You guys are also forgetting his relentless self-promotion upon the news of John F. Kennedy Jr.’s death. He was everywhere exploiting — at best –– a very modest friendship with Kennedy (I think calling them acquaintances was closer to the reality). I believe it was in the New York Times that he called his departed soul-mate America’s “photogenic redeemer.” I seem to recall that David Plotz at Slate dubbed him the William Ginsburg of the John-John deathopalooza.
