1. Pathological liar.
2. Placed ambition above all else.
3. Continuous womanizer.
4. Abusive employer.
5. Totally uninterested in the law.

Now that reminds me of another disfunctional person...
what was his name? ... what was his name?

Douglas was not a good judge (I will come back to this point), but this was not because he was a woman-chaser, a heavy drinker, a liar, and so on. It was because he did not like the job. In part he did not like it because he wanted another job badly, a job for which he was indeed better suited.

Right--we'd have been spared his destructive influence if only we'd made him president!! Let him have the nuclear football! Let Douglas be in charge during the Berlin blockade in '48! Let him be the leader of the free world at the outset of the cold war!
