...offered only in exchange for immunity from further prosecution. This winter we got to watch A-Rod explain his doping and Michael Phelps explain that bong and various presidential appointees account for their tax returns and Republican Party chair Michael Steele beg Rush Limbaugh's forgiveness for telling the truth.
