[Claymores]

halfarse bitches 10x more - it's just that he does it an an eloquent and clever way such that he can justify it to himself and the weaker willed that he's "just talking through some of the issues affecting the house"

When he's not talking through things to influence the house, he's plotting next moves with the Three Musketeers.

Halfarse has become a horrible arrogant little man now in a position of power.
