It’s OK, guys. Your new leader will, of course, be invincible in the face of those pesky, evil Democrats — but I do hope that, if the going should happen to get tough, your friendly Republicans will be able to withstand their urge to throw their own under the bus rathen than fend off those silly, frivolous ethics charges.

Heh, indeed.
