It's funny that everybody on here is happy to agree that pretty much all politicians are w@nkers, yet when they chose another light blue suit for CDS, "it's because he is the best man for the job"

Given the chance, the politician will always choose the CDS that does as he is told.
There is more to the top job thN being a yes man.
