"well I'm sorry to have wasted your time John - I thought it was a better thing to help an elderly vet out" for added effect. Make the clear to the guy he was an absolute dick.
That said, you knew you wern't going to take the job anyways in the 1st 5 seconds you met the guy right? Work for a complete asshat? I've been in a similar situation lately and said - no way does money replace hating your job and life.
I wouldn't go to the media like some have suggested - it's a small world...
