WASHINGTON—Calling the obligation “a total pain in the ass,” Sen. Jerry Moran (R-KS) told reporters at the U.S. Capitol this morning that he couldn’t believe he had to come in on a Wednesday. “This is such a load of bullshit. How can they expect me to show up right in the middle of the week like this?” said the senator, adding that he had been forced to alter his usual schedule in order to arrive at work by the “ungodly hour” of 11:30 a.m. “What’s even more annoying is that I had to cancel my plans today. I swear to Christ, if they try to make me come in tomorrow, I’ll just fucking quit.” An indignant Moran later confirmed that he was going home immediately after his normal three-hour lunch.
