So, not only was the "late, great" Hannibal Lecter never described as having died in any of the books or movies, none of the ACTORS who've PORTRAYED him have died, either. Brian Cox, Anthony Perkins, and Mads Mikkelsen are all still among the living.

I hope Jordan Klepper does a video asking Magoos how they feel about DOCTOR Hannibal Lecter and whether he'd be a good candidate for Secretary of Health and Human Services or Surgeon General.

@mcfate The later books describe Dr. Lecter as a child during World War II, though -- old enough to remember his little sister and her fate -- so he'd be at least 85 years old now, old enough for rumors of his death to be plausible.
But he'd be a more useful bogeyman if he might still be alive, so maybe the "late, great" business just something that sounded good at the moment and now TFG is stuck with it.

@ImagineThat

No, it's him having a psychotic fugue. He "saw" Lecter saying, "I love Donald Trump" on television, and that's just hallucinatory.

If he mistakenly calls someone "dead", then he's "stuck with" INSISTING they're dead forever?

That's not what I'd call "sane", EITHER.

@mcfate Irony, pal. He's an idiot, but he understands irony as well as any 11-year-old (which is why he sounds like one when he uses it).

@ImagineThat

Nah, Trump wouldn't understand irony if someone clobbered him in the face with an iron.

He doesn't even understand what SARCASM is, how's he going to understand irony?
