Did you notice that he didn't diss Amber as just an affair that meant nothing to him...no it was a romantic relationship. He even commented on her character. I almost expected him to say something like "Yea you saw her, isn't she great...what a nice girl" Now he either doesn't want to piss her off any further be saying that she meant nothing knowing that she is talking to LE or his feelings for her are very strong, in which case, it would make sense that maybe he wanted a wife and baby out of the way. I am curious, if Lacy knew, wouldn't she have been distraught when she talked to her mother on the 24th? Has an her mother commented on her demeaner on that last day?

Doesn't it seem like the word "inappropriate" when speaking about sex seems to be the p.c. way to refer to affairs lately (Clinton, Condit, now Peterson)?

I thought he almost seemed sheepish using the term
"inappropiate". He knew he got this term from Clinton, Condit and practiced it over and over again. But when it came to actually using the term in public, it felt strange on his lips.
Last night Laci's mother and sister were on Greta. The mom said that her last phone call conversation with Laci was perfectly fine and normal. They talked about Laci and Scott coming to her house for dinner on christmas eve. She said that Laci did not mention to her that Scott was going fishing.

Yep. All the sleazebags are using it. I think that they think it implies something as mild as eating five cookies off the plate when two would have been more polite.

Yes! I agree with you about the current use of the word "inappropriate." I guess that's why when the adults in our house pronounce it, we almost can't help but say it with a little sneer.

"he doesn't want to piss her off any further" In my opinion, you've nailed it exactly.

"wouldn't she have been distraught when she talked to her mother on the 24th?" Very good question. I never heard of her mother saying she sounded distraught, but I DO remember that sometime her sister Amy (the hairdresser) said that when Scott and Laci stopped by her salon on the evening of the 23rd, there was some tension in the air, and Laci shot out the door without waiting for Scott, or something like that.
