Quote:
He isn't sure if he'll run as a Democrat, which he has been all his life, Republican or independent. Disgusted with the two leading parties, he said his main goal is to lead the charge for a viable third party.
''The Democrat and Republican parties have failed,'' he said. ''Both are as worthless as tits on a bullfrog.''

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt on that one. With the policeman in the background, it looks like that pic may have been taken as he left prison and those may have been prison clothes.
