The Brits thought they were clever by comparing Liz Truss to a head of lettuce, we now have Republican Leaders who don't last as long as a loaf of bread.

He lasted about a hundredth as long as Scaramucci (for our European audience, that's equivalent to one centiscaramucci).

Planck length Scaramucci I reckon.

He lasted only about 0.004 Truss's

Forget a loaf of bread, he didn't even outlast a tray of cashew chicken put out by a shady Chinese buffet one health code violation away from permanent closure!

This is so many restaurants in Springfield, MO. Our weird local cashew chicken is a travesty.
