Poles Apart

Seventy-six years ago, a lot of brave men responded to a sneak attack as best they could to save their shipmates and buddies and hold off their attackers; more than 2,000 didn’t make it.

Today, an ugly man whose career began with humor but devolved into bitter smarm, arrogance and attempts to hide his lechery behind self-righteous pomposity talked about what a great guy he was but how he’s forced to quit anyway.

Should have waited a day, Al. Dec. 7 already has enough infamy to go around.

the whole "I'M the real victim here" stance made me want to vomit.

I hope he goes away and never gets media attention again. That will be painful to him - I'm sure he's a narcissist of the first water - but it's what he deserves.

Agreed -- it seems like he used to play the narcissist for laughs -- like the "Al Franken Decade" schtick. Don't know whether he always believed it but knew it sounded funny or if it just seeped into his brain, but somewhere along about book #3 he merited nothing but a "Go 'way. Now."
