The Jayson Blair Self-Renovation Tour 2004 has now officially worn out its welcome.

Over at Editor & Publisher, Blair says "The strongest statement you can say is that you are sorry for something," which is a total load of crap. Over at Mediabistro, Blair says he's actually preparing to sell a book of fiction. And, best of all, Page Six says that Blair found nasty messages inserted in his books on Barnes & Noble shelves — including the note "Jayson Blair is a cokehead dwarf." Blair, proving that he's so self-obsessed he'll even put himself forward to get slammed by Page Six, reports he's busy spreading the message of the Blair gospel in 12-step meetings. Could someone ballgag the insufferable bastard already? He'll keep pleading with you to love him until the last journalist's tape recorder is turned off.
