This idiot. It was 500 rvr when he landed. Survived this time but Darwin is going to catch up with him. Couldn't even talk on the the radio.

It is a Saratoga... really slow, and 500 RVR probably was some good vertical visibility (likely 500 ft or greater) to see lights, which is not that bad. If he did it, good for him. I don't think that is necessarily fate-tempting for a light GA aircraft.
What do you mean couldn't talk on the radio?
