistakes.
