The trashing of Ted Cruz continues apace in the bien-pensant MSM. From the New York Times, to the Washington Post, to Politico and elsewhere, the liberal media has the new Republican Senator from Texas in its sights.

Joe Scarborough is clearly camped out on the Cruz-bashing bandwagon. Earlier this month, so offended was the sensitive Scarborough by Cruz that he wouldn't deign to mention him by name. Today, not to be outdone by Frank Bruni, who called Cruz "an ornery, swaggering piece of work," Scarborough declared that Cruz acts like "a carnival barker at a Republican event."

Cruz must be doing something right to have the MSM’s panties in such a twist. Ping to Today show list.

Scarborough is an over-weight, under-talented sell-out to the Left. He’s not fit to polish Sen. Cruz’s boots.

Scarborough is a thumb-sucking, bed-wetter whose “opinion” is worth squat.

Senator Cruz is doing exactly what he said he would do and I am very proud to have him in the United States Senate. I pray that we can find a few more just like him in 2014.

You bet he’s doing something right, he’s doing what we sent him there to do, hope he’s able to stay on track because the MSM/’rats/RINOS are going to be trying to make him into Joe McCarthy.

ROTFL.
Chris Matthews said he reminds him of Senator Joe McCarthy!

[GraceG]

OMG how dare Cruz do his job his constituents sent him to Washington to do.....

It’s amazing how fast and furiously the MSM and the GOP establishment has moved into “Cruz Control” mode.

I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed an attack more concerted, or perhaps I’m just becoming more aware of the tactics.

How many dead people have been found in Ted Cruz’s office?

[TADSLOS]

Ted Cruz isn't "playing ball". The D.C. establishment via the media displays their self righteous contempt. Yawn.

To paraphrase that great SNL music producer, Bruce Dickinson- "What D.C. needs is MORE TED CRUZ!!"

“an ornery, swaggering piece of work,” Scarborough declared that Cruz acts like “a carnival barker at a Republican event.”

Hey. Somebody’s got to do it.

[Starstruck]

.....and his itch to upbraid lawmakers who are vastly senior to him..

We haven't got in the situation we are in overnight. It took lawmakers who are vastly senior to him to do it. That is the problem with the Republican Party. Maintain the status quo. I'm a geezer and seniority means squat to me if you're not getting us out of this mess.

Respect is earned not granted because you have been somewhere for a certain period

So the fifth-column New York Slimes is having a hissy fit over the actions of Senator Ted Cruz (TX).

What a solid confirmation of the patriotic courage of Sen. Cruz!

Go Ted!!

[Earthdweller]

'Ornery'...that's a liberal code word for "he has testosterone".
We all know that testosterone needs to be removed from the planet.

'Swaggering', the motion of a confident person who has not been beaten down to a sniveling, sad-sack of a puppet.

With a little time and work, they will make him conform to the national socialist dictatorship or he will be gone.

This is the real state of the union. You are welcome.

[McGruff]

I coulda been a senator.

Well Joe ought to know; he's a circus clown.

I didn’t know that racism existed on the left!
