I understand Ted Cruz is still at his fake filibuster. Comments?

Best proposed nickname for him to date: Ted ‘Carnival’ Cruz.
Too bad he said he was going to strut and bloviate it until HE can’t stand – ’cause most of the rest of us couldn’t stand HIM the second we laid eyes on him.
Apparently, he read from “Green Eggs and Ham” overnight.
And when he stops his bloviating-strut-fest today, I wish all of the Democrats would get up and respond by shouting, “GOOD NIGHT, LOON!!!”
Actually, I think that “Loony-Tune” Cruz is very good for the Dem candidates. “Loony-Tune” Cruz will take the whack-o fringe TeaPartiers with him on a losing campaign.
The moderate Repubs, given a sane Dem or a Loony-Tune Repub will either stay home or vote for the Dem or a 3rd party candidate.
maha,
You live not too far away from me, so I want to let you, and everyone else in the Northeast know to be ready – when Senator Ted Cruz-ader stops talking, get ready for a big cold front, which will come in quickly to take the place of all of that hot air!
Cruz is scheduled to join Limbaugh on his show at 1 pm, according to Limbaugh’s website.
From the LAT comments on this subject, I give you “Sam H”:
To shut the country down
Is such a stupid ruse
To please that dopey clown,
The raging Mr. Cruz.
8 – Rush Limbaugh has a net worth of nearly a half a billion bucks, and he is the most listened-to ignorance-and-hate-purveyor in the nation, with some 15 million regular listeners. He has two semesters of college under his rather lengthy belt, and according to his mother, he “flunked everything.â€
But I particularly like:
12 – Chelsea Manning is in jail. Dick Cheney is not.
Well, he toppled Rand Paul’s record and brought the Fili title home to the Texas tea party. Now he’s the reigning champ. Other than that I don’t see what he’s accomplished.
Maybe there’s a lesson that young parents can take on the importance of not rushing a male child through potty training with an excessive praise and reward technique. Positive reinforcement is a good tool, but if not properly exercised with good balance, especially at a critical stage in child development, the result can be the instilling a life long habit of anal retentiveness like those being displayed by Senator Cruz.
I keep trying to imagine what Molly Ivins would have to say about Cruz. I got nothin’. He’s just not funny.
So if nothing else, that should answer the question about whether Cruz is really as smart as he thinks he is. It’s pretty bad when even Green Eggs and Ham is too subtle for you.
@Stephen – thanks for the link to Steve Benen. And this is the state where the GOP wants to take “critical thinking” out of the education curriculum. I haven’t listened at all to Cruz, but that little snippet says it all about how obtuse this clown really is.
Stephen,
I’m a regular commenter on Benen’s site – but thanks for the ‘heads-up’ anyway! 🙂
ROFLMAO!!!
After that strutting and preening Texas cow-patties 21-hour faux-filibuster, the Senate just voted.
100 to 0, FOR CLOTURE!!!
Even the Cruz-ader voted for cloture!
WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Jesus H. F*cking Keerist!!!’
You can’t make sh*t like this, up!!!
If Monty F*cking Python was an American comedy troupe specializing in politics, they couldn’t have dreamed up this farce while high on blotter acid, hashish, tequila, meth, and peyote!!!!!
If Salvador Dali wasn’t dead, I think we would ask him to do a painting of this vote taking place!
100 to 0!
LOL!
Here’s a little video that will make you wonder. Try to reconcile this with his acclaimed academic credentials. Either he’s beyond brilliant in his ability to disguise his intellect or he’s a complete idiot who gamed the system. But something don’t jive. And he’s argued before the supreme court? http://news.yahoo.com/video/ted-cruz-cites-love-white-164410350.html

I do like “Carnival” Cruz, though.
