I would love to hear what Maureen Does would have to say about Cruz. I loved her moniker of Shrub for George W. Does anyone remember the journalist Robert Kelly? I believe that was his name.
I think it was Molly Ivins who first called W shrub, way back in the early 90s when he became governor of Texas. She died in 2007 but if she's doing an op-ed piece for Saint Peter's monthly magazine I'd imagine she has much to say of The Donald.
Some Molly Ivins quotes:
"There are two kinds of humor. One kind that makes us chuckle about our foibles and our shared humanity -- like what Garrison Keillor does. The other kind holds people up to public contempt and ridicule -- that's what I do. Satire is traditionally the weapon of the powerless against the powerful."
"The first rule of holes: when you're in one, stop digging."
"What you need is sustained outrage...there's far too much unthinking respect given to authority."
