"Hagel Accuser Ted Cruz Wants Everyone To Stop Asking Questions About His Past"

Hagel Accuser Ted Cruz Wants Everyone To Stop Asking Questions About His Past

By: Sarah Jones at Politicus USA

"SNIP.......................................................


Ted Cruz’s (R-TX) spokesperson thinks it’s “curious” that the New Yorker would cover a speech he gave two years ago when he McCarthyed his way into the arms of the Koch brothers with suggestions that Harvard was a cover for a Marxist government take over plot. You see, Ted Cruz’s history has nothing to do with anything. Leave him alone!

.................................................

You want to know what is relevant? According to Cruz, a speech Chuck Hagel (R-NE) gave in 2000, which by my regular, unskewed math, is 12-13 years ago instead of 2-3 years ago. Curious, that.

Also, Cruz is still waiting to find out if Hagel is pallin’ around with terrorists. Sure, Breitbart’s “Friends of Hamas” has been widely debunked. But Cruz also asked during the confirmation hearings, “It is at a minimum relevant to know that if that $200,000 that he deposited in his bank account came directly from Saudi Arabia, came directly from North Korea.”

Lions and Tigers and Bears, oh my! This outraged John McCain, whose VP nominee talked that way on the trail, but not during official business. These sorts of things are not said by civilized people on the floor or during hearings. But Cruz is a “conservative” and hence, not civilized. Please lower your expectations.

I know he'd be too nutty for Florida. I have a sincere hope he's way too nutty even for Texas. Maybe he could convert to Mormonism and move to Idaho. He's not too nutty for Idaho.

In the meantime, he's going to be fun to laugh at.

We gave you the bugman and the shrub. You think there is anything "too nutty" for Texas? Sadly, not much.

It's so very very hard, to bring this level of STUPIDITY into our Government's Chambers.

Please Proceed Teddie , please do!

He doesn't realize that this isn't the age of newsreels anymore -- people have these new-fangled Intertubes, and the ridicule can descend faster than he can make it back to his office and have sex with his favorite sheep.

I'm not suggesting that he's into that sort of stuff, of course.
