    Getting a few tweets that Balloon Boy puked on the Today Show. It doesn't come on for three more hours here.

    The idiot parents were just on CNN. The dad really fumbled the explanation about why Falcon's show statement. His eventual point was that Falcon was talking about how he recreated how climbed up to the attic for the media assembled at the house, but the rambling way he got to that was very suspect.

    The dad also said they raise their boys in an environment of positive reinforcement. They hang the kids' artwork all over the house so that they'll feel good when they see it. They also keep trophies around the house for the same reason. Also, we learned that Bradford is a very talented whistler, Dad is good on harmonica and when Mom plays the guitar, the boys want to play, too. This was part of the Dad's answer to John Roberts' question about the bad language in that YouTube video.

    Are we sure that the dad isn't Andy Kaufman, post-plastic surgery? Can we get him DNA tested?

    The last couple of interviews...

    He keeps going on TV, he is fair game.

    So, the parents have up at 5am to do the east coast morning shows? With all the attention and being up at that hour, ralphing on national TV shouldn't be that much of a surprise.

    I'm sure he pukes when he goes on The View. But, then again, who doesn't?

    BTW, this is a clear thread of the year nominee in my view.....

    The kid's ralphing and the old man can't tear himself away from his barely coherent story. He was a rambling, stupid mess on CNN last night.

    The father was a bumbling idiot.
