It's honestly kind of hilarious, in a really tragic way

Some of you will remember assholegate from a year ago, to the date.

The asshole's substitute-of-two-weeks was the minister of fisheries, who later stepped down after bringing his job phone with him on a non-political business trip to Iran with the woman for whom he left his wife and who is also twenty years younger than him and taught him that the Iranian regime isn't evil, just misunderstood. I'm not joking, and he's worth noting because even with his two-week stint, that's saying something about what kind of character can make careers in that crowd.

The asshole's official replacement was one of the less colourful big boys in the party, who was sane enough for no-one to really have heard about him.

At least until our public life turned into a crime novel sorely lacking in realism.
