I feel sorry for all the news companies that launched research for stories on “Who is Tom Emmer?” only to have him drop out of the race for Speaker in four hours.
Conservatives on both sides of the Atlantic are getting effective at creating new measures of time! A Scaramucci (or Mooch) is 11 days. A Liz Truss is 44 days. And now an Emmer is four hours! (“Man, it's only 1 pm? I have a whole Emmer before I can kick off from work!”)
@augieray Heard he was a real Emmer Effer to work with.
