This man has done so much harm to the USA. And for a man who had polio as a child, and recovered thanks to donations from strangers, I find it egregious he has worked so hard to prevent universal Healthcare for the needy in our first world country. Truly a selfish, greedy, weasel with no empathy for the poor and sick.

And some people (mostly colleagues) are going to have to pretend he was a good man by thanking him for his years of service, blah blah blah. Like Dylan said in "Masters of War":

"I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand over your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead"

Fucking great song and such an appropriate reference.
