“
If Andy were ever to actually hire a competent deputy, it would put his own unfitness for the job of Sheriff in stark relief. Andy is too lazy to even fix his pant leg when it gets caught in in his boot. He’s too lazy to button his shirt and wear a tie. He’s too lazy to do proper filing and record keeping. And he’s too lazy to apply the law equally. He will drive all the way to Raleigh to humiliate the publisher who failed to pay his fine but does nothing to Rafe Hollister who fires bullets at not just him, but other people with him. He is a stupendously bad lawman who needs Barney to make himself look halfway competent.
