Not *seriously*, no. He's hasn't fled the country, which is a damn pity.

If he wasn't using this typical Tinfoil Hat *shpiel* of his to gin up his ratings, he'd hardly be memorable. And I'm sure that after one of his more beknighted fans does something stupid (which, sad to say, one probably will), I'm sure he'll be whining *ad nauseum* about being made a scapegoat for it.
