Now that the current government shutdown appears to be over, Tea Party terrorist Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) seems to be quite oblivious to the damage caused by the shitstorm he basically started.
It is rather pleasant, however, to see that blubbering blowhard Rush Limbaugh calling the whole Koch brothers-orchestrated shutdown and debt limit debacle, “one of the greatest political disasters I’ve ever seen.”
Speaker of the Crazy House John Boehner was completely powerless to the lunatic fringe in his own party, who steadfastly refused to budge on the impossible demands to defund and/or delay Obamacare. At one point in the whole ridiculous process, House Democrats even reportedly offered the Orange Guy a deal in which they would help him keep his Speakership if the Tea Loonies launched a challenge vote against him.
But in the end, President Obama and the Democrats basically pulled off a significant victory in not caving in to the extortion tactics of Teddy Cruz and his band of Teabillies. Boehner, left pummeled and violated in a ditch, said, “We fought the good fight. We just didn’t win.’
Ted Cruz will be ok, though. His whole Greek tragedy performance has given the mentally-challenged Tea Party of his base a bunch of tiny shriveled, white stiffies, and the Senator from Texas remains defiant in his bomb-and-run style of “governing”.
No doubt Cruz will do whatever it takes to keep himself in the spotlight. Hey, this continuing resolution and debt limit crap will be back again in a few months.
Will the (relatively) sane members of the GOP have the Hannibal Lecter masks firmly in place on their psychotic brethren by then, or are we going to go through this shit all over again next March?
