You mean the self-centered, egotistical jerk who might have cost Chris Bell the governorship?

!#$@? him and the horse he rode in on.

Nah, it's not the horse's fault.

I had the non-pleasure of working with that self aggrandizing moron on a film.

If the conversation wasn't about kinky, he would make sure it was.

he is truly a loathsome cartoon character, more so in person.
