'Nation's most trusted': Rep. Steve Stockman comes to hilarious defense of Cory Booker's imaginary friend 'T-Bone'

It’s come to light that the “thug” friend Newark mayor and U.S. Senate candidate Cory Booker has spoken of on the campaign trail is imaginary.

Texas Rep. Steve Stockman, one of the funniest tweeters in Congress, offered some facts about T-Bone you might not have known:

Criticize T-Bone all you want, but he is one of the nation's most-trusted global warming experts.

Fact: Cory Booker met with T-Bone as many times this year as Obama met with his Jobs Council.

Rep. Stockman hopes the latest news about Booker doesn’t cost T-Bone his job:

I hope T-Bone doesn't lose his gig preparing Obama's jobs plans.

Ha! Well played, Rep. Stockman.
