Media apology alert: Jesse James tells Sandra Bullock he's, ahem, sorry
It took Tiger Woods months of foot dragging before he finally got out in front of the cameras and apologized for cheating on his wife. But Jesse James must have a savvier crisis management advisor. Barely 24 hours after the news broke that he'd been unfaithful to Sandra Bullock while she was off shooting "The Blind Side," James has managed to do right by his woman by going straight to the arbiter of all things involving celebrity misbehavior -- People magazine -- and admitting that he's "truly very sorry for the grief" he's caused his wife and kids.
As he said in a statement to People: "There is only one person to blame for this whole situation, and that is me. It's because of my poor judgment that I deserve everything bad that is coming my way. This has caused my wife and kids pain and embarrassment beyond comprehension and I am extremely saddened to have brought this on them.... I hope one day they can find it in their hearts to forgive me."
I guess it's up to Bullock whether she wants to take Jesse back or not, although I've got to think she's gonna extract quite a price, especially after looking like such a sap giving the big tattooed lout such a big emotional thank you at the Oscars, in front of about 800 million TV viewers. But hearing James say that he "deserves everything bad" that comes his way got me to thinking: What sort of punishment does he deserve? How bad should it get?
Should he be forced to watch 100 hours of "Kirstie Alley's Big Life"? Be Charlie Sheen's gofer for a month? Play 72 holes of golf with Charles Barkley? Any suggestions?

I remember when she thanked him at the Golden Globes for having her back. Oh, the irony.

After hearing stories about how Jesse James seems to be a control freak, a hothead, going from being angry one minute to a bawling crybaby at the drop of a hat when he doesn't get his way...I think he needs some counseling AND a heavy dose of lithium for his Bipolar symptoms. DIRTBAG! Sandra ought to know you can't save 'em. Once a bag...always a bag (scum or dirt)
Reminds me of a joke...What is the difference between a west coast chopper and a vacuum cleaner? The dirtbag on the vacuum cleaner is on the back.

the next time one of the mothers of his kids asks for custody, don't give the kid to Sandra Bullock, who just lost interest

He shouldn't get any punishment of that sort. Men like him do not need to get punished by their women.
Instead, Ms Bullock should gather her inner strength and cut him loose.
The biggest punishment for a loser like him will be the way he leads his life and the fact that his children will not look up to him when they're grown up.
I hope Sandra Bullock realizes she misjudged this man's character and made a mistake by marrying him. And I hope she moves on to someone who is not so awkwardly out of her league and leads a happy life.

What the heck was he thinking?
Jesse bro, this girl looks like a tranny. You gave up Sandra for her?
Maybe the dude just needs glasses.

Please, oh, please let me dish out Jesse Jame's "everything bad he's gonna get"!! I live in central Texas and I have just the thing for a wandering husband. Find one ant hill of "fire ants" and piss them off by rubbing your foot around the top of the mound. Then tie ole Jesse down with his netherlands directly on top of the ant hill.........
