Speaking of which, if you missed it Monday: Now That Spencer Pratt Is Out of the Race, CNN Can Safely Tell You How FUBAR L.A. Is:
When I said this throughout my campaign, CNN people called me cruel and unhinged. Now, after they helped secure the election for the 2 dorks responsible for all these problems, CNN is now echoing my campaign talking points as gospel. Fascinating!pic.twitter.com/lIXV0OkQrf
