Ted Cruz: a world-class dick

[hifiguy]

21. Re Scalia.

When I was a young pup fresh out of Harvard the most senior partner in the group I worked in at a Fancy Downtown Mpls Law Firm (I didn't last - doomed as much by my zip code as my Asperger's) was a classmate of Scalia's. In a department meeting he was asked about his upcoming argument before the SCOTUS and his old classmate. John was a soft-spoken, astoundingly brilliant attorney who never had a bad word to say about anyone, a true gentleman. Longtime liberal Dem and personal friend of Walter Mondale's as well.

His comment: "Nino is a very smart man. In fact he's almost half as smart as he thinks he is." Delivered with a small, sly, Jeeves-like smile and a twinkle in his eye.

Priceless.
