* I’m not sure if “Scott” is Rep. Drury and someone else wrote this tweet or if Scott is the name of the tour guide other than Rep. Drury, or what. But have at it…
We took a break from campaigning in Springfield to take a tour of the Capitol. Thanks, Scott! pic.twitter.com/6qEa5McoYM

“Dear Diary: Success! For the first time in weeks we found someone who would talk to us. Okay, well, he didn’t really talk to us, but when I said I said I was a former federal prosecutor he looked confused and hesitated just long enough for my staffer to get the picture! Another win for truth and justice! Thanks, Scott. You’re welcome, Scott.”
