Get Off The Cross, Someone Else Needs The Wood

The man with Joe McCarthy’s good looks and Richard Nixon’s sweat glands, Ted Cruz wanted us to feel sorry for him, again:

“I would note that the last four questions have been, ‘Rand, please attack Ted. Marco, please attack Ted. Chris, please attack Ted. Jeb, please attack Ted.”

The question that resulted in that whine was asked of ¡JEB! the smartest Bush®, about how his plans to confront the jihadi group ISIS would differ from those put forth by Cruz and Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla. “It is a debate, sir,” Wallace said.

(In other words, “Do continue, Senator.” Heh.)

“No, no, a debate actually is a policy issue,” Cruz said. “But I will say this, gosh, if you guys say — ask one more mean question, I’m going to have to leave the stage.”

And unlike the vulgar talking yam (thanks Charlie) who boycotted the debate, the Ayatollah Cruz didn’t get the sympathy or martyr card he was looking for, or the laughter if that was supposed to be a joke. He just came across as a whiny brat. No More Mister Nice Blog has a great post up analyzing why it didn’t work. The short answer is that Cruz is no Trump.

But as always in these sorts of matters, we will give the last word to Heathers:

“…It’s just another case of a geek trying to imitate the popular people at the school and failing miserably. Is that paté?” –Heather Duke
