  • Ted Cruz is a dick, but really, what is he actually going to accomplish by being there? I completely get that in the modern media world, a politician needs to be seen at the disaster site. They need to have their picture taken next to the heavy machinery, and talking with actual people doing the disaster relief work (ideally not while wearing goofy white boots).

    But, really, I would assume that his presence will just interfere with the work. Maybe he could be useful in his office, answering phones from concerned people, coordinating longer-term plans. But, I’m sure it’s just a matter of time before we see him in jeans at a disaster site because… that’s important.
