I've often remarked that the hypocrisy that comes from down that corner of the chamber is almost in infinite supply. It's such a shame we couldn't capture the Greens' hypocrisy, or have some technology to capture it and convert it into electricity, because we would never have a blackout again. There is an infinite supply of hypocrisy that comes from down that end of the chamber, exceeded only by their moral superiority. They are our betters, of course. They are the moral guardians of the universe, according to them—just ask them—and everybody else is terrible. Everybody else is corrupt. Everybody else is in hock to some dark-money friends. I'll get to the receipts.
