This has to be the epitome of insensitivity, but I'm not fooling myself; another Republican will soon come along to top this.

This f#cktard will be the biggest loser in a decade. I'll sell my soul to the devil to make sure it happens. On the down-side, the bet hope isn't much more that Repub-lite.
