Dog pound bound: Vick pleads out

Not elusive enough, apparently

The collective howl you hear is the canine population of America in full-throated triumph: Michael Vick pleads guilty to federal charges in his dogfighting case.

“After consulting with his family over the weekend, Michael Vick has asked that I announce today that he has reached an agreement with federal prosecutors regarding charges pending against him,” Vick attorney Billy Martin said in a statement. “Mr. Vick has agreed to enter a plea of guilty to those charges and to accept full responsibility for his actions and the mistakes he has made. Michael wishes to apologize again to everyone who has been hurt by this matter.”

Of course, not “everyone” hurt by this matter is in a position to accept Vick’s secondhand apology, as the majority of them are (one) dogs and (two) dead. But still, it’s the thought that counts.
