Storyline

Upon graduation from college with a business degree, John Issel is promptly hired by Helmes's company I.N.C. At INC, the one who gets ahead, does it by kissing ass, or over someone else's dead body. John keeps getting promotions, but cant figure out why. Actually management doesn't care about him, they hope that having hired him, his father, Senator Issel, will vote the way they like. Written by Brian W Martz <B.Martz@Genie.com>

Quotes

Bob Nixon: We have a very *nasty* terrorist problem in San Marcos, don't we, Senator?
Sen. Issel: Mm-hmm.
Scott Dantley: If the army had the guns, we just might be able to stop the killing.
Pete Helmes: It's a bitch of a problem, isn't it, Jack?
Jack Issel: Well, actually, I've been reading that it's the *army* that's doing most of the killing.
Bob Nixon: Ha.
Sen. Issel: Jack, the army has been busting its ass to eliminate the murder and the torture and the human rights violations down there.
Scott Dantley: Left-wing terrorists fire-bombed our 26th Mr. Chicken franchise just yesterday.
Pete Helmes: The Marxists are denying the people of Latin America their right to eat Mr. Chicken. And, they're denying Mr. Chicken his human right to franchise and make a profit.
Scott Dantley: Well, I sure as hell don't want some made-in-Moscow Mr. Cabbage Roll shoved down my throat against my will.
