Six months ago you were in a lather about the guy. You're still in a lather. Seems to me he's fairly irrelevant these days. But here you are, getting all hot and bothered when he makes a fairly pathetic attempt to remain relevant and grab some headlines. The you from six months ago would have been ecstatic. He's pretty much yesterday's news. But not the you of today for some reason -- the amount of personal venom you're still investing in the guy is simply stunning. It took quite a bit of time to format all those little barbs you worked into your little "poll." Do you *really* not have something better to do at this point?

So, just sayin', it doesn't seem that well-balanced.
