I missed big chunks of it, but I sure loved that rant on the climate deniers.

I also loooooved the "Rhymes with Bucket List"!!! I told you all he's been set free by being a so-called lame-duck president.

Thanks for the link -- I will be watching it tomorrow.

“I can’t wait to see who the Koch brothers pick.  It’s exciting. Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Jeb Bush, Scott Walker, who will finally get that red rose?”

“Ted Cruz said that denying the existence of climate change made him like Galileo. Now that’s not really an apt comparison. Galileo believed the Earth revolves around the sun. Ted Cruz believes the Earth revolves around Ted Cruz… when a guy who has his face on a ‘HOPE’ poster calls you self-centered, you’ve got a problem.”


He mentioned narcissicism with Cruz, too. And from Luther:



And from Luther:

“HOLD ON TO YOUR LILY WHITE BUTTS.”

More from Luther:

“AND WE CAN COUNT ON FOX NEWS TO TERRIFY OLD WHITE PEOPLE WITH SOME NONSENSE!”

He is highly intelligent, insightful, funny, and could say some really honest truthful things having been President. Alas, somehow I think he would never do that. At this point, as they say, "he knows too much".
