they called it exodus for a reason. i don t even know where i am at this point. he is not right in the head. not right in the head. he knew this was coming up and he ran for mayor. he thought this was bulletproof. you know who he reminds me of? the last scene of fargo when they are arresting the main guy and they are crawling out the window. that s him. he always has the look of i am almost caught, but you haven t got me yet. he should have stopped after he left congress. why are you still doing it? that s the question. he continued to do this. after the contrite stuff and going to therapy, that s the thing that is amazing. doesn t he live in a $3 million apartment? how does he afford that? he makes like a half million or $400,000 last year and his wife makes about $200, i guess. there is money coming from somewhere. that would be interesting. unless he is getting low rent for some reason.
