Butch is an intellectual lightweight, a male version of the blonde ski bunny. He married the daughter of the Baron of Boise, divorced her but stayed in good with daddy. He started out in the Libertine Party and never really got the whole free market thing even there.
That is the truth...I've met him a couple of times and he comes across as completely inept...tells funny stories, but that only means he should have been a comedian...wait...maybe he is?
