Subtle and so true. Unfortunately the position has been filled with all the qualifications you suggested. Filled with fire-able flunkies. Nice job with a few teeth in it. I'm an Ogden admirer as well. I sometimes find myself writing pieces that may have been originally his. Whoops, unintended thievery.

Ha,ha,ha, this is funny and a bit sad that it's relevant. I would work this job for any amount of money, but there are plenty who will. Another requirement could be the ability to create alternate facts.

Sounds like a politician
Seeking a scapegoat
Promising the one
Mistreatment of all kind

This is the type of ad one would expect to find in Washington D.C. Well written.

Gosh, these job ads have been hilarious, including this one. I think the site should rerun this writing prompt again because there have been some amazing entries, including this one.
Well, unfortunately, I know a few people who meet most of the qualifications for this job. I will tell them to email their resumes to you. I am so glad that this contest triggered your creativity.
Good luck in the contest.
