Same could be said of politicians. We'll be listening to that clown in the White House for decades to come. Kill me now.

Not really surprising. He's always been kind of a prick.

Gpod thing he managed to keep his mouth shut back in the day. Ike would have shipped him home on the first transport, Ace or not.
