Wasn't this guy's fifteen minutes of fame up about an hour ago? I wonder who will have the nerve to step into Hackman's shoes.

What have you ever done that was worth a damn besides talking s**t about people you don't know? Mutts like you should stay on the corner and piss on hydrants instead of running your mouths about your betters.
