This is the guy who slacked off in all your college classes and then claimed he did all the work on the one group project that he never showed up for.

He has announced plans to run for state-wide political office in Massachusetts. We are probably going to hear plenty more about him.

well, no, that metaphor doesn't apply well at all.
