He defamed his own legacy when he did NOTHING.

Though sometimes I have a sneaking suspicion he did not do "nothing", but maybe something much worse than said out loud.

Who else thinks his "sudden death" was awfully timely to avoid questioning. Granted he had terminal cancer and he was old, but . . . something about the timing just makes me a tad suspicious, ya know?
