Really. \u00a0What a cool guy to have supporting you, Carly.<\/p>\n<p>This is part of Hal&#8217;s crowd. \u00a0He can&#8217;t deny he&#8217;s a Republican no matter how hard he tries. \u00a0He&#8217;s never had an original idea in his life and he&#8217;s mediocre at best. \u00a0Maybe he could take some tips from Carly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I know. \u00a0I know. \u00a0I should be just focusing on our &#8220;pal Hal&#8221; but I have to focus on Carly instead today.
