This is a win-win. Ms. Lindsay got a great gig, Ted Cruz got nothing, and he looks like an idiot. Everyone is happy.

“… It’s a fair cop; but Society’s to blame.”
“Right, we’ll arrest them instead…”

“Amy Lindsay, whom BuzzFeed reported had starred in a number of softcore porn films.”
For fuck’s sake, Sara, I’m sure your heart’s in the right place and you have lots of talents but grammar is clearly not one of them. Get yourself a copy of Strunk & White or Fowler or whoever. “Amy Lindsay” is the subject of your clause. Forget about BuzzFeed, it’s a distraction. Essentially your sentence boils down to, “Amy Lindsay, who had starred…”
Sorry to be a grouch but it kills me to see the English language massacred on a daily basis here on TPM. Come on, this is grade school stuff.

“The actress responded to an open casting call. She passed her audition and got the job,”
No doubt!

I wanted to be the English language scold at one time, but I saw it was hopeless.

Amy Lindsay,responded to an open casting call. She passed her audition and got the job … yeah, yeah … striking resemblance to … Rielle Hunter - an American “actress” and film producer. Really expecting ego maniac Cruz to end up being exposed as having had a dalliance or two.

She told the news publication that she’s a Christian conservative and Republican.
“In a cool way, then hey, then it’s not just some old, white Christian bigot that people want to say, ‘It could be, maybe, a cool kind of open-minded woman like me,’" she told BuzzFeed.
Aiming to play Sarah Palin next, is she? She’s got the word-salad part down pat. I can’t even begin to parse that.

What’s the matter, porn actresses & sex workers have also the right as anyone else to lobby for their interest. Germany is flooded with hookers from eastern Europe, displacing native horizontal workers. NOt been there but they say that Holland is the same.

thank you for that…
I know it’s hopeless given the current state of American education but I’ll go down fighting. Not because I’m a grouch or because I love the English language, both of which are true, but because if we don’t couch our ideas in proper English we lose credibility. And I want our ideas to win, people’s lives literally depend on it.

Mind you, Jenna was retired before she said ‘yes’ again, but to use a Randy Newman quote 'Its money that matters…"
Call me a pedantic grouch, but I dread overhearing the conversations of youngish people because they begin with “I mean”, and are sprinkled throughout with “I’m like. . . .”

Teddy’s afraid his supporters will go blind and develop hairy palms.

Not just young people. Look at how Rubio described his dental accident: “I just bit into a Twix bar and I go, ‘Man this Twix bar’s got something really hard in it,’” Rubio said. “And I go, ‘Oh my gosh, I cracked my tooth.’”

Cruz supporters are way past the hairy palm stage… they are in a tertiary stage, symptoms include, irreversible brain damage, manifested in terminal stupidity and incredible hypocrisy and lack of self awareness.
