The Internet people have gone crazy.DONNA
[sarcastically] You’re kidding.The two of them start to walk together.
JOSH
They’re calling the GAO “General Josh’s Standing Army”, and saying I don’t understand it’s mandate and purpose. They’re saying if I could get a review of anything I want, that I should start by reviewing the job of Deputy C.O.S. Then one guy compares me to a poor man’s Clark Clifford, and a page and a half of posts, debating whether or not I was mocking Egyptians with the Sanskrit reference.They come to a halt.
DONNA
[snappishly] I told you they were hysterical.JOSH
I thought you meant they were funny.DONNA
They’re not.
This is my life.
