Selina Meyer, former president of the US, doesn’t wait for an answer before popping a flower into her mouth. The infantilization of politicians is a running joke through Veep, a show that single-mindedly reminds us that incompetence never gets in the way of politics. A woman in a male world, Meyer uses profanity as a tool, a key scratching the patriarchal car. On Veep’s savage final season, that “early draft of man" might well become president of the US, leading a campaign against mathematics itself. In season 7, Veep has its snap back.
