Due to the lengthy discussions about the Phelps situation, let's make this one short and sweet!
What's your opinion?
1. Don't give a ****.
2. Phelps is just another kid... kids do stupid things.
3. Phelps should learn from this and speak to kids about drunk driving.
4. Phelps should be prosected to the fullest extent and lose sponsorships.
5. Undecided.

MICHEAL is owning up to it, and claiming sole responsibility. He didn't resist arrest, he didn't offer no comment to the media, and he didn't have some management representative release a skip-around statement.
You do realize, of course, he didn't own up to it until a week later when Matt Druge (spelling?) put it on the web. I don't find it particularly admirable that he drove drunk, waited a few days, got found out by the media, went public and is now a crusader. That, to me, sounds a lot like a PR machine gearing up, not a person who immediately owns up to a wrong.
