I dunno, Catspaw, CNN and the other modern day yellow pages have spent countless hours talking about him, and I have never heard of him outside of their yak-yak. I don't know anyone who can tell me what he did.
He seems to have been one of those who put on spectacles for mentally challenged infantiles, but having only seen clips on those programs, I dunno (and couldn't care less).

Maybe if we stick with this thread, someone will tell us what all the shouting was about. But I should find better things to do.
