These types of less great men, they come and go, come and
go, come and go, time and time and time again.
Rep. Devin Nunes (R) – CA of the 22nd district was waiting
in line in the bakery of his home town of Tulare, California. He had a list of breads and cakes that his
wife Elizabeth had asked him to pick up for the church meeting they would be
hosting after the service. Devin scanned
over the hand written list, 2x loaf white bread, 2x loaf whole wheat bread, 10
kaiser rolls and 1 loaf of pumpernickel bread.
It wasn’t that exstensive of a list but Devin’s mind was elsewhere. As an important representative to the United
States government, Devin had a lot tot hink about nowadays. The woman behind the counter called out the
next number. Devin looked down at the
number he held in his hand. It was the
same number. And just as Devin was about
to raise his hand and say, “that’s me!” some guy behind him in line said it for
him, “that’s me!” and cut in front of Devin.
Now Devin wasn’t one to shy away from a confrontation, oh no, but on
this Sunday morning Devin thought maybe, maybe he would just let this one
go. So Devin just stood there with his
hands by his side waiting for the man who cut in front of him to get his
order. Maybe he’d say something to the
guy as he walked out, yeah maybe he would.
The man
turned from the counter with his packages of breads in his arms. He saw Devin looking at him. The man was not much bigger than Devin. “The man recognized Devin. “Hey Dev, how ya doing?” said the man to
Devin. “Wow, long time no see. I think
that last time I saw you was sometime around high school graduation, man you
ain’t changed a bit. Well maybe a bit of
a paunch around the middle and all.
Shit, remember that time I locked you in the janitors closet, ah ha that
was a hoot! And now your like some sort of politico for the government and
all. Well I’ll be a cooters cousin. Well good to see ya Dev. Keep making America great again, you big
pussy.” The guy said with a wink and shuffled the breads into one arm so he
could slap Devin on the back with his other.
Devin just
stood there and tried to remember who the guy was or had been to him. The memories oozed back into his brain and he
began to sweat. The woman behind the
counter yelled out “OK, whose next?”
Devin just stood there as an elderly lady pushed by him and put her
number ticket in the basket on the counter.
The woman ordered a black and white cookie and a danish.
