It's all about the money.
A shameless O.J. Simpson admitted in a 2004 videotaped conversation that he'd do or say anything to make a buck.
"If it's something for me to promote, I'd go on Geraldo's show. I don't give a f- - -," the disgraced gridiron great boasts in a documentary interview that has never aired.
"Just as long as you're talkin' about me and helping me make some money - ha ha ha!"
The comments, taped by Florida producer Norman Pardo, come to light as Simpson has penned a book, titled "If I Did It," for which a third party was reportedly paid $3.5 million.
Published by Judith Regan's ReganBooks, the book "hypothetically describes" how the 1994 murders of Simpson's ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman "would have been committed," according to the Fox network.
Pardo, 44, was in a Miami recording studio in March 2004, discussing a music-video project, when Simpson joined them, Pardo told The Post.
After a chatty Simpson arrived and plopped himself on the couch, Pardo flipped on his camera.
Pardo asked Simpson, a frequent target of the shock jock Howard Stern's ridicule, if he would ever appear on Stern's radio show again.
Sure, said Simpson, "if I have something to promote and I can make some money from it."
Later, Simpson said he'd never waste his time "worrying about what these f- - - ing people think.
"I'm as calcified as I can possibly be. I don't give a s- - - what anybody says."
"What is it . . . Katharine Hepburn says? 'Long as you spell my name right . . . there's no such thing as bad ink,' " he says.
Simpson goes on to say that Stern has a fascination with Simpson's manhood -

I don't understand why he's still alive.
Good thinking.
I figure God must be using him for some large lessons for the rest of us. Same with clintons and teddybare.
Because the rest of us aren't murdering dogs. Still, if someone had a short period of time to live (terminal late stage whatever) you'd think they might want to go out a hero and off this walking piece of garbage.
He would be elected, depending on which city he runs in.
If you are concerned that this show will air on your local network affiliate, do as I did and call them and ask for the general manager. When I called my local fox station, the program director said he was all for cancelling it, but the final decision would be made this monday with the general manager. I told him I would organize a protest with local community leaders if they didn't cancel. BTW, Free Republic's hometown station in Fresno has already cancelled the show.
You, oj, "got away with murder" (so far), but you are known to be pure, detested evil. If I were black, I would throw you further below contempt than I have already thrown you for how you have used your race to escape--carelessly, laughingly damaging your race as you did so.
Another point about this "coming clean" thing of his: Herein, he is turning on his "faithful jury." In doing this, he is tossing them to the dogs for being the kangaroos that they were. They perjured themselves for oj, and--with this book--he now scrapes them off of the bottom of his expensive shoes.
Further, as so many of us have stated, he is raping his children with this book. Now that his son is 18, they cannot be taken away from him--an event which would make him "lose." He obviously doesn't care about how this will effect them. He won them from those who loved them: That was his only purpose. (I understood from an interview that their murdered mother's trust money paid for their upbringing, and that oj didn't even have to support them.)
(Yes, I mixed metaphors. :-) It suited me.)
My local affiliate is not airing it - but it's amazing that both the local place and Fox Network make themselves sooo difficult to contact. I wanted TO THANK THEM for not having it on, but it's impossible to contact them.
The Simpson trial was a watershed moment in American culture. The black community in America had an opportunity to step up to the bar of Justice and do the right thing. It would have had an enormous impact/improvement on race relations in this country.But instead, they set the clock back at least 50 years. They have only themselves to blame.
Unfairly, in "They have only themselves to blame," the "themselves" were just a few dirty bullies. The millions of decent blacks were dragged back because of these twelve filthy fools.
IIRC, the overwhelming majority of blacks in this country AGREED with the jury and were happy with his being found not guilty. Now, just like you and I, they knew he killed those 2 people but that didnt matter to them. All they wanted was a little payback, justice be damned.
"...I don't understand why he's still alive...."
Maybe their scope needs to be re-adjusted.
