On Second Thought — Cruz and Biden
It doesn’t matter who you are or what your political beliefs, you have to ache for Vice President Biden and his family.
Wait, I was wrong. It does indeed matter who you are.
Texas Republican Senator and excruciatingly mean man Ted Cruz, made a joke about Joe Biden on the night before his son’s funeral. This alone is proof to me that Cruz is some kind of damn vampire or something.
But the fact that he had to wait for blowback to apologize is proof that he’s a damn loathsome vampire or something.
Detroit News reporter Chad Livengood tweeted —
Livengood said on Twitter that when he asked Cruz after the event why he joked about Biden, given the timing, Cruz simply “turned and walked away.”
There’s a tape of it.
Hours later, Cruz issued an apology after people noted that was pretty damn classless.
Yeah, we need a president who has to go around apologizing for being a damn slow loathsome vampire.
Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
In-friggin-human is what Cruz is. Just another dam’ narcissist! I’ve met (in literature y’all) far more personable and decent vampires!
1Longish snip From the Gospel according to Stonekettle Station, Re: Rafael Cruz
2“We’ve got Ted “The Chosen One” Cruz, who hates the US Government to a degree that makes any random Iranian Ayatollah’s rhetoric sound like a round of Kumbaya at a hippy love-in. Cruz prides himself on being a loose cannon or in Tea Party vernacular “going rogue.” As such Cruz’s most noteworthy accomplishment is that he’s elevated paranoia from mental illness to a comic book superpower and managed to convince both Republicans and Democrats that he’s a rampaging elephant. And while watching a blood maddened pachyderm trumpeting wildly and trampling the villagers can be amusing under the right conditions, a guy who can’t even get along with the people on his own team ain’t never going to be President.”
“Beau Biden, 1969-2015”
Signs bearing that statement ought to appear at every Cruz campaign appearance until he’s eliminated from the race. Nothing like being represented by a sub-human piece of filth to make you feel proud to be a Texan, right?
3Watching the interview (@crooks&liars), I was struck because Cruz COULDN’T speak in defense of his joke. I’m sure he got lost in the moment of piling on, carried by the psychosis of his audience. I won’t defend him, but I do think there was a tiny shred of something to allow shame inside of him.
UNLIKE Dick Cheney:

It’s so interesting how people reveal their true selves without knowing they’re doing it. Not that we didn’t already know what is truly in Cruz’ heart, but he sure showed the nation what’s going on in that black heart and mind. Keep it up, Teddy Boor,
5you’ll lose this thing all by yourownself.
I wonder if someone duggary Cruz as a child?
6This is the kind of crap that will do him in. No Prez for you, Tedster!
7He had to have been the model for Count Dracula on Sesame Street. Without any of the redeeming virtues of the muppet.
8His apology is hollow, like his head.
9His apology is hollow, like his head.
10Cruz is not a vampire. He’s not sparkly and he has no sex appeal.
He’s a ghoul.
11No test of character is quite as revelatory as the opportunity to kick a man when he’s down.
12Class will out…
Speaking of class: Ricky is announcing. Missing no opportunity to bash Obama and glorify guns and full of puffed-up thuggery about the now-safe (thanks to Rick) border and the state of Texas, which so stands for education and health care, and the treatment of women. I think it’s the glasses that has/have been responsible for this vaunted wonderfulness that is Rick. I can’t really think what else could have made such a transformation into the boy wonder we hear today…
13Caution!
14If you’re eating lunch or about to you might refrain from looking at this photo of a plastic couple kissing in a very plastic way!

Think Progress has an article up “…completely bonker things Rick Perry believes about the Constitution.
15One day, a weird, wailing, agonized scream will be heard all across America. The sheer depth of misery in that scream will give us all the willies. Cows in Wisconsin will give curdled milk. Bison in Yellowstone will dash about panicked. Whales will beach themselves in California. Pigeons in the glass and steel canyons of Manhattan will fly into windows. Sidewinders in Arizona will bite themselves to death. Armadillos across Texas will continue to wander in front of cars, like always, only this time they will welcome death by Firestone.
That will be the day that Ted Cruz wakes up and sees himself as he really is.
16daChipster, that would be a memorable day indeed – and one for giving thanks to the Powers That Be for allowing TC to face reality. A national holiday forever! It can’t come soon enough.
17Another one of those “I apologize if I offended anyone.. apologies”.
What a sad, sick person is Ted Cruz.
18Nothing new or revelatory here. This is Cruz as he has always been – NIC (Narcissist in Chief!). First class sociopath, just like his father.
19Fred-you can download Tiny URL for free and make this-

No,I am not a paid spokesperson for Tiny URL,but they do make URLs simpler and mucho shorter. Anyone can download it for free.
20Get your tickets and join the no class Cruz on its maiden crash and burn run for laughing stock.
21Ted Cruz crazy–nature or nurture?
22When you apologize after being told (or forced) the apology means nothing. It is not sincere. If you have to apologize for the same thing more than once. You really did not mean it.
23Ted Cruz need not bother to apologize. By now everyone understands that he is a complete total and utter asshole.
24Way I heard it, he didn’t even apologize out loud. He posted an “apology” on Facebook and left it at that! What a total A-HOLE!
25daChipster, I don’t think that Cruz will ever see himself as he really is until he checks out that portrait in the attic.

26Thank all of you for the great perspective on Cruz, particularly you, micr for your contribution from Stonekettle Station, always welcome and right on target.
27To paraphrase Shakespeare, “But Cruz is an asshat and idiot. So are they all, all asshats and idiots.” I am pretty sure none of them will know who Shakespeare was, seeing as they oppose education. But, hey, at least I have fun making fun of them.
28“It was a mistake to use an old joke about
Joe Biden during his time of grief, and I
sincerely apologize. . . . ”
Hmmm. Where to start?
1] The word “mistake.” Cruz is incapable of using the word in reference to himself. He simply cannot do it.
2] “Sincerely.” See explanation of 1] above. The adjective cannot apply.
3] “Apologize.” See 1] and 2] but substitute “verb” for “adjective.”
Clearly this statement was written by a staffer whose talents are wasted in his current job. [OK, I know I’m making an assumption when assigning the male sex to the staffer in question but – – – come on! This is Ted Cruz’ campaign we’re discussing here, and the staffer in question was not serving coffee. Nuff said.]
29This chicklet toothed dumpster stew smelling slimy sweaty skinned lying scuz bag that’s lower than cat butt juice on Berber carpet needs to taken to the woodshed for a good old fashion medieval ass kickin’ to teach him some manners. I am available.
30cruz is (and apparently always has been) a douchebag, a well known fact pretty much everywhere. why this should surprise anyone I don’t know.
