Hey guys, this governor’s gig is awesome. Say whatever I want. Wear whatever I want. Stick it to whomever I want. I haven’t had this much fun since I fired that …

Veritas and Commonsense - Yeah, the very first time I saw Ted Cruz on TV the first thing I thought was “man, he looks just like Tom Ricketts.” Nobody I’ve mentioned it to really agrees though. Thanks for vindicating me!
