Did you accidentally ingest poison this morning? Well, stop hunting around for the ipecac: Judith Regan has thoughtfully shared her opinion on the whole OJ-interview thing with her Newscorp buddies at the Post and it's the foulest, most sick-making thing we've ever read. REALLY. In it, she defends her decision to profit off of murder and suffering by telling a long sob story about how she, too, was the victim of spousal abuse. So try to follow the twisted logic here: Judith Regan is shoring up her position as an "advocate for women who have been victimized" (uh, except for the ones who've worked for her) by extracting a hedgy, if-I-did-it confession that will be 'duh' news to everyone. Also, If I Did It is a historical document, like Mein Kampf. Well, we're totally buying it! Blechh. Ok, but here's the money quote:

" And what went through my mind surprised me. Mental illness. Thought-process disorder. No empathy. Malignant narcissism.

In the years to come, I hope we will have a better understanding of this type of disordered personality. Are certain people simply born that way? If not, what goes wrong that changes them? How does this happen? And why?"
