Herman- you are Billy Ray Valentine

[wilt the stilt]

You didn't really think Mortimer and Randolph would let you run the company or get the nomination. How do you like the republican party now? No way it was democrats who did this.

1. YES!

Randy! My man!

Only it won't turn out so well for "Herb", will it?

[GoCubsGo]

7. Sure, it will.

"Herb" has been a motivational speaker for the past decade. This will only serve to quadruple his speaking fees, at least. He'll make out like the bandit that he is. I think Thom Hartmann is correct--he's only in it to boost his speaking fees. Ditto for Newt.

2. Yes

Randolph Duke: We took a perfectly useless psychopath like Valentine, and turned him into a successful executive!...

Randolph Duke: Now, what are we going to do about returning Valentine to the ghetto?

[no_hypocrisy]

3. Yes

4. Billy Ray Valentine had a conscience

as opposed to Mr. Cain.

He was arguably competent, as well. Yet another difference.

5. "Heh, heh." - Billy Ray

6. This thread is getting a hugh # of unrecs

because the sting of the truth is sharp.

Some cannot bear it.

9. how do you see that?

[SpiralHawk]

10. Notice the large number of viewers

and the feeble number of recs - also, when I rec'd it long ago it just brought the total to 0.

There's a pattern when truth emerges powerfully, as in your OP

8. Remember, though...

Billy Ray Valentine, with help from his equally embattled friends, ended up beating the Dukes at their own game.
