Wriggly Rex

Ambitious young aide Ernst Funck thinks working to elect a conservative senator is a dream jobuntil he meets his boss, Wriggly Rex. Rex Wrigley is an alcoholic lecher or a lecherous alcoholic, depending on his company and the time of day. When he holds a drunken press conference to roast his supporters and the press, hopeful Ernst realizes he cant win the election without putting a stop to Rexs destructive behavior.

In the privacy of the Wrigley office, things are no better. The Texas millionaire who funded Rexs campaign wants his money back. One of Ernsts co-workers wants a deeper relationship. Bunny, the office manager, is an equal-opportunity destroyer. Even Porky, Rexs own campaign strategist, makes Ernst a rival. As if Ernst needed another problem, Rexs wife Blanche and girlfriend Angel both work in the office, too.

It seems there is nary a safe corner in which to hide. Ernst wants to win this campaign and show the competitive political world what hes capable of doingbut Rex and his supporting staff are making victory impossible. Rex is quite capable of ruining Ernsts career before it has even begun. Will Ernst pull out a win in spite of Rex? Or will he have to find the embarrassing witness protection program for failed campaign staffers?
