Mrs Brewer quotes from Veep

Ben

It's a matter of public record that Dan Egan was fired because of his relation to the data breach. I mean, you could have Googled that.

Mr. Rakes

That's not my question. Was he responsible?

Ben

Well, Washington needed a sacrifice. So we all ran and got out our pitchforks, and we set fire to the Wicker Dan.

Mrs. Brewer

Okay, so why did he deserve to go if he was innocent?

Ben

You make it sound like there's a correlation between what should happen and what actually happens. I mean, life is chaotic. And it's often unfair. I know it is for me. Dan Egan deserved to go. So, he went.
