(65,616 posts)Tony has the blood of untold thousands on his hands, he personally made sure Dubya would win the 2000 Selection. Why the FUCK he is still sitting there, allowed to be a judge...will always be a mystery to me.
Kidding, it is rhetorical at this point.

Won't that be refreshing!? A liberal court! Zod knows we need one!
