29. Hey, John, you didn't realize this job the voters gave you involves a lot of work?

C’mon!!!

That job of yours that comes with a lot of work was evidently something you thought was very much worth having! So much worth having that you campaigned like crazy all over your state and spent tons of money to get it.

Your voters sure thought so. Wonder how many of them STILL think so.

But, that said, I suppose we have to remember that just about ANY Democrat is better than ANY Republican, no matter how wrong-headed, neglectful, or dismissive the Democrat turns out to be.
