What an inconsiderate criminal. I mean, didn't he venture to guess that with all the shark attacks dying down, the Condit horse having been beaten to death, and little else in the line of good dramatic news lately, that the networks could all have used a Midwester bloodbath like the one in Iowa and elsewhere to give a jump to ratings?
