1. Which just goes to show that he's 90% more @#$ed in the head than he likes to admit. nt

2. As his breath knocks out the people around him.

3. Another half truth

He functions better MENTALLY than 90%off the population OF THE GRAVEYARD ON THE EAST SIDE OF TOWN. There, that fills in the missing words

5. Ha ha!

Well played.

4. Was he standing in a cemetary when he said that? Context and the local population are everything.

How low can he go? I guess I could have "gone farther" in life had I abandoned all morals, decency and integrity and sold every dingbat idea that some fringe group would buy into and I could have monetized.

6. Population of what? Shithouse rats?

7. Actually, it is the alcoholism talking

Constantly buzzed, tipsy, high, knockered, plastered, drunk...
...the labels matter not!

The alcoholic brain doesn't think clearly and has an exaggerated sense of competence.

11. That's just it

His alcohol-soaked brain thinks it's brilliant, and when it doesn't, hey, have some more scotch - brilliant again!

8. 90% of the population may be quite a hyperbole, but 90% of Republicans? Totally believable!

9. The notion of a "high functioning alcohol dependency" is mostly a myth.

Yes, some people can drink more than others. But it is mostly a function of size/weight. If a person claims not to be an alcoholic because they can "function well" while drinking a lot of alcohol it probably means they are an alcoholic. Denial is one of the symptoms of alcoholism. Besides, Rudy is not high functioning when he is stone cold sober, let alone when he is drunk.

10. I think he means the population of slugwarts.

But then, 90% of slugwarts probably function
better than Rudy.

12. If the claim was better than 40%, it might be due at least some consideration.

That wouldn't require overestimating any of them.

13. I'd latch on to the alcohol story if I was him. If he's not a drunk, then he is a total ass.

[Iggo]

14. The pregnant pause after "functioning" tells the story.

Dude damn near told the truth!

[Kid Berwyn]

15. 38%

Maybe.

16. For an old drunk, he's doing OK. Better than many, probably. Of course, the standard's not high.
