15+ dead people only a 'blip'

I am sure all the families of the people killed due to the false Newsweek story about the Koran flushing that Michael Isikoff, who penned the fiction says:

"I think this will end up being a blip."

Wow! What a relief to those familes. For a couple weeks they have been burdened by thoughts of how their life has changed, how they must make the best of this and go on without their loved one. How devastating it is. Many Americans have also fretted about the unfair tarnishing of the image of their country. Such a weight off of everyone's shoulders to know that it will soon be a mere 'blip' in the rearview mirror of our lives.

Bastard.
