I found this picture a few minutes ago on the Houston Chronicle website … and I’ll concur with the comment accompanying it that this likely is the most “epic” photo op ever taken of U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas.<\/p>\n

I just had to share it here.<\/p>\n

That’s the junior Republican senator — and presidential candidate — on the left; next to him is\u00a0Kim Davis, the Rowan County, Ky., clerk who was jailed for refusing to issue marriage licenses — and who was ordered released from jail earlier today; and next to her<\/em> is her husband, to whom she’s been married twice.<\/p>\n

Check out the “Live Free or Die” poster on the wall behind them.<\/p>\n

I guess the big man’s bibs are part of his regular attire.<\/p>\n

As for Cruz, who’s decided to make some political hay over Davis’s refusal to do the job to which she took an oath, I keep thinking how he would respond if a pacifist county clerk — who also could stand behind his or her religious belief — refused to issue a gun permit.<\/p>\n

Anyhow, I agree with the view that this picture is worth a million<\/em> — not just a thousand — words.<\/p>\n
