I don't know what sort of bizarre talk radio alternate universe you
got that from, but in actuality Shumer was in love with the guy from
the beginning. They all were, pleasantly surprised with the nomination
and expressing their barely concealed delight with the nominee. He hit
a snag while the hearing was in process, but he's still going to get
confirmed.

'today's US politician?' That seems to be more of a historical fact
that goes back to ancient times.
