”This is like that conversation you have with yourself in the shower after an argument.”
”They gave Joe the meds too late and they kicked in the next morning.”
”Everything is much so easier with a teleprompter.”
”The people in the audience are the reason shampoo has instructions.”

Joe may know how to do the job, he might know right from wrong, and he may even know how to tell the truth.

“Sure I’m old. I need help walking. I crap my pants. I can’t remember anything. I do what other people tell me. But hey, I’m the toughest old pedophile you know! Gimme 4 more years. I’m not running things anyway!”
He knows how to screw the country. He knows how to line his pockets.
