Reid: Ted Cruz is a self-absorbed "laughing stock"

It's no secret that Sen. Ted Cruz's quixotic effort to leverage the government shutdown and debt ceiling fights into an undoing of the president's health-care law didn't exactly make him Mr. Congeniality on Capitol Hill.

Democrats - and even many Republicans - have taken Cruz, R-Texas, to task for his hard-ball tactics, but Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., brought the criticism to new heights in an interview with the Huffington Post, calling Cruz a self-absorbed "laughing stock."

"Ted Cruz, well, he proved he has a great fundraising operation," Reid said in the interview published Thursday. "But you don't have to have Harry Reid criticizing him. Republicans criticized him. What do you think that vote was last night from Republicans? That was a message to Ted Cruz: 'What the hell are you doing?'"

Isn't this the same moron who claimed, with no evidence whatsoever, Romney cheated on his taxes

Like Rush Limbaugh is saying today. Obama is not happy. He knows Cruz will be back again fighting for the American people. You can tell who they fear the most every time they open their mouths.

Harry needs to get used to it. Cruz will be there for 5 more years.

You can always count on the Democrats to tell you what they are afraid of, and Ted Cruz scares to bejesus out of them

Is it a bad thing to be the laughing stock of the people destroying the country?

Ted Cruz is brilliant. Many of the people in Washington like Reid and McCain are put off by Cruz because he so much smarter. Many are also looking for payback for the work Cruz did back in the day on Bush v Gore. The list of people who are jealous of Cruz is a pretty long list and grows daily.

Harry Reid is rumored to be a pedophile. You can Google it.

Cruz is my Senator and I am not laughing, Cruz has done what he said he would do and what he was sent to do. That’s what matters, Reid...not what your imperialist azz thinks.

at least 5 years. I suspect much much longer unless he runs for higher office or retires.

Or Texas gets to many liberal invaders.

Imagine a senator in Washington trying to carry out the will of his citizens in the face of a massive federal takeover they didn’t want! Shame on him.
