with the weird boots who yells all the time like he cares, even as he uses his position to enrich himself, running not one but two hedge funds in the Cayman Islands, and telling his investors that his POSITION in Congress gave him access to information that enabled him to make better decisions on behalf of his clients.

And it's OK if he marries a frigging former LOBBYIST who was all about selling her "intravenous influenza cure" and wanted to make sure the path was smoothed in that regard.

smh! This whole thread is a damn keeper!
