Summary

This quote suggests that it is contradictory for a member to identify themselves as a "lame duck" in the realm of political science. In political science 101, the concept and term "lame duck" often refer to a government official or leader who is nearing the end of their term and has limited power or influence. By acknowledging oneself as a "lame duck," the member essentially admits to the lack of authority and diminishes their credibility within the field of politics. This quote implies that this self-identification contradicts the fundamental principles and understanding of political science.

The reason why you know more funny dudes than funny chicks is that dudes are funnier than chicks. If my daughter has a mediocre sense of humor, I'm just gonna tell her, 'Be a staff writer for a sitcom. Because they'll have to hire you, they can't really fire you, and you don't have to produce that much. It'll be awesome.'
