The GOP is trying to secretly and quietly tell members of it’s Party to stop acting the fool.  And to shut the hell up.

Republicans are worried one thing could screw up the political gift of three Obama administration controversies at once: fellow Republicans.

Top GOP leaders are privately warning members to put a sock in it when it comes to silly calls for impeachment or over-the-top comparisons to Watergate. They want members to focus on months of fact-finding investigations — not rhetorical fury.

Whoa, wait a minute.  That can’t happen because Rhetorical Fury is the only language that Ted Cruz speaks.  He doesn’t speak English worth a damn and he lisps his way through Spanish.  He does speak a little conversational Viciously Confused and he’s brushing up on verb conjugation in Wildly Egocentric, but he’s going to be reduced to crayons and butcher paper if you take away his native languages.

And, with history as our witness, Republicans will overreach with Ted’s help.

Republicans are well aware of their long history of taking their scandal crusades too far, and turning damaged political figures like Bill Clinton into popular victims. Who can forget former Rep. Dan Burton (R-Ind.), then in the Issa role of overseeing the oversight committee, re-enacting the death of Clinton friend Vince Foster in his backyard by shooting a watermelon?

Somebody, anybody, please give Ted Cruz a Marine and an umbrella.  He needs to reenact the latest scandal.
