I'm with you on this one, Hank...although I haven't had the pleasure of meeting Lens yet
It's interesting how quick people are to assume that they can peg someone based on one characteristic. Maybe Sleazy does have a part of him that's 'asshole' -- who doesn't? But, he has a host of other qualities that make for a fantastic friend. The one thing I've come to most respect about the dude is that all of his parts he wears on his sleeve....genuine....that's something rare to find in people.
