Which is worse? The call or not apologizing

Here's one to ponder: Is it more appalling that county board member Bob Sabonjian foolishly picked up a phone and called a circuit court judge to complain about a possible plea deal in the child pornography case against former Green Oaks Mayor Tom Adams?

Or that he's still defending his action, apparently not yet grasping the simple-yet-elegant concept that elected officials are way out of line when they try to exert influence over the judiciary's handling of any particular case?
