    Obama’s ethics czar on this ridiculous display:

    “it creates the appearance that the vice-president of the United States is getting special treatment that’s not available to the average person who wants to utilise that body of water for recreational purposes.”

      “Creates the appearance”? I hope he’s careful he doesn’t burn himself with that hot take. We’re out here drowning and these mfs keep clutching their pearls.

      That will never register with the average person because it isn’t clear and direct enough.

      “The vice president is abusing his power for personal enjoyment.” is the same thing but understandable by the general public.
