Jayson Blair gave an exclusive interview to Channel 2 News. He was really lame. When asked why he did it, he started talking about how 'lost in all this is the human tragedy of the situation' and when asked what the human tragedy was, he was stumped. Then went on around in circles blaming drugs, mental illness (oh really? you're crazy?), his unhappy life choices since college where he was told what to do by professors (huh?) and at work. For every instance where it seemed he was saying 'my fault,' he would bring up 5 more excuses.

I hope he doens't make a dime from this.
