I found it curious that he wanted to ensure the cameras were off before he made that asinine statement. I think that he knows how horrible he is and that makes me feel sorry for him, in a way--not sympathy or even empathy--but something along the level of the kid who goofs off all semester and then begs for extra credit at the end of the semester.
