Coloring book featuring Ted Cruz selling fast

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — He’s known for coloring outside the lines in the staid Senate. Now children of all ages can color in U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz.

Just in time for the holidays, a St. Louis publisher is offering a coloring book featuring the Texas tea party darling. Really Big Coloring Books Inc. said Thursday that the book’s in its third printing in six days. The first run of around 10,000 sold out in barely 24 hours, and the second went nearly as fast.

Cruz didn’t cooperate in the publishing of the book. It shows the ardent supporter of the Second Amendment hunting, and features his 21-hour speech on the Senate floor opposing the White House-backed health care law.

The same publisher also produced a popular 2008 coloring book on President Barack Obama’s inauguration.

"Glorious Leader Ted Cruz now speaks to our Future Cadres! The Anointed One is now putting into action all that he learned at the feet of his father, Dearest Leader.

The smighting of the Unbelievers shall soon proceed as soon as our next generation of God's Most Holy Army arises from the ranks of kindergartens nationwide, full of Love and Zeal for our Great Leader, and kills every Commie Liberal Socialist Fascist Democrat that stands in the way of the glorious merging of Church, State, and Corporations, just as prophesied in The Most Holy Republican Teabagger Bible!"
