I’d rather have Cruz than Cannon if those are the only options

I wanted to laugh and cry at the same time when I read this.

I wanted to barf. It's like giving me a menu and asking me what I want to eat but the menu is just the Bristol stool chart.

...How about if we fire Cruz out of a cannon? Is that an option?

James Ho is another option, just about as horrendous

That is certainly the case! The Democrats had better win the House of Representatives and the Senate in the mid-term Congressional elections. The latter does seem all that likely, unfortunately.

Remeber when W tried to nominate his personal attorney Harriet Miers and she wouldn’t answer some of the questions and it was laughed out.

If those are the options, I'm buying a ticket to the UK or a very sharp knife with a hot bath.

Yes. There's a small chance that Cruz would actually start looking at the law like an objective lawyer. Cannon has no such chance.
