Bush Derangement Syndrome

“He doesn’t just blow cocaine up his nose; he snorts it off the tip of a dagger. He likes to kill people when he gets drunk and even disembowels one of his father’s best friends at a party. We see him prowling the streets . . . in his sports car and abducting young girls […]
