Denial seems to be how he's managing to keep from hanging himself. Somewhere in his shrivelled soul, there's a burden of guilt that he simply will never allow himself to feel.

he has any aptitude for feeling anything like remorse, guilt... he's a psycho-sociopath, he is incapable of anything close to feeling guilt, remorse or a sense that he has done anything wrong. No capacity for it whatsoever, never has, never will. What keeps him going now is, well, someone else's heart for starters and the hard-on he maintains at having done all the evil he has done to humanity and so far, gotten away with it with no consequence in sight. He certainly does not care what anyone thinks of him. But he's still a publicity whore.

as in * war criminal. asshole.
