I think this is a bit of a loaded statement. First, its fairly unique that a national TV show attacks a sitting US senator like this. Usually they have fictional senators. But HBO wanted to make a statement. You can be damn sure if it was a Barbara Boxer fundraiser or a Liz Warren fundraiser, the media would have gone ballistic over the "hate" directed at the senator. Second, Cruz did kinda laugh it off. The reporter makes it sound like Cruz went on some political rant but he didn't.
It is the last season of True Blood, so they can go low like this.
In the Fangtasia scene, there is also a picture behind the bar or on the wall near the bar where President Bush is a vampire, sucking the blood of the Statue of Liberty.
You do know why the dems hate him so much don’t you ..??
