Cruz Plans to Read Affordable Care Act
WASHINGTON Now that the government shutdown is over, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) plans to read the Affordable Care Act, he told reporters today.
Its definitely been on my must-read list for a while now, Sen. Cruz said of the law often referred to as Obamacare. Things have just been so hectic around here lately, I couldnt get to it.
The Texas Senator said that he started reading the law this morning and observed, So far, its pretty dry.
Its not a page-turner, thats for sure, he said. But its caused so much controversy, it must have some pretty juicy stuff in it. Ill keep reading it and see what I find.
Sen. Cruz said that when he finishes reading the Affordable Care Act, he plans to read the United States Constitution.
People kept bringing it up the last few weeks, he said. So Im kind of curious to see what all the fuss is about.

Then I saw it was Borowitz.
Can't tell truth from satire with these guys anymore.

(I have a 101 version from DailyKos if I thought it would help, and if I wanted to be even electronically close to that asswipe.)
Edit-- see its satire and I couldn't even tell.
