Чисто стилистическая гармония

[garret_lab]

Мои кандидаты (на данный момент -- члены Палаты Представителей) в администрацию негодяев:

- Даррелл Исса
- Марша Блакбёрн
- Джейсон Чаффец

Этот список трудно улучшить, если поставить задачей как можно более надёжно вызывать у меня максимальный по амплитуде рвотный рефлекс.

Хотя конкуренты, конечно, есть -- вспомнить хотя бы Пола ЛеПажа или Сару Пейлин.

Джейсон Чаффец в августе:

SCIUTTO: Let me ask you about Donald Trump. And I know you have said you will support the Republican nominee. Does Donald Trump's refusal to release his own tax returns, which would show his business interests and might raise questions about potential influence on his own campaign of money interests, or if he were to be elected president, does that not raise the same question? Shouldn't he be equally transparent on his business relationships, his investments, et cetera?

CHAFFETZ: If you're going to run and try to become the president of the United States, you're going to have to open up your kimono and show everything, your tax returns, your medical records. You are going to just going to have to do that. It's too important. So, both candidates, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, should show both their medical records and their tax returns, absolutely.

SCIUTTO: Fair point. Let me ask you. In your position as chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, if either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump is elected president, can we expect a series of public investigations and inquiries on these kinds of topics, if either of them is elected?

CHAFFETZ: Hey, the Oversight and Government Reform Committee is going to be the place to win no matter who wins this election. I think Republicans, quite frankly, made a mistake when George W. Bush was president and they helped control the House. It seems, through the metrics, that they actually let off of the gas pedal. No matter who wins, we have a duty, a responsibility under the Constitution to actually be that check and balance. So, I hope to continue to be the chairman of that committee, and I can promise you I don't care who is in the White House. My job is not to be a cheerleader for the president. My job is to hold them accountable and to provide that oversight. That's what we do.

Две недели назад демократический заместитель Чаффеца послал ему письмо о расследовании Трампа и его конфликтов. Письмо осталось без ответа. Вчера все 17 демократических членов комиссии подписали аналогичное письмо

Но, похоже, Чаффец решил изменить своим предвыборным обещаниям и конституционным обязанностям и побыстрее записаться в "cheerleader for the president".

Ну уж в гибкости Чаффеца я никогда не сомневался -- и впредь не буду.
