47. “I've never wished a man dead,
Sun Sep 2, 2012, 04:13 PM
Sep 2012

but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure.”

I have never agreed more with Clarence Darrow than I do now.

I am glad that poisonous old fraud is no longer sucking oxygen. I hope his sons now start to fight over the spoils and the squabble be massive and public. Having baby brother appointed scammer in chief is not going to sit well with the older ones.

And may the fact that he, too, has to take a dirt nap like everybody else get through to the people he's scammed for decades that he was no better or worse than they are.

Death, at last, is the great equalizer, even for a man who got himself crowned emperor of the universe by Republican Congressmen.
