"I think I did something for the worst possible reason

about the most morally indefensible reason that anybody
could have for doing anything. When you do something
just because you could. I've thought about it a lot.
And there are lots of more sophisticated explanations,
more complicated psychological explanations. But none
of them are an excuse. Only a fool does not look to
explain his mistakes." - William Jefferson Clinton

"Yes, I do confess I *did* stoop to enjoy extra-marital
sexual relations in the office with 'that' loose woman

sorry to my beloved Hillary for the embarrassment that
I caused to her, and Chelsea too. I just feel a thoughtless
buffoon. Totally unacceptable. Most inexcusable. On oath,

no no no!! - I'll just be happy to give her a mouthful."

(A civilian to George W. Bush, White House)
Ah, time to compliment you! Well, frankly, I can't stop thinking you are one of the best US presidents! We have had so many leaders go ahead and rule our fair nation unevenly and botch the job. You see, we expect it... From you, however, in years to come, I know we will have far better results.
