Wells' newest monologue is posted on UD here:

Somehow Wells manages to mis-quote Meyers.
He writes:
| Quote | | In case you think this is just a dry scientific dispute, Myers also wrote: “Wells is… [an] unctuous rodent who earns the contempt of every man who meets him. |

| Quote | | If you're familiar with Wells and with Deadwood, you know what I mean. You'll just have to imagine that I am Al Swearingen, the brutal bar-owner who uses obscenities as if they were lyric poetry, while Wells is E.B. Farnum, the unctuous rodent who earns the contempt of every man who meets him. |
i.e. "imagine Wells is a well known character who's a real jerk, and I'm a well known character who swears, and you can imagine what I'd say" vs. "Wells is a [...] real jerk".
Nice.
