We had all the evidence we'd ever need to know he's not competent or going to do the right thing.
Republicans will own this vote and Kent's record.

Folds a Fitted Sheet is a love letter to our better halves and/or our situationships. 'Extremely swift, and undeniable wit' (TheMumble.uk). I still have some words left in my word count for this show. Please tell your friends. Please bring money. I didn't realize how expensive Edinburgh was.
