“Cry. Just weep for a thousand years. The tears will flow out of me like a long, steady rain. I will climb to the top of the mountain and yell, ‘WHEREFORE MY PRESIDENT?’ I will rend my garments. I will carve his name into my wrists and I will embrace the pain. I will search within my home for any medicine I can take in abundance that will finally absolve me of my guilty life. I will blame myself for allowing the president, MY president, to suffer untold horrors at the long arm of our sick and twisted law. I will never recover.”

“Okay, just to explain this for all the shitheads out there one more time: Just because I was in the Republican party doesn’t mean I’m conservative. It is a very different party today than it was when I was alive, and you wouldn’t think you have to keep repeating that to these fuckers, but guess what, you do! I mean, sure, if I were alive now, I’d probably be considered pretty conservative by today’s standards, but times change. Anyway, I’ll probably remain dead.”
