Says he would have been murdered if it wasn't for some guy named st. Pete. |
Has about the same ring of truth as everything else he says ... in reality, he spent his prison time in a minimum security prison that only houses non-violent offenders, mostly white-collar criminals.
But his audience is primarily stupid people so I guess it doesn't hurt him with his ever-shrinking base to say stupid things. |

Hey man, those embezzling accountants can be a pretty scary bunch. You'd be passed around for a TI calculator.

Good thing Tim was taken in by the politicians-who-have-accepted-bribes gang. Anyone bothers Tim they just gerrymand him to another cell block. |
