Sen. Cory Booker's (D–N.J.) announcement today that he'll seek the 2020 Democratic nomination for president prompted various political analysts to publish pieces pondering what his chances are. As Reason's Elizabeth Nolan Brown noted this morning, Booker's strengths include his strong support for criminal justice reform. Plus, he's already called for weed legalization nationwide.
But Booker's chances will no doubt be hurt by his penchant for grandstanding and embellishing the truth for rhetorical purposes. Take, for instance, his many references to "T-Bone," a drug dealer who Booker claimed to have been friends with. Various critics have questioned whether T-Bone is actually a real person, and Booker has never really provided a definitive response.

His real name is Porter House.
George Costanza?
Oh wait, Koko the monkey. ....
It’s going to be fun to watch Spartacus and the slut from CA scratch each others eyes out. ...cat fight. ..meow
T-Bone is his ‘connect’. Let Corey Booker deny it.
Politicians on the left live a lie.
Progressivism is based on lying and deception.
Many politicians on the right lie as well.
Politicians find it difficult to consistently tell the truth, but it is harder for Conservatives to lie.
Why? Because Conservatives are constantly scrutinized by the Media and held to account for merest trifle of a lie.
Leftists are given a pass, most of the time.
fibber. noun. One who tells lies: fabricator, fabulist, falsifier, liar, prevaricator. Informal: storyteller
That describes him to a “t”.
I don’t think they’ll do that until late in the game. They’ll tag team taking down folks like Warren and Schultz first.
No, wait, that's T-BOONE.
Great Seinfeld episode. We should call Booker “Gammy.”
Why? Because Conservatives are constantly scrutinized by the Media and held to account for merest trifle of a lie.
Also, Conservatives have standards and we expect Conservative leaders to live up to those standards. The gungrabbing babykillers have no standards. In particular, I remember an Obama supporter telling me in 2008 that:
1) Because his mother's parents grew up in Kansas, Obama had Midwestern values.
2) That the Ford Foundation was a conservative think-tank because Henry Ford was a conservative.
It’s Fartacus, not Spartacus.
Count Grandstandula.
T-Bone was/is a character in “Clifford the Big Red Dog”.
Booker stole it plain and simple.
“Leftists are given a pass, most of the time.”
Given a pass? The media PERPETUATES THE LIES FOR THEM.
Booker’s record in Newark was a disaster, but that is swept under the carpet. When Amazon was looking for a site for the HQ2, the media first pretended that Newark was a serious contender, then said nothing when Spartacus Booker publicly stated that “Newark has an educated, well-trained workforce”. Yes, he actually said that!
