The Balloon boy's father just put a BOX out front of his house for reporters' questions!

This controll freak is unbelievable! He actually thinks he can dictate to the press how a news conference will be conducted.

1. He plays them like a fiddle. And you are watching so the media's fiddle works also.

[polichick]

2. Quit the preachin' - everytime anyone watches anything, you could say the same thing. nt

5. And I assume somewhere there is a speech by an obscure democrat that should be aired?

6. I'm at work today and taking a break for lunch - what are you doing that makes you better?

[polichick]

3. Was that the big surprise he was supposed to announce today?? lol

4. Mr. Heene is apparently not an honest person. A woman in Burbank, CA,

was interviewed extensively on KFI last night ant told about how he and his wife scammed this woman out of thousands of dollars in free rent etc and left the rental home they were living in (and supposed to be making repairs to in lieu of rent) completely trashed and badly damaged, back in 2007. He is a Hollywood wannabe and con artist extraordinaire, according to more than a few people.

8. I guess this will be a loooong 15 minutes then! nt

12. NBC Los Angeles did a report about that

7. Here's what I expect him to say at minimum.

"I am sorry to the 911 operator, law enforcement, the FAA, the rescuers, ... the reporters, the news stations, the nation, and everyone who prayed for us.
But, I am especially to my son for asking him to perpetuate a big lie on my behalf, something no adult should ever ask of a child.
Some day when he's older he will realize the gravity of what I asked him to do, and I can only hope that he will find a way to forgive me."

I'm probably about to be disappointed, though.

9. Yep, that was the whole show

Maybe they're in hiding not wanting to get even more busted?

4chan apparently had some pizzas delivered to them last night lol

10. The balloon wasn't the only thing with a slow leak ........

11. Sarah Palin: "Dang! Wish I'd have thought of that!"

13. Did he ever come back outside? n/t
