Rep. Peter King (R-NY) appeared on CNN’s The Situation Room Monday afternoon and when Wolf Blitzer asked him to explain his statement that compared Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) to a “carnival barker,” the Republican congressman opted not to walk back his comments but instead take about a dozen steps forward.

“We need intelligent debate in the country. Ted Cruz may be an intelligent person, but he doesn’t carry out an intelligent debate,” King said. “He oversimplifies, he exaggerates and he basically led the Republican Party over the cliff in the fall of 2013.

He can come here to CA and jump off the Golden Gate. If he doesn’t die from the jump, he might get hypothermia instead.

No, no. The Royal Gorge Bridge. The water down below is much colder but I guaranty hypothermia won't be a problem.

would anyone be mad at us if we helped him pay off?

Helping a frothing old lunatic to the side of the road* is only what any good citizen would want to do.

Good! Let’s hope he does.
How many GOP “moderate” squishes have to lose before conservatives say “Enough!”.

If there is a less consequential member of congress than Peter King, that person is the best camouflaged individual in the history of the universe...
