Ted and The Dallas Morning News
The Dallas Morning News just ain’t giving up on Ted Cruz.
Ted Cruz has shifted to outrage at how he’s been treated for his aborted Cancun getaway, setting aside contrition for fleeing Texas as millions suffered without power and water last week.
The senator lashed out over paparazzi photos of his wife on the beach, and at whoever leaked her text messages about the trip. He blamed the uproar on news media eager for a fresh obsession to fill the void left by Donald Trump’s exit from the national stage.
Yeah, well Ted, when you act like Trump, you get treated like Trump.
There’s some rules in life.
(1) Don’t put anything in an email that you don’t want to see on the front page of the New York Times.
(2) When you wear a red two piece bathing suit on a public beach, you want to be seen. If the pictures had been taken in your backyard swimming pool, that’s a whole different thing. And don’t act outraged about it after you previously said that she looked “smokin’ hot” in the pictures. It’s nice to think that about your wife, but then you can’t act outraged about it a day later.
(3) Don’t spit in the wind.
And that pretty much covers it. Oh yeah, except lying about leaving your poor pitiful poodle at home in the freezing dark. Cruz said there was a dog sitter for Snowflake and the heat was back on. Nope. When Cruz left the electricity was off and he didn’t know when it was going to come back on. And the security guard said he guessed he was in charge of the dog. Cruz also said he loves his dog and nobody on God’s green earth believes that.
Then Cruz makes a suggestion for all the rest of us.
“Here’s a suggestion: Just don’t be a–holes. Like, just, you know, treat each other as human beings. Have …some modicum of respect.”
No, seriously. The world’s #1 jerk suggests we not be jerks because he’s got the market cornered on that.
He will never learn. Yesterday during the insurrection hearing he was scrolling through his phone. And Ron Johnson, that other massive a-hole, was twiddling his pen while the Black police officer was giving firsthand testimony about how she almost lost her life protecting these turds.
1Ted is the poster boy for what George Wills refers to as the Lout Caucus in the Senate.
2Ted and Lindsey are gonna have to up their Trump butt-kissing if they want to stay ahead in line of Johnson. He’s showing skills for a cheese-head.
3If I was a neighbor of ted’s, I think I’d get one of these and have a street party after he railed on about his neighbors.

4It’s not as though anybody expected Ted Cruz to be anything but a lying, useless jerk, and he has not disappointed. Texas should be angry and ashamed of his conduct to vote him out of office at the earliest opportunity, but it seems unlikely. It’s not like he’s going to develop a conscience or a regard for other people any time soon.
5Snowflake is sort of the Anti-Checkers.
For young readers, when Nixon was accused (accurately) during the 1952 campaign of benefitting from an $18,000 slush fund, he went on teevee and admitted only to getting a little dog. His little girls loved that dog and ‘we’re not giving him up.’
Cancun Pete also has little girls but evidently they do not love their little dog and he’s on his own in the wilds of River Oaks.
6Republicans like to do unto others, but don’t like it when others do unto them.
7Notify the ASPCA swat team and take that dog to an undisclosed location for relocation to a loving family. And fine Fled Flintstone an equal amount of the cost of a Cancun vacation multiplied by the number of days snowflake spent unattended. plus cruelty fines and vet fees.
8He’s got four more years and he doesn’t give a flip. He’s counting on everything going back to normal – with GOP in control after 2022. I’m already exercising my voting finger to not let that happen!
9The 10- and 12-year-old daughters ought to be left out of this — except for mocking Ted for saying they were the reason for the trip and that he was just dropping them off.
