A Message from Great American Christopher Ballesteros '12

As our buddies over at Universal Waste have already declared (with an animated GIF that can win any woman's heart over), Christopher Ballesteros '12, megastar politico and bff of Andy Bumatai of "Nighttime with Andy Bumatai", has put all his political mass behind Ben Schwartz '10 and Alneada Biggers '10. We decided that, while Zags Zagorsky '12 (brother of behind-the-scenes political mastermind Josh Zagorsky '11) is one to make endorsements based on metaphorical dreamscapes and psychedelic premonitions, Ballesteros is a different breed. We here at GossipGeek rely more than is probably healthy on his esoteric knowledge of the political world, and so we gave it a go and asked him why he's putting all his political weight being Schwartz, who we've decided after yesterday's debate has no real platform independent from rival Andrea Flores '10s, although he is super, super hot (and in a finals club, so he can't be that hard to get, right? though we're all still totes in love with Michael Koenigs '09's bodyguard, Ricardo ('??)). This is what our intrepid reporter Enigmatic Seal managed to get out of Ballesteros:
Well I don't know if I'm as much a celebrity as a lampooned frosh, but I'm going to vote for Schwartz/Biggers, not that my "endorsement" really matters haha. Now, (almost) all the other tickets are somewhat qualified, and I have to give props to Waite and Koenigs for making us all laugh, but I met Ben personally and his blockmate is my mock trial teammate, so that kind of gives him a boost in my mind at least.
Too humble, Ballesteros, too humble. Your endorsement carries a weight the likes of Peter Bacon '11 (who, unfortunately for everyone, is under the Cupps Tyranny and unable to comment on anything, ever) and Matt Di Pascuale '08. No, really.

Lampoon: to satire 1 ; specifically : a harsh satire directed against an individual

Yup. That's what Christopher Augustine Ballesteros is... a satire of what Harvard freshman are. He takes people's ambitions and flaws and multiplys them 100-fold for the world to see. Kinda like George Bush...

Supporting Ben isn't going to get him into a final club. What a douche.
