Jan 2014

the prayer scenes were so filled with self importance, hubris and feigned humility, I literally burst out loud laughing. Especially the first one, with the long, drawn out prayer from HRH Queen Ann. I don't how any of them can keep a straight face through that.

I also felt good watching him go on about how they'd invested their own money in his brand, and he ended up branded "the flip-flopping mormon." The look on his face was priceless.

Sorry to revel in their moments of pain and suffering, but really so totally trivial compared to the pain and suffering they've imposed on how many thousands...

I did find myself wondering if Queen Ann has every actually smiled. You know, really smiled. Like with happy eyes versus the frown smile with glaring, hateful eyes? Sad, really. Poor little rich girl.
