Ted, Ted, Sick In The Head
It think it makes Ted look more human. I mean, who among hasn’t looked longingly at the face of Beto O’Rourke?
This is in today’s NY Times Opinion piece that is a conversation between Gail Collins and Bret Stephens, a semi-Republican. It is the best description of Ted Cruz I have ever read.
Bret: Because he’s like a serpent covered in Vaseline. Because he treats the American people like two-bit suckers in 10-gallon hats. Because he sucks up to the guy who insulted his wife — by retweet, no less. Because of his phony piety and even phonier principles. Because I see him as the spiritual love child of the 1980s televangelist Jimmy Swaggart and Jack Nicholson’s character in “The Shining.” Because his ethics are purely situational. Because he makes Donald Trump look like a human being by comparison. Because “New York values.” Because his fellow politicians detest him, and that’s just among Republicans. Because he never got over being the smartest kid in eighth grade. Because he’s conniving enough to try to put one over you, but not perceptive enough to realize that you see right through him. Because he’s the type of man who would sell his family into slavery if that’s what it took to get elected. And that he would use said slavery as a sob story to get himself re-elected.
Otherwise, you might say I’m his No. 1 fan.
Amen.
Thanks to Jan for the heads up.
Do we now believe Canadian Raphael has developed a man-crush on Texan-but-Not-Hispanic-at-all Beto O’rourke? Canadian Raphael maybe the most confused and confusing human being G-d ever made. Not even his hair dresser knows for sure.
1Looks like he’s flying coach, at least.
And never let it be said that he didn’t do the least he could do.
2look more human? more human than the lizard person he is , you mean?

4Just saw this writer on Nichole Wallace. They sure had fun with this piece.
5I heard that protesters greeted him at restaurant. They were loud, raucous, and not his fans. I love when that happens to those nasty people. A little discomfort is good for them. They deserve a lot of discomfort, beginning with being voted out of office,
6And Beto tweeted that the Cruz family should be treated with respect.
7True to form.
I agree. Treat the Cruz family with respect. Just not Ted.
8Respectfully disagree.
I hope it gets so bad, they have to fix them a table in back of the kitchen.
He knew there would be heat when he was elected.
9I’m ready for a lightning bolt to take care of the Kavanaugh (sp) situation. That’s real tricky, a bag of lady tricks used by Kavanaugh. Crying? Having a tantrum? I guess his real self showed up.
10And Cruz? I don’t use that kind of language. Well, after he did all he could in first debate to smash Beto, it took me awhile to settle down and to say a couple of prayers that God would protect Beto if for no other reason that he has better manners and isn’t a bully. I love Beto. I can do that because I’m 78, deaf and wobbly.
I’m as curious about Kavanaugh’s financial situation as I am about his er, propensity for coaching little girls. Look, lots of nice people, male and female, are good, reliable coaches. It’s just all of it together.
