Einstein was a nitwit, a plagiarist, and a liar.  His opinion lies in
where the current wind blows that is a trait typical of a nitwit, a
plagiarist, and a liar.  <shrug>

Yes, wishy washy type.  <shrug>

Einstein the nitwit, the plagiarist, and the liar showed very clearly
why he was indeed a nitwit, a plagiarist, and a liar.  <shrug>

Mr. Stachel’s job depends on the worship of Einstein the nitwit, the
plagiarist, and the liar.  Under this economical condition, I am not
surprised that he would continue to spread the lies about Einstein.

Who really gives a fvck about what Einstein the nitwit, the
plagiarist, and the liar thinks?

Mr. Stachel is very out of touch with reality.  The side effects of
worshipping Einstein the nitwit, the plagiarist, and the liar really
are taking a toll on Mr. Stachel.  <shrug>
