In a widely-cited riposte, Cruz dismissed the charge, claiming
that he had “never exchanged more than fifty words” with Lucifer.
There are, however, credible
reports of a certain document
drawn up in blood, of no more than that scant word-count; however, the super-PAC “Diabolists 4 Truthitude”
are demanding to see “the long form”.

We earlier remarked upon the
extraordinary resemblance, both physical and moral between Ted Cruz and Mr
Pecksniff, in Dickens’ novel Martin Chuzzlewitt. And now we are put in mind of Martin’s
assessment of that gentleman:
“In
thought, and in deed, and in everything else:
A
scoundrel
from
the topmost hair of his head,
to
the nethermost atom of his heel.”
