Can't even turn on my TV - thankfully since I live where I do my TV intake time is small - but like I give a crap about what the witness's sister's aunt's friend who walked a dog that used to be owned by her friend's uncle that bought a used car from this guy over here who's connected to the case this way thinks about blah blah blah OMG shut the hell up already!

Jesse is into everything (note correct spelling). Here in Chicago he is widely regarded as a huge joke with a big ego and maybe good intentions. You may remember when the little girl fell down a well in Texas. There was Jesse, preening for the cameras. There is a scene in the (sensational) Spike Lee documentary about Hurricane Katrina, "When the Levees Broke." There is Jesse, trailing news media. A voice in the van -- I think it was Spike himself -- says, "He must have heard the camera whirring."
