Rooney rants; remains amazed that a mere blog could break news.

Wow. I don't know if that's more or less disturbing than her fantasy of busting in the teeth of the wife... even though she's at best second in the blame line.

Yes, there were plenty of people in the media, law enforcement, and in the general public who believed him right up until the end, but there were plenty of others who did not-- such as the DiMaiti family, and a number of police officers who thought things looked suspicious at the start.

I'm a fan of Greater Boston and Beat the Press, but I was pretty amazed when the consensus on last Friday's BTP was that the balloon boy story was definitely not a hoax, referencing the apparent anguish of the parents as evidence, saying basically, that no one could act that well. It was funny at the time, and even funnier in hindsight.
