40 years ago he was a proud and strong politician, a judeo-christian left winger, but someone in control of himself. Since 2008 he's been: Used as a reputation sponge to propel a book writer into super stardom, told to sit down and stand back while the most unlikable harpie vaporizes his party, and then told that he can be handed 4 AM votes only if he promotes brown coochie as his VP and Supreme Court pick. He made deal after deal with the Devil and his exit is coming soon. I wouldn't be surprised if he was told he's scheduled to die as the October Surprise and he's enjoying his last few days before he has to answer to Saint Peter.
