    Larry is a dick. And a coward. What did you expect.
    The guy doesn't know how to read. He doesn't understand the first amendment, (public financing indeed) and the second, he endorsed Obama for President.

    Coward is a nice way of putting it. The man can't handle the heat.

    Good for him. Gainful, productive employment beats working in the government anyday.
