The best thing about this President is that he seems to have some kind of weirdly-wired circuit in his brain, though, that re-routes energy from the "appropriate Rage" part of his head to the "I can use this to my political advantage, WITHOUT appearing to get pissed over it" part of his cognitive mind. Its a rather useful apparatus to have at times, as it seems to make him BETTER at his job, where the rest of us would be so angry we couldn't think straight.

Fuck Wayne. He's lucky there aren't any Teddy Roosevelts left in that party. He'd be in the "hospital" with the political equivalent of a major concussion.
