The Aristocrats
And
here we have a bit of presidential theater in which mid-tier Republican candidate and sitting member of the world's Greatest Deliberative Body Ted Cruz ostensibly teaches you how to cook bacon using only the machine gun you no doubt have lying around the house.
"There are few things I enjoy more than on weekends cooking breakfast with the family. Of course in Texas, we cook bacon a little differently than most folks."
I like the shaky camera work and thumping soundtrack—it gives off a very
Cooking with Dexter sort of vibe.
Anyhoo, I said before that the entry of Donald Trump into the race had resulted in a "Trumpification" of the other candidates. I regret that. It is probably more accurate to say not that Donald Trump was somehow making all the other candidates behave like rabid possums fighting in a garbage can, but that the Republican Party has finally dumbed itself down enough to make even America's most well-known conspiracy-peddling racist asshole look like just as credible an entry as the rest of them.
As an aside, and apropos of nothing: Remember when Bill Clinton played his saxophone on television, and pundits mewed for the next half-decade about whether he was insulting the dignity of the office? Ah, good times.
