I'm sure he has a lot to say about the election.

Not so much on the idiots, because the variety of idiots isn't there.

It'd just be the Rest and Relaxation team over and over.

It was one of the most celebrated tombstones in DU history, there was a good reason he was able to make Bob Boudelang so believable because his real personality was not much different than his alter ego's.
