"A filibuster is like going to war." Please come CAPTION Ted Cruz!!!

[skip fox]

Ted (Pray the Sane Away) Cruz is saying "Being up here for the past eighteen hours defending America against the evils of Obamacare has made me better appreciate American sacrifices of the past. . . . I now feel that I can fully understand what it was to have been a soldier at Iwo Jima facing wave after wave of Japanese suicide attacks, or a Marine at Khe Sahn seeing his best buddy blown up before him, or an Army Sergeant fighting the Germans at the Battle of the Bulge even after his leg was blown off and he knew he was going to die. . . . And all I can say is I'm proud as hell to join their ranks!!!"

1. I am certain that the soldiers will feel the same way!

Yes,at war while voluntarily standing at a podium inside a secure building, warm, fed and directed by your own wishes. This man is delusional. He minimizes the efforts of every soldier that has ever fought.

...but I do have a lovely hat."

3. I can't caption Cruz for fear of being banned from DU.

He is so very weird looking/sounding and looks like he could be hiding any number of 'alternative lifestyles.'

I still maintain he's grown up Damien.

4. "I will hold my breath like a big whiny baby until I get my way"

Yeah Ted that would be doing us a favor.

5. My grandfather

was a Sergeant in the US Army and fought back the Germans and their Ardennes Offensive. He may not have had his legs blown off (he did have his ears blown out by arty, though) but he was more of a hero that Ted Cruz ever could be. Fuck you, Cruz. Fuck you.

6. CAPTIONing at DU is a creative activity, but may of us try to

channel our subject's essence, having them say what they'd like to if they thought they could get away with it or anything else to satirize them.

8. My satire meter is on the brink today.

Must be the cold I'm getting over.

11. Very understandable. You see why the poet wrote "It's getting

hard to satarize these freaks" (Richard LaPauvre)?

12. "And I say this to those who say this filibuster has anything to do

with my future political ambitions: It most certainly does not! . . . I don't even think that way! . . . I'm doing this because of the will of the people, who I'm in contact with daily, hourly! . . . And not just Texas but all the American people! . . . Why in November I'm planning to spend a week in Iowa and then one in New Hampshire."

[Avalux]

13. If that silly woman Wendy can do it, so can I!

Never mind I'm not actually filibustering and what I have to say is nothing but gobbledygook spun from the vast nothingness of my greed infested mind solely to drive people insane!
