But he was president of his fraternity!

He used a self-described Popeye line in his Politico sitdown, saying: “I know there are some people who do a very good job acting and pretend they’re something they’re not. You get what you see. I am who I am.”

But the former Massachusetts governor did seem to bristle at criticism that he doesn’t connect with people, noting: “I was voted president of my fraternity.”

Maybe he can get us all in as pledges?

They'd have to feed, clothe, and teach all the pledges, wouldn't they? Otherwise, the Fraternity would look bad.
