What’s wrong with sleeping with a Chinese spy?

@jolly said in Always look for the helpers:

Or has a Chinese spy as a chauffeur.

Or has a Pakistani IT person.

Fine to discriminate against a spy, but it is illegal and immoral to discriminate against a chauffeur or an IT person or a First Lady for his or her country of origin.

Is that a joke?

Even at the time, the guy was held to be a simple chauffeur, IIRC, and his being a spy never amounted to more than speculation.

But hey, speculation is where it's at in this Age of Social! Listen up, idiot children! I have the WHOLE REAL STORY! Not only was he a SPY but, yes, he was also Hilary's HOT LOVER! Because not only was he a chauffeur, but he was BLIND, cuz who'd tap that otherwise, amirite? And not only that, but she had his child! No, wait -- she didn't have A baby, she had eight babies! Four sets of twins! And not only that, but she had them ALL AT ONCE! And not only that, but when they were born, she ATE THEM! Yup, popped 'em on pizzas from that child sex-ring pizza shop she operated in D.C.!

There, that should keep you busy for awhile.

Quip on twitter:

Hispanic person flees Texas for Mexico because of ICE? How is this even news?

[George K]

[jon-nyc]

He’s totally Hispanic.

Funny, you like to say Robert Beto O’Rourke, but you could just as easily say Rafael Ted Cruz.

[George K]

@jon-nyc said in Always look for the helpers:

Rafael Ted Cruz.

Really? Is that his given name? I honestly didn't know.

[jon-nyc]

Well the irony is ironic, right?

The guy with the Hispanic given name takes on an Anglo nickname, and the guy with the Anglo given name takes on the Hispanic nic.

Yeah. According to Wikipedia Cruz began using his sorta-middle name "Ted" at age 13.

O'Rourke was called "Beto" during his infancy by his family. I thought it was something he adopted in college.

[jon-nyc]

What’s his middle name, Eduardo?

Rafael Edward Cruz (/kruːz/; born December 22, 1970) is an American politician...

Heh. I’d like to see his Canadian birth certificate.

I've got it in a drawer with Obama's McCain's.
