Dick and Claire are in the same family.
“Vote nay”, says Dick. “Vote nay so that we can try to stop Brett Kavanaugh from becoming a Supreme Court Justice.”
Claire says “But, Dick, the latest polls show my Republican opponent, Josh Hawley, pulling ahead of me in my re-election campaign. And they show President Trump with a positive overall rating. So if I vote nay it might cause me to lose”.
“I don’t care”, says Dick, angrily. I want you to vote nay. If you lose your re-election campaign it will be for a good cause”.
“Would you do that if you were in my situation?” said Claire, challengingly?
“Why of course”, said Dick, with a sly grin.
“Dick, I think you are very well named”, said Claire. And full of something I like to get rid of after meals.”
“Oh, nerts” said Dick dejectedly. “But maybe this will work for Joe Manchin, or Heidi Heitkamp, or Joe Donnelly”.
The end.
