Ah! Freudian Slip. You said 'Sezar' instead of Shebaz. I don't need a doctorate to read your mind.
Richard of course issued his usual mumsy- Rosemary Connely- bum words.
It...
A)Makes him look caring and sharing...gaining votes
B)Makes him look like Shebaz is in the wrong...votes diverted from Shebaz.
C)Gives him authority over Shebaz...completeing his silverback role in the house (Leader)
Shebaz is the only one not seeing Richard as boss. Also Shebaz is one of the Brotherhood leaders.
He didn't stand a chance.
Richard should catch sHIVa's disease.
