Oh, poor Ted Cruz, the bullies are picking on him.

Tough-talking freshman Sen. Ted Cruz is attacking critics with a bold tactic: whining. The man who told the world, without evidence, that defense secretary nominee Chuck Hagel might have taken money from Hamas or North Korea now complains his critics are trying to “silence” him – but it won’t work.

“Washington has a long tradition of trying to hurl insults to silence those who they don’t like what they’re saying,” said Cruz.

Dude, take a nap and then think this through.  Isn’t that exactly what you tried to do to Chuck Hagel?

You know, I have heard that Ted Cruz likes to walk through his house nakkid, wearing only a coonskin hat and a Viva Fidel! bumper sticker on his butt.  Until he can prove otherwise, I have no choice but to believe it.  I’m just asking questions.

By the way, Cruz whined at a peculiar place.

Cruz made his comments at a visit to a Texas gun maker that manufactures assault weapons for the civilian market. “He’s our type of guy,” kvelled the firm’s marketing manager.

Expect a large campaign contribution to Cruz from this arms merchant.  Cruz pals around with arms merchants.

Y’all, you gotta admit that Mr. Bully plays the victim quite well.

Thanks to Brian C for the heads up.
