Well, naturally. That's so obvious, it rather goes without saying. But I think there's something deeper at work here. Off the top of my head, I could mention at least a dozen or so bullying assholes in media and government, in this country and in other parts of the world - especially in the U.S. - who blatantly, manifestly relish acting like schoolyard bullies; there's no shortage of them, sad to say. But while it's one thing to pick on helpless targets, how many of these bastards have specifically gone after people suffering from mental and physical handicaps? Some have, probably (my knowledge here is hardly exhaustive), but I can't name any offhand, and it wouldn't surprise me in the least if Thug is unique in this respect. As with so much else to do with the Fords, there is a real depravity at work here, a genuine element that can only be called freakish.
