As for this CBC interview, I can only hope that someone emails this passage to the warden of the institution where he expects to get time off for good behaviour:

He did admit to being guilty of hubris, yes.

And considering he denied all the other stuff, that is saying something.

I also seem to remember that his "lordship" wasn't all that natural or earned either. He had to pay for it.
