Say what you will about Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, but the man can deliver a joke.

Speaking at Washington’s tony Alfalfa Club dinner on Saturday night, the Republican spared few targets, the New York Times reports. McConnell poked fun at himself, new inductee Mitt Romney, and fellow members of the U.S. Senate, including a particularly incendiary Tea Party Republican from Texas.

McConnell noted that Cruz — the anti-Obamacare crusader who spearheaded the 2013 government shutdown, thereby earning the enmity of many fellow Republicans — had once proclaimed that he would throw himself in front of a moving train, if that’s what killing health reform would take.

ALL the Republican LEADERS in the House & Senate hate conservatives. They have gotten rid of most of them now.

That’s their example of a burn? I need to call Mrs. Cruz and tell her to head to the drapery store, if you get my drift.

And these are our leaders for whom the Holy Bible says we are to pray.

When the going gets tough, the tough...just do it.

Would be nice to see McConnell fight democrats as hard as he fights conservatives.

Silly kidd, McConnell and the democrats are the same party!

The very same conservatives that held their noses and voted to keep the turtle in power. We deserve everything we get! It really is OUR fault. Not B!tch McNuttals, not Obola's - they fault lies directly with us, and our willingness to push the party left with our lesser of evils votes.

Yikes. My gadar is code red. That hand on his neck could be his own, with those nails. He looks like a figure skater.
