GODDAMN IT PEOPLE.

I don't care what a person has done, I don't care what a person has failed to do. I don't care if a person has a stance on things, I don't care if a person refuses to take sides.

You don't interrupt a man eating his GODDAMN COOKIE. 

[Alex Levenko]

Some say he is still eating his cookie to this day.

Press conference can wait, cookie cannot.

He was smug in his answering but he was also ambushed. Laura Tupper bugged and bugged him and he should have said I will answer your question on Monday.

The savior of AHS is now back in Australia. He transformed Australian health care and failed miserably so maybe there is a culture of sheer arrogance at the top.
