Cruz hits back at Boehner for telling him to 'go ---- yourself'
The Hill ^ | 02/26/21 | JORDAN WILLIAMS

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) hit back at former Speaker John Boeher (R-Ohio) on Friday after Boehner reportedly told the senator to "go ---- yourself" while he was recording the audio book of his upcoming memoir.

Cruz poked fun at the comments during his speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Orlando, Fla.

“You know yesterday, John Boehner made some news. He suggested that I do something that was anatomically impossible,” Cruz said. “To which my response was, who’s John Boehner?”

On Thursday evening, Axios reported that the former Speaker went off script several times during the audio recording of his book “On The House: A Washington Memoir.”

The former Speaker had tweeted earlier, "Poured myself a glass of something nice to read my audiobook. You can blame the wine for the expletives.”

Cruz should wear it a badge of honor. Nothing worse than a crying drunk....except a crying drunk who pretends to be conservative in order to enrich himself with lobbyist largess, I guess.

Think about what conservatives could have accomplished the last 40-years if we actually had elected members of Congress that represented the interests of the voters rather than the corporate donors.

If I was John Boehner, I’d do a loot of crying and weeping too. Every time I looked at a family photo.

I’ve never heard of John B. from Ohio, either.

Mr. Americana, I appreciate your excellent comments. High five.

He suggested that I do something that was anatomically impossible,” Cruz said.

Clint Eastwood came up with that line first at the 2012 GOP convention when he was speaking to an empty chair representing ObaMao. Too bad the guy he was supporting also turned out to be an empty chair. But he fooled a lot of us, not just Clint.

Ted’s ability to laugh at himself shows he’s a bigger man than Mr. Fake-suntan.

No wonder our nation is cooked. Look at the garbage that executed it.

John Boehner shot himself in the proverbial foot yet again.
Why say something so undignified and make yourself look even more foolish than you already did?

Calling Ted “Lucifer”? Come on, Johnny, get a grip.
Ted was probably flattered that he overwhelmed Boehner enough to still be stuck in his craw. It’s been years since they worked together, and Boehner is still spittin’ mad?

Does Boehner still have that Rastafarian Son In Law?
The one who looks like a doped up bum all the time.
When his daughter married this guy, many were saying she did it to rebel against her Dad.

How bad can Cruz be if Boehner hates him?

Cruz is a borderline limp wrist or he’d have smacked boner in the head with his first or a golf club...
