After God had finished the rattlesnake, the toad, and the vampire, He had some awful substance left with which He made a scab.

A scab is a two-legged animal with a cork-screw soul, a water-logged brain, and a combination backbone of jelly and glue. Where others have hearts, he carries a tumor of rotten principles.

Judas Iscariot was a gentleman compared to a scab. For betraying his master, Judas had character enough to hang himself. The scab hasn't -- there is nothing lower than a scab.
