He's like Mathias Rust - ham - 12-25-2008 Quote:George has what I'll call Mike Tyson syndrome. And George... if you don't understand what I mean by that research it.

So he was going to pass the fecal byproduct of his emotionally challenged and probably mentally unstable ego as the gem picked from the brains of 25 nobel prize winners... Here it's how Rust saw himself: Quote:Mathias Rust had dreamt of joining Gorbachev´s political movement by playing an active role on stage to convince e.g. the Soviet youth of the new RE: He's like Mathias Rust - Martin Eisenstadt - 12-25-2008 ham Wrote:He's like Mathias Rust.
