    i don’t doubt that you’re right; i just have a soft spot for him because i see myself in him somewhat.

    life decided to knock him down when fox news kicked him off the air and rebuilt himself with a slightly smarter understanding of the world because of it.

    like i did, but i wasn’t on fox news nor will i ever be a millionaire nor an heir to the swanson family fortune. lol

      i relate with that too as i have a similar background but i’m always careful with it, as that kind of story is usually engineered by these people (or their PR teams) precisely to make them look relatable in a certain way.

        that’s probably true and i guess i need to keep reminding myself that he’s a member of the ruling class and only changed his tune because he stepped out of line with his classes’ solidarity.
