English term or phrase: I had had this kind of thing as Governor

On his revelation in the book that during much of his time in office he was "seething inside" at Ken Starr:
I hid it pretty good, didn't I? You didn't know. I mean, he bankrupted us. He ruined us financially.
Let me tell you what I did. I knew that if all of you guys were more interested in Whitewater than anything else, you might not print or air a shot across Starr's bow unless it came from me. However, one of the things I've learned is the difference between being Governor of a small state and being President is, if I had had this kind of thing as Governor, I could have been on it every day like a wet blanket, and been on television every night talking about education, economic development, the environment, whatever I was doing. If you're President, you maybe get 20 seconds on television four nights a week.
