17. Yeah, my memory of him was that he once was obnoxious and pompous. He's better now but I don't know if I trust him.

I like to see him with Capehart who gives him the "look" when he is being even slightly pompous. Capehart won't let him off the hook, ever. I root for Capehart, a gay black man who has learned a lot from life. But I do credit David with at least showing up and enduring the smackdowns by Capehart!
