Attention Twitchy readers:
Do you hate your life? Are you addicted to self-punishment and humiliation? Are you skilled at shilling for a complete slimeball?
If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, then -- Whoa, Nellie! -- have I got the job for you!
Last night, in what could be considered the worst timing since Archduke Franz Ferdinand decided to visit Sarajevo on Serbian National Day, the government employment site Daybook listed a new dream job opportunity in Arizona politics.
What's the gig? Press Secretary for Senator Ruben Gallego!
Job Opportunity!

The Office of U.S. Senator Ruben Gallego seeks an experienced, strategic, and dynamic Press Secretary to lead public communications and media relations efforts.https://t.co/9VBZj9velB
Yikes.
I'm pretty sure the position of Supreme Leader of Iran has more longevity and career advancement potential than doing media relations for Eric Swalwell's bestie.
As we all know, Gallego is neck deep in the Swalwell scandal and allegations. Hilariously, when he tried to deny this the other day, he looked more jittery and defensive than Nathan Thurm, the sleazy lawyer once portrayed by Martin Short on SNL.
This dude is guilty of some crazy s*** too based solely on this interview. pic.twitter.com/wGA8FsABTt

Imagine trying to run cover or perform crisis communications for THAT!
Yesterday, our own Doug Powers made another great entertainment analogy for Gallego's body twitches and nervous speech.
Gallego's body language and responses remind me of Tom Smykowski in Office Space when he's being cornered by the Bobs. https://t.co/Up0kfHIEZk pic.twitter.com/d5SfEioonL

Umm, I don't really want to know what kind of 'people skills' Gallego has.
The great Holly Briden also had some issues with the job qualifications required to be Gallego's PR hack.

OK, so that last qualification isn't real, but would anyone be surprised if it were?
Needless to say, being Gallego's press secretary at this moment in time comes with a few risks.

Nevertheless, I'm sure that many qualified people might be interested.
Why not hire the best? pic.twitter.com/qGmZqQrDpI

Or, you know, Gallego could just hire Hasan Piker or Mehdi Hasan, who do that kind of PR for radical Islamist terrorists for free.
Hey it's @RubenGallego. My decade-long best friend just resigned from Congress amid allegations of repeat sexual harassment. I dismissed his victims and currently am on a downward spiral with no end in sight.

Would you like to be my new Press Secretary?https://t.co/TCumlkNAde
No one wants to go to Hell in a handbasket alone. No wonder Gallego wants some company for his impending downhill ride.

What is the 'Final Boss' version of that game? Writing dating profiles for Anthony Weiner?
Why isn’t this flagged as a “temp” position? https://t.co/3AzDxB7PsQ
— Elan (@engele) April 16, 2026
An extremely temporary position. Shorter than Louis XIX of France.
Is this the Babylon bee

I legitimately can’t tell if this is a joke or not.

Many people, including me, thought that it had to be a parody. But it is a real job listing that is still up on the Daybook website. Feel free to click if you have committed mortal sins and want to begin your penance in the harshest way possible.
But since I only want the best for Gallego, I spent last night racking my brain for the one person in America who could have the qualifications needed to be his press secretary, and spend each waking day and night trying to stand in front of him, defending the indefensible.
And then it hit me. The perfect candidate does indeed exist for this job.
You know her. You loathe her. And maybe you even miss her a little bit.

Ka-BOOM!
LOL. Oh, please, please, please, please, PLEASE!
If there is a loving God above, He will make this happen.
Our wonderful Twitchy readers (and writers) deserve nothing less!
