"SNIP.....

The GOP is no longer a serious political party. It’s a vaudeville show, and all they care about these days is performing. Not performing good deeds, mind you. Just performing. And the top clowns were all feeling their oats on Wednesday. 

Whether he’s concocting ad hoc reasons for flying to Cancun during a deadly deep freeze or insisting there really is candy in the back of his windowless white van, it’s safe to say that Sen. Ted Cruz can rarely be trusted. I’d say “never,” but you can rely on him being the most loathsome vertebrate at any right-wing rally that neglected to book the neo-Nazi blobfish. And even then it’s a toss-up.

Yesterday, Cruz viciously attacked Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson with a fusillade of dishonest accusations and innuendos. It was gross. It was outrageous. And his performative pique seemed about as genuine as his situational outrage on behalf of his wife. 

But more on Cruz in a minute—because he was far from the only asshole at the party.

1. Ted's cemented his status as a spineless self-wanking sick fuck slime sac

2. Although transparency in these hearings

is important, maybe it's time to get the TV cameras and radio mics out of the hearing room to stop the grandstanding. They can still be covered by print reporters.

Someone would still try to record it on a phone so requiring no phones while the hearing is in session would also be necessary. People can check their phones during breaks. There was a time when instant phone contact was not available and government still managed to function.

3. The GOP is the Party of Stunts. It is all they have.
