it weren't so tragic:
Clown car arrived in D.C. minus Sir Pence, chief of transition team, who had decided to continue his governor's duties until Jan. 9. Occupants didn't show up for one scheduled meeting. Wouldn't return calls from Pentagon. No one able to reach them for a period of time.
Encouraging, wouldn't you say? From the film, Sometimes a Great Notion: "Lordy, Lordy."
