I was hoping it would be Limbaugh, but there is not a snowball's chance in hell that would ever happen.

His Lardness

That was unnecessarily mean. Unnecessary meanness is a very bad trait.

I would agree, if it was simply a person I just saw walking down the street, but this "fellow" is anything but. He makes his living mocking others for political game, poisoning the course of public discourse and generally behaving like a poor excuse for a human being. Thus he has earned my scorn, which I should then heap upon him when ever I can.

Bullies like him can dish it out, question is, can they take it?

Besides he is a celebrity...thus it appears to be fair game.
