No, it's more like a mental mistake or compound poor decision making... Maybe Bill should have a tape breakdown session with the boss...before tasteless and tactless becomes a habit.
FWIW next week marks the first anniversary of Robert's sweetheart's passing...
A mental mistake? I think you are taking it far too seriously. I don't think he did it with the intention of it being put out there. He was just having some stupid fun and someone leaked it. I put it as the equivalent of Brady's waterpark adventure.
