He's a combination of two Disney characters: Gaston from "Beauty and the Beast" and Kronk from "The Emperor's New Groove."

Big, dumb, self absorbed, greedy, narcissistic and selfish--but he's successful and gets away with being a sociopath because he looks like an anchorman.

Kronk:

I point out to people the following about liberals.

1. Liberals (our Founding Fathers) supported the American Revolution. The Conservatives were Royalists and supported Great Britain and the monarchy.

2. Jesus Christ and his followers were the Liberals. The Conservatives were the Roman and the Jewish Sanhedrin who condemned him.

3. In "A Wonderful Life', Jimmy Stewart was the Liberal and Mr. Potter was the Conservative.

Which side do you want to be on?
