Pinch yourself, hard.
The unthinkable, the unimaginable, the impossible is happening.
People are actually feeling empathy for Ted Cruz.
What does this say about our beloved America? Into what kind of weird cosmic rat-hole have we let ourselves be dragged?
One of the coldest, most despised figures in the Senate, Cruz is endeavoring to appear human. The same snide jerk who led the costly, unpopular Republican shutdown of the government is now warming hearts for the way he rushed to the defense of his wife, Heidi.
For this Frankenstein turn of events we can thank Donald Trump.
In case you hadn't heard, the spouses of the two GOP presidential front-runners were the hot topic in the race last week. Second were the terrorist attacks in Brussels.
The wife feud ignited when an anti-Trump super PAC republished a naked photo of Melania Trump, a former model.
Before you stop reading and go Google the picture, you should know that the anti-Trump super Pac is called Make America Awesome Again. It is run either by hapless idiots, or evil geniuses....

“TRUMP MAY BE A RAT BUT I HAVE NO DESIRE TO COPULATE WITH HIM...”
- Ted Cruz— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) March 26, 2016
That does set a high new bar for The STRANGEST thing ever said in a political campaign:
But we are still a ways out before this season is over and, strange and incredible as it may seem, I doubt that comment will survive this political season at number one spot. Not with 8 months to go Cruz and Trump in the lead and with Bill and Hillary Clinton and probably Joe Biden coming on strong in the home stretch
My money is on Bill or Joe to grab the brass ring on this one.
I have no idea what Ted was trying to say.
GQ confirmed that Cruz dirty trickster Jeff Roe placed the order for Melania’s picture, not the PAC.
Ted is a lying bastard...
This article aside, Carl Hiaasen is an absolutely hilarious mystery novelist. I've been a fan since the early 90s.
adultery and polygamy are not the attributes of a gentleman...
Cruz is looking like scum...
“Cruz says stuff like “Trump May Be A Rat But I Have No Desire To Copulate With Him” and you think Trump is destroying himself?”
Who even uses the word copulate?
Oh, I remember Richard Nixon. David Frost, who conducted several interviews with Nixon, said Nixon asked him one time: “Did you copulate over the weekend.”
Me neither. It certainly is a very weird thing to say, especially from somebody who knows english as well as Cruz does.
Polygamy? You Trumpets are off the rails!
I understand one of Liz Mair’s friends defended her by saying, But she’s for RUBIO!!! Huh??? So this is Rubio oppo research on Cruz....spilled a little late to affect Super Tuesday....
The author is a liberal jerk.
I, for one, applaud Ted’s role in the “government shutdown.” Obama was as responsible as Congress by not accepting Congress’s power of the purse. Also, government always operates during these for-show “shutdowns.”
Good article. Trump committed a strategic MISCALCULATION when he hatched this stupid plot to attempt to smear Ted Cruz. He simply created a SHIT-STORM from which all the shit-splatter came back and covered Trump.
And Trump DID provide the answer to the question “Can Trump be any more loathsome?”. And that answer is that there is no end to the ocean of Trump’s loathsome deeds & words into which he can sink.
excellent.
Riiiight. It's Ted's gentlemanly copulation-with-rats rhetoric.
Chris and Ted are both investigating Trump?
Why doesn’t Cruz sue NE?? He’s a brilliant attorney right?
A gentleman??? I guess the affairs qualify you as a gentleman now.
@Patriotic_Me @SharonMcCutchan The Superpac that put out the ad about Melania was founded by Teds father and managed by a close friend.— Janet GD (@jangd56) March 26, 2016
I think Cruz was trying to call Trump a rat f’er. His nickname for Trump (sleazydonald) was weak and sounded like a bushism maybe a jebism? Cruz’ whole statement was somehow unconvincing
And we’re never gonna explain the ratfu*ker reference to you LIVs, either. You’re cuter when you’re ignorant, your natural state.
