Well if he hasn't been able to get off the bed/sofa, what do you 
expect him to say, Mark. Yeah, he reportedly has been doing what he 
could and taking better care of himself in general, but he can't get 
into playing shape sitting on a sofa no matter what he does there.

I already said he was clearly guilty of something, but so were other 
people and no one else seems to be getting charged or sued or 
anything. Such as the guy who actually pulled the gun. They may be 
the same to you but they aren't being treated that way and you can't 
help but think that the fact that Tony is a richer target for milking 
plays into it.
