Sept. 27, 2005 Well, I guess we all misjudged Joran Van der Sloot. He is not a murderer or a rapist after all. He is Holland's answer to Mother Theresa. Look up the phrase, "good samaritan" in a Dutch dictionary and you will see his picture. (Of course, HE would be the one who pasted it in there) This kid is his own public relations machine. He had several weeks to get his story straight and boy, is he churning it out perfectly now. For starters, let's drop the argument that he was "surprised" and, "ambushed" by the Current Affair interviewer. If Joran did not want to talk, he could have kept right on walking. He was ready for his first interview no matter where it was coming from. This guy is street smart and savvy and he can lie with the best of them. He makes OJ look like like a pathological amateur. If President Nixon's first name had been Joran, he would have not only survived Watergate, he would have convinced America that Woodward and Bernstein were communists trying to topple our government. Like I said, the young Van der Sloot is slick. Very smooth. Except for one comment that I think revealed his careful veneer of Mr. Nice Guy who would NEVER harm a young girl.... One statement that tells the whole story on this maniplative little weasel. He said, "I feel horrible that I went out that night without my father knowing. I should have stayed home and this wouldn't have happened to me..." Excuse me while I look for a barf bucket. Who is he KIDDING? I know we should never underestimate the stupidity of the American people, but are we THAT gullible? Joran is upset that he deceived his father? That is like Adolph Hilter trying to explain to the world that his tanks made a wrong turn into Belgium and accidentally destroyed their country. Joran Van der Sloot has his own apartment. He comes and goes as he pleases. He was seen in the casinos on a nightly basis. He has a credit line at several of them. He is well-known among his peers as a thug and a ladies man, especially YOUNGER ladies. For him to try and play Mr. Choir Boy to all of us listening to his every word is laughable. There is a missing girl here. She was probalby sexually assaulted and either died as a result of the alchohol, drugs and trauma or she was murdered. And, Joran is worried about disappointing his DADDY? Now I understand clearly what Shakespeare meant when he said, "You doth protest too much!" When a person goes out of their way to create a grander excuse, then the lie is in the middle of it. It is like one of us coming home as a teenager and announcing to our parents, "I know there is beer on my breath, but I have not been drinking. I don't know how it got there. I honestly don't!" Yeah....you do. Joran is verbally back tracking like crazy these days. First, he said he had consensual sex with Natalee, now he says he didn't. Then, he left her at the Marriott beach, now he says he doesn't even know her name. He even blames HER for taking his hand and making him get into the car with her. In his universe, he was simply..AT THE WRONG PLACE, AT THE WRONG TIME, WITH THE WRONG PEOPLE! Joran's message to Natalee's family? "Get over it Beth! Get a life, Dave! I am an honors student who has a future, it is your daughter who is the one to blame here. Her and my supposed friends who put me in the middle of all this! I am the victim here. I am the one whose future is in jeopard. My only error in judgment or misdeed was not telling dad...". As Natalee Holloway lies lifeless at the bottom of the sea, Joran Van der Sloot continues to change his story and profess his, uh, integrity. So, we are to believe this young man who is so honorable that he had an innocent drink with a sexually promiscuous girl, kissed her a few times out of politeness, tried to carry her safely to her hotel, was rebuffed and gently left her on a beach per her request and went home to apologize to his wonderful father for sneaking out late to please his friends.... What a wonderful boy he is. Wouldn't any parent be proud to have him for a son? It almost brings tears of admiration to my eyes.
