It will be interested to track how much he keeps it up over the coming months and years. It will be especially interesting to see what happens in Fla. - if he's prosecuted. I thought he did a good job of appearing contrite. I never have listened to the guy for the same reasons as you, inconvenient timing, but I happened to be by the computer yesterday. rush was doing a good job talking the addict talk yesterday.
