Duly-elected? As in “elected by James Duly, campaign donor.” /sarcasm

I’m not sure if this comment is a knowing joke or accidentally highly appropriate… Bob Keeshan was in the military during WWII, which ended before he got shipped out, but there’s all these urban legends about how he was a highly decorated war hero that have taken on a highly colorful life of their own…
