1. Well, they're down to the bottom of the barrel now

I guess they'll just keep leaving the government and new guys will be named, whose main credentials will be loyalty to the Supreme Leader. This ia starting to look like the Woody Allen film, Bananas.

2. Damn. Too bad our administration can't be as responsive.

I have a list of people we'd be much better without.
