Please switch my vote to Walton Goggins/Boyd Crowder.

It’s chilling, watching and listening to him now. The little hairs that stood on the back of my neck in 2008 are now spasms running down my spine. Watch his mouth, look at his cold lifeless eyes; engaged and cares deeply?? — I can’t for the life of me comprehend how something so obvious to me is interpreted so differently by so many. But I do now understand what my Polish Jewish grandmother and her Austrian friends tried to explain to me 50 years ago, warning me to see it for what it is and not what it seems to be.

He seems to care deeply only to people who’ve been deceived by his sociopathic production, which frankly I think is more transparent today than in ’08. As Holder’s admission earlier this week made clear, Obama is every bit the killer criminal Bush is.

And the way he handled the heckler was more of the same.

They are represented in the brave people of Oklahoma. The images are so awful, the people are so beautiful.

Walton Goggins, in particular, is absolutely brilliant. He brings real depth to a character (Boyd Crowder) who very easily could have degenerated into a stereotype.
