Unlike all those terrible fathers who are huddling with their kids for warmth (so they charged him $25 to check his douchebag)

February 2021

On Saturday, Ted Cruz posted photos of himself handing out bottled water with the hashtag ‘Texas strong.’

“In the wake of Texas’s energy crisis in which record freezing temperatures felled the state’s unprepared, unregulated power grid, stranding millions without electricity, heat or water for days. And you know what they say: when the going gets tough, Ted Cruz gets gone.” —Stephen Colbert

“Facing intense criticism for the trip, Cruz immediately swallowed his pride, pulled himself up by his own bootstraps and threw his daughters under a bus, with a statement in which he blamed the vacation on his two daughters who ‘asked to take a trip with their friends’, and ‘wanting to be a good dad’. See, he was just being a good dad! Unlike all those terrible fathers who are huddling with their kids for warmth.” —Stephen Colbert

“Ted Cruz attempted to staunch the PR nightmare by returning a day later, which he claimed was always the plan. But according to a United Airlines leak, Cruz was initially booked to return home days later. Oh, that’s embarrassing. Plus he was in coach, so they charged him $25 to check his douchebag.” —Stephen Colbert

“A magisterial collection. An emotional roller coaster. Soon to be a cult classic. 

A combination of Bukowski’s The Last Night of the Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”
