I think I've been rehabilitated for a long, long time. For me it's tremendously important, because, if you haven't noticed, I'm pretty type A, I'm pretty achievement-oriented, I'm goal-oriented. I take complete responsibility for everything that I've ever done in my life, and I don't look at a pardon as a pat on the back, “Oh, good for you for being a good boy”. Pardon, for me, ultimately, is credibility. At the end of the day, I can only speak for myself. I work in a very cut-throat industry, I work in media, I work in communications. You are constantly under a microscope, as you guys know, because I'm putting you under the microscope—well, not me, personally. But it's credibility.
One of the big things, for me, is that I do have peers and I do have colleagues in my industry who are of influence, who look at me and think there has to be some way that he managed to back-door his way into this situation. Nobody in seven years can go from where he was to where he is now without pulling some strings. I fight that fight every day. With a pardon, I'm vindicated. All of the hard work and all of the effort that Taz puts into making himself feel good about himself again, that pardon, that piece of paper, becomes vindication for him.
So it's immense. To answer your question, sir, it's immense.
