Sure, but would deleting it really save face for him? Not at all.

No it wouldn't save any face at all. That's not why I think he should delete it. He should delete if because it's false and just seriously jeopardized his career and credibility.

If a public figure gets arrested and it becomes public knowledge, does that person walk around with that arrest record taped to his/her back? Hell no. Everyone already knows about it. Do your best to put it behind you and move on.

In the twitter world it's already dead as a submission, the only time that it will be seen is the reports linking to it. I was actually surprised to see it still up once I heard about it though.

I think that he's doing his best to put it behind him
