Does that mean someone taught him to be a self-involved egomaniac?

quite possibly. at least he isn't an anti-semitic wanker, which I guess is progress.

Well exactly. He is famous for screwing too.
You dont teach yourself that.
It takes two.

Graham Parker once said, "If I could smoke from more than one orifice, I certainly would."

ugh. After visiting Bosnia, I've never hated smoking so much! Hooray for non-smoking sections!

I agree Emma, just so long as they are not state imposed.
