Summary: Town fire librarians. Eleven year old goes to village council meeting to speak about how important the library is to her. Lawyer gets up and makes little girl cry, then gloats about it to a reporter.

Seriously? Did that guy *never* use a library in college or law school? It's like some comic book villain or every stereotype of wealthy, self loathing asshats everywhere. (Even the name! And president of the home owner's association.) Wow. There's a guy who deserves to be dropped off in a Brazilian slum without any shoes. The unfortunate part is that he's probably reveling in the press and the attention.

The inability of people to behave in a civil, reasonable manner in our society makes me crazy.

*reads article*

*picks jaw up off floor*

What a vile and hateful little man.

I like your curse. I shall have to remember it for future use - and I wholeheartedly agree with you.

I know - I spent some time wondering if I was imagining sitting at my computer reading this article. It's like something right out of The Onion!

So many bad people, so few fire ant nests...

Seriously. I would be happy to dip Xinos and his balls in a fire ant mound.

Wow. Makes me glad I don't live there.

And the funny part is, he lives in Chicago, so he probably doesn't know what fire ants are....

What a phenomenal prick. And not in a good way.

As I stated in the LJ thread you linked to, I emailed the link off with a "Worst Person..." nomination to Countdown, and posted it in the "story suggestions" area of The Daily Show's forums.
