I kinda miss his shenanigans as fodder for late night hosts. I realize how toxic he was and I'm glad he's getting justice, but I do miss people making fun of him. I can't believe they treated the first Angolan-American woman to walk on the moon like this.

He functions as a pretty decent microcosm of the Trump era of politics. Hardly a true fact to be found about him. His background, his life, even his name is a cipher. A creature of manifest contradictions. A bullshitter par excellence. I don't know if I'll miss him exactly, but I was briefly entertained by his juvenile antics. Enjoy prison, George, or whatever your actual name is.

Yeah, briefly entertained by his juvenile antics sums it up perfectly.
