Blair 'couldn't stop laughing' at Times correction

Washington native Jayson Blair apparently takes pride in destroying the New York Times' credibility.

Newsweek has reported that Blair signed with literary agent David Vigliano to market his story for possible book and movie deals.
Well, this is turning into a local tradition: profit from other people's misfortune. Chief Moose could learn something from this guy, since Blair was directly responsible for the misdeeds that might result in a book or movie deal. Genius.

"I was either going to kill myself or I was going to kill the journalist persona," he said. "So Jayson Blair the human being could live, Jayson Blair the journalist had to die."
Ummm... so you made up stories for months and months? Why not just quit the paper?

Fucking asshole. NYT should sue his ass into the ground until only crumbs are left, and then sue the crumbs.
