What a phony. His claim of ignorance regarding crossing the picket line is as disingenuous as that negative ad he said he would run as he showed it to the press.

Second of all, are we to believe that the Writers Guild was unable to send a directive to him that was clear enough that even this simpleton could understand. It's the freakin' Writers Guild.

They'll likely resort to puncturing tires, dumping water in parking lots to freeze, and cutting power lines to caucus sites. This whole Iowa thing creeps me out. The candidates have invested millions of dollars and hundreds of hours to lure a few midwestern white guys willing and able to spend the evening playing political games. What any of that has to do with the rest of the damn country is a mystery to me. Of course, if the results are agreeable to me, I'll stay mum. I am nothing if not cheap and shallow.
