This may not be satire.

It’s snarky New York metrosexual satire.

Borowitz may be an unreconstructed Leftie, but he’s hilarious.

Liberal and humor are mutually exclusive

Well, since Cruz isn’t signing up for Obamacare, it is kind of silly.

It's going to be almost pitiful -- it weren't so sickening -- what a mind like Cruz's is going to make these ankle-biters-from-Hell do.

That’s what they want you to believe.

Cruz signed up for a Federal Employee Insurance Plan.

Under Obamacare, the coverage is available only on a Federal Exchange with no Subsidies. Like overpaid Federal Employees would be eligible for Subsidies anyway.

He signed up for the same Coverage as all other Federal Employees.

The Media is in full Spin mode with this and your response proves that they are being effective with their Propaganda.

I'm not sure how you would know what Cruz signed up for when his "national spokesman" doesn't as of 8:30EDT today. Rick Tyler, national spokesman for the Texas Republican’s newly-launched presidential campaign, also defended Cruz against charges of hypocrisy for suggesting that he might enroll in Affordable Care Act health exchanges.

“Senator Cruz and his wife are still weighing options for their family,” Tyler wrote in an email to POLITICO when asked about the senator’s current thinking in enrolling in an ACA health insurance exchange, adding that the senator would make a decision shortly.

I think members of Congress should start issuing Executive Orders, countermanding Obama’s Executive Orders.

I think you are missing the point of what Ted Cruz is doing.

Well, I heard his Interview from one of the Morning Shows where he explained V-E-R-Y- S-L-O-W-L-Y to the Liberal Info Babe that he is signing up for the same Plan that Millions of Federal Employees haves signed up on.

Try as she might, she couldn’t twist his words. He simply told her that the Federal Healthcare Plans are BY LAW on the Obamacare Federal Exchange.

No, I don’t think so. Senator Cruz explained it very well.

He is following the Law, whether he agrees with it or not, unlike Lord Obama who gets to pick and choose.

Andy Borowitz is a New York Times best-selling author and a comedian...

If he's a comedian, he's not very funny or witty.
