Weh's special parking permit

Heath Haussamen snapped a photograph of Colonel Allen Weh's truck, parked in a red zone, link.

Haussamen reports that though he asked the campaign for a comment, they haven't responded.

How big a deal is it? That's a fair question.

My long held opinion is, if you cannot summon the moral courage and strength to resist minor temptation, why would anyone suppose you had the moral courage and strength to resist temptation when it is large?

More important, his failure to accept responsibility for his misconduct. If he hides from consequences as slight as these are sure to be, isn't it reasonable to expect that he will hide harder when the consequences are greater?

This kind of behavior speaks to Weh's character; there are people, with greater character, who would walk a few hundred feet rather than break the law. There are people who would admit their mistake and accept the consequences.

It reminds me of Gov Bill Richardson speeding down freeways at 110 mph, just because he could.
