Everybody Does It
Why is it that those who are caught in illegal activity use the "everybody-does-it" defense? Consider, for example, this fellow. At first he said he didn't dope, even after he was stripped of his Tour De France victory. Now, he says he wants to come clean and admit he was doping but what do you know? He claims that all of the other riders were doing the same thing. Maybe so. Maybe not. Landis' credibility is in tatters for having taken all sides on the issue of whether he used drugs. It is hard to believe him now. From a PR perspective, anyone who claims that everybody-does-it is a warning to a practitioner who would defend him. That is the scoundrel's excuse.

Hey Jim,
I agree with you here. How can one (PR practitioner here) defend someone, who has spoiled his reputation by speaking both the ways? It would be foolish to do so.
