- Robert E. Lee Ewell!
In answer to the clerk's booming voice a little bantam co*k of a man rose and strutted to the stand the back of his neck reddening at the sound of his name. When he turned around to take the path, wwe saw that his face was as red as his neck. We also saw no resemblance to his namesake. A shock of wispy new- washed hair stood up from his forehead; his nose was thin pointed and shine; he had no chin to speak of- it seemed to be a part of his crepey neck.

Ever seen him lately? He is everywhere nowadays. His names are Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, Michelle Bachmann etc. They all have the same face- the face of Robet E. Lee Ewell. The incestuous bastard who attempted to murder two children. That's who we see. And he is going to Washington.
Remember when you met him. He appeared on the pages of the book we all read at school. The book is a classic and there is also a movie. Remember that bum who spit at Atticus Finch? That's our guy, Bob Ewell all- right. He hadn't changed much since. You can see him spitting, drinking bad beer and carrying obscene slogans about the utmost desire to be left alone. Only that is a lie. He does not want to be left alone. Bob Ewell never wanted to be left alone. He wanted the entitlement. He wanted to be taken care of.
