He’s up there with George Wallace, in the too evil to forgive pantheon.
Why do evil old men live so long?

Peej says:
They live so long because they have absolutely no conscience and so never deal with any emotions like guilt or worry or self-doubt and sleep the sleep of the blameless (in their minds).
(I’m sort of paraphrasing an old Persian saying, but I’ve no doubt it’s true. )
