Balloon Boy Dad Richard Heene Knew What He Was Doing

Per what we’ve read in the media about the “balloon boy,” dad Richard Heene thought that if he staged that hoax he’d, 1) get media attention for he and/or his family or, ideally, 2) sign a contract for a syndicated television show. We haven’t heard anything about a syndicated show yet but as for attention from the media? Bingo:
TVNewser has learned the Heene family is in New York taking meetings and taping an interview with ABC. Last night, producers took the family to dinner. TMZ caught up with the Heenes outside Ocean Grill, not far from ABC News headquarters, but they weren’t talking.
ABC picked up the tab and had an SUV take the family back to their hotel.
Heene was right.
