    This is creepy?

    This is the man who wears the permanent sinister half-smirk. Who shot a good friend, the one who ended up apologizing for it. Who didn't bother to tell his boss about it for a couple days. Whose own daughter could not quit his re-election campaign despite not only his political posture but his personally-held belief that "her kind" only deserves to exist as a lesser member of society. Who disappears for weeks on end to God knows where for purposes wtf. Whose ticker refuses to quit despite every reason it should have years ago. I wouldn't be surprised if he's also using the penknife to cut up the afterbirth from albino 10-toed bat fetuses, spearing then salting every piece before popping them in his mouth.
