re: #20 petesh

I think that’s probably true. He’s always been an asshole, he’s always been greedy, but he used to be a fluent salesman. When he was shooting the shit with Howard Stern, he was capable of complete sentences. Nowadays, it’s gibberish. He can do a set-piece, a speech that links together, in a slightly different order, whole pages that he’s done so often he can memorize them; even then he goes off the rails sometimes, and if you try to parse his off-the-cuff responses, well, you can’t. You can usually piece together some kind of meaning, but it’s scattershot. And it would not surprise me at all if he has selectively edited his memory already. He’s got to go, and I think everyone in DC knows it.

Denentia does run in his family and as much as I hate distant diagnosis a lot of people have said he acts like he has it.
