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

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

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.

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.
