“the prince”

[lee martell]

If Ted did actually ‘apologize’, it was probably meant to be sarcastic. “For those of you most horribly inconvenienced’ by being ‘forced’ to perform the functions for which you are chronically overpaid, I offer my most humble of apologies, while winking and crossing my fingers”.

[gov_bean_ counter]

I do too, but some of the lug nuts on our side wouldn't recognize sarcasm if it danced naked in front of them...

[Oldeconomybuyer]

he regretted if any of his colleagues’ schedules were ruined

Nice backhand Sen. Cruz! Keep it up! STOP Obama!

"Ted Cruz apologizes to colleagues over antics"

"regretted if any of his colleagues’ schedules were ruined"

Cruz didn't regret his ACTIONS, which were proper. He regretted messing up his opponents' WEEKENDS.

Which are you more concerned about, the Constitution or RINO cocktail parties?

Cruz apologized for interrupting the cocktail parties, not defending the Constitution.

[smoothsailing]

New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte had returned home Friday night with plans to see “The Nutcracker” with her children on Saturday, but suddenly she scrapped her plans when she got the call that she needed to head back to the airport and return to Washington.

Ted you bad ass meanie! The poor children, how could you be so cruel?

[cripplecreek]

Pollutico.

[KittenClaws]

I imagine his apology was of the sort my mom would give me when I tried to sleep in too late:

“I’m sorry that I interrupted your majesty’s nap”

In fact, I’m certain it was. :)

[Vendome]

Aw come on Mac. Be a Prince. ..

[Mr. K]

Um... hardly an apology

He said he regretted if them missed any weekend plans

Not the same as saying he was sorry for bringing up the constitutional point of order.

But now Dems will run around saying “Senator Cruz HAD TO APOLOGIZE for pulling a stunt like this” next time any republican shows some balls.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

It's about time we had somebody who can beat them at their own game.

[VanDeKoik]

He yanks their chains.

Slap them then pet them on the head. Then slap them again.

Their used to it.

[Gator113]

I hope to be able to vote for that good man.

[Baladas]

Typical Leftico BS - Cruz isn’t saying he’s sorry for what did, he’s apologizing for what he did to some RINOs. It’s sarcasm and I bet Ted would do it again and again and again.

[bkopto]

According to five senators who attended Tuesday’s caucus lunch, Cruz offered the apology in unsolicited remarks

Sorry Politico, but I don't believe you nor these 5 losers, all of which have axes to grind. I'll wait to hear from Cruz himself before deciding what really happened.

[Gator113]

If I am still crying after 4 hours, am I supposed to call a doctor?

[House Atreides]

“...saying that he regretted if any of his colleagues’ schedules were ruined by his maneuvering...”
*****************************************************************************************************
Sorry Politico progressives, the above DOES NOT EQUAL AN APOLOGY for standing in defense of the constitution.

[right way right]

I live in Washington State and I have to Dim ass broads for senators and I will email a hearty thanks to Ted Cruz.
