Preemptively defending himself against accusations of, yet again, turning a blind eye to an inconvenient news item, Johnson told reporters, “You guys can mock me for not knowing that. I worked about 22 hours the last few days, and I did not get the briefing on that. I will this morning.”
Poor overworked Mike Johnson. Maybe the House of Representatives has a part-time role he can transition to.
I hear “Former Representative” pays pretty well.
Ok few things…
He talks about working 22 hours over a few days like that’s a lot. I’m betting you and I have worked 24 hours over the last 3 days and none of us are bitching about the time we put in. And we don’t get vacations half the year.
and if you worked less than 3 days and put on this many hours and you’re still this uninformed about things relevant to your job. Then you’re not working, you’re wasting time.
Correct… the standard English interpretation is that a “couple” is 2 and a “few” is 3… 3 days at 8 hours per day should give you 24 hours of work, so he was working less than anyone with a normal full time job…
