Can't fold this hand? Maniacal LAG and tight-passive player

I can't relaly fold this hand, can I? What makes this hand noteworthy though is that the caller is one of the most passive players I know. He didn't raise QQ earlier, and jsut called it to the river! MrBCAwesome was playing like a LAG maniac. Raising ATo preflop, and hands like Q9s. Raising and betting 2nd pair on the flop and turn, etc. Basically he went from like $300 to $1000, then to $200 in 30 minutes or so.

So, I suspect he could have a Q, but maybe, quite possibly a weak ace. The caller inbetween I didn't like, but since he never raised/bet, I thought he might have an ace, weak kicker, but probably not a draw like KJo? Why was he calling?

So, the only situation I'm ahead here is if both players have Aces. Or if one of them has a draw. I think calling is fine. Both of my opponents here played horribly!
