Hey, it's the Flunkies, and people say you're bad at your jobs.
You here to spy, Jonah?
I'm not here to spy. I work at the White House, so I can just walk in and say,
I'm from the White House, what the **** are you doing?
What? You work at the White House? Oh my God, can I blow you?
Uh, yes you can. I will meet you out in the hallway in a few seconds.
Sure, I'll get a stepladder.
Anyway, I work for the White House, what the **** are you doing?
Trying to figure out what flavor of frozen yogurt the Veep should get.
Mint. It implies freshness, trust, traditional values.
Fascinating.
This is one of my areas.
Yeah.
Food choices, seriously, put it up.
Oh, uh, swirl. Racial harmony, crossing the aisle.
So is cookies and cream.
White House, this is Jonah.
Okay. Watch your head.
Oh, **** you. No, not you, sir.
Very excited about this filibuster reform bill.
That is great to hear.
If you can get a Senate reform bill through the place it's designed to reform, that would be amazing.
Yeah.
I mean, that would be like persuading a guy to fist himself.
Jesus Christ.
Tell me, Mr. Flatterbox, what do you need from me, really?
Well, I need you to keep oil guys off the Clean Jobs Task Force.
Don't do this to me, Andrew.
I'm going to do it to you, yeah.
This is a nuanced area.
You are not in the pocket of oil?
No, I'm not in the pocket of oil, no.
So we can make this work.
I'm eager to be constructive.
Right.
It seems to me that somehow we can make this happen.
Deal.
You keep oil guys off Clean Jobs.
I will sponsor the filibuster bill.
We can work this out.
Great.
Terrific.
Wonderful.
Coffee.
Cup?
Oh, uh-huh.
Sure.
Gare, Senator Doyle's guy looks like he's dying.
If I were you, I would go straight to the pharmacy and take one of everything.
Go to a pharmacy.
I'm going to have a blowout if I walk to the pharmacy.
That's what I'm worried about.
You're going to shit your pants.
I don't want you here.
Hey, I think I did the right thing.
But I just need you to confirm that I did the right thing.
I said something to someone.
What exactly did you say, ma'am, and to who?
To whom?
Senator Doyle said that he would sponsor the bill.
Oh.
If we keep oil off of Clean Jobs.
And there was an implication, perhaps, um, uh...
You didn't say yes.
No.
I didn't say, yes.
I said, yeah.
Okay, well, we told oil we'd put one of their guys on Clean Jobs.
That's why we got away with the Cutler tweet.
I know, I know, I know.
She's aware of that.
Okay, I was charmed by Doyle.
He's got that little twinkle in his eye.
He's talking about fisting people.
He just niced me.
I got nice, all right?
And where were you, Amy, by the way?
Where were you?
No, you said you had it covered.
No, I didn't have it covered.
And it's your job to know that if I say I have it covered,
I don't have it covered, and you cover me.
I need you all to make me have not said that.
I need you to have make me unsaid it.
Okay.
Yeah.
Let's just slow down for a second.
Make two columns, one with filibuster, one with Clean Jobs,
because now they are versus.
Doyle gives us filibuster, so put him there.
Okay, but oil gives us Clean Jobs.
Clean Jobs is your legacy.
Hold on a second, hold on.
What?
What if we put an ex-oil guy on the task force?
You see what I'm saying?
Someone who's cozy with oil, but not active oil.
Former oil.
That's lying.
Creative semantics.
Well, that's a creatively semantic way of saying we're lying.
Still creative.
Oh, hey, Jonah.
Jonah.
That we, yeah, that we, that we, yeah.
