Shocked and Stunned and Seriously Consternated

Some little time ago, many of the serious Britons who inhabit the serious professions of sensible journalism and moderate politics were seriously surprised when the National Johnson, after a mere half-century career of loutish priapic mendacity, turned out unexpectedly to be a lying sex-crazed lout despite his elevation to the highest and most solemn office in the land that isn't overtly occupied by Supreme Leader Rupert Murdoch. With similar profundity of insight, several serious Murcans are seriously shocked that the Trumpster and his head-tribble have chosen a far-right loudmouth as their attorney general. At least one serious Republican complained that the appointment had failed to do justice to the seriousness of her bingo card, while the serious wog-bomber John Bolton raised the serious possibility that a "person of moral turpitude" might lack the necessary skills to serve under a known liar and convicted felon. Another serious Republican, who took the matter so seriously that they would only comment anonymously, said that they were "stunned and disgusted;" while a serious Democrat noted that the great American voter, having only the Trumpster's entire previous record to go on, didn't necessarily expect this sort of thing when voting him in again. If only, if only there had been some sort of clue.
