Don Draper Lines That Were (Wisely) Cut From Season 5 of “Mad Men”

WEINER TAKES ALL DEPT.

Season five of Mad Men has finally come to its conclusion. The show truly brought us back to a simpler time when a man could get by on identity theft, womanizing, and alcoholism alone. But through it all, Don Draper retained his title as the coolest douchebag on television — although it could have gone in a different direction.
