Ted Cruz, the hateful, messianic, mendacious wingnut so creepy he embarrasses his hometown of Calgary, Alberta - a town with a ten-day festival devoted to cowboy hats - boasts in his campaign slogan he's "Consistent, Conservative, Trusted." Now we can aptlyadd, "anal probe," thanks to a Google search of the "Trus" in his "TrusTed" logo.

The definition of trus: "A transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) is an ultrasound technique that is used to view a man's prostate and surrounding tissues. The ultrasound transducer (probe) sends sound waves through the wall of the rectum into the prostate gland, which is located directly in front of the rectum." Way to go, guys. Hat tip to Daily Kos.
