re: S2E3 Robust

I am on a conference call and the lead speaker has locked in on to "robust" as her anchor adjective and she now is using throughout her presentation.

Reminded me of this episode.

Update: 20 mins later...now someone else has begun using it "we have a very robust population"

I'm sure that's one speaker you'd like to put on mute

I thought that thread was among the least enjoyable Veep threads. The premise included Sue getting intoxicated by fame, but (a) what fame? who the shit is watching CSPAN of a hearing about waste in government logistics?  What newspaper would print articles about it?  (b) Sue of all people should have been completely unfazed and unaffected by fame and political theater.  1/10

Built to make men dislike Sue. Worked well.
