Hah, that reminds me of the scene in The Wire when a mayoral candidate asks a popular former mayor why he didn't run again. The guy replies that all he did was eat bowls of shit that various constituents brought him every day. One day, it was the police union, then it was the teachers, then it was the ministers, and on and on. By the time his term was up, he realized he didn't mind just being a downtown corporate lawyer with a nice salary. Some jobs are truly thankless jobs.
