Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) fired off a patronizing tweet on Friday and received a series of blunt reminders in response.
Cruz, replying to Rep. Eric Swalwells (D-Calif.) criticism of his slow-walking of President Joe Bidens State Department nominees, wrote: Hush child. The adults are working.
Critics went to town on Cruz, recalling his fleeing on a family vacation to Cancun in February as devastating winter storms struck his home state. The historic freeze killed hundreds and left millions of Texans without power.
They also mocked his recent vital work of attacking Sesame Street character Big Bird for saying theyd received the COVID-19 vaccine.

(42,594 posts)before you say you don't like it as an argument against the Affordable Care Act. The man who only wanted people from major Ivy League schools in his law school study group. Maybe he should have started by working on his reading comprehension with a few kindergarteners.

(54,428 posts)He said, Cruz. I said, Lose!
That Cruz-you-lose, that Cruz-you-lose.
I do not like that Cruz-you-lose.
Do you like my phony ruse?
I do not like your phony ruse.
I do not like it, Cruz-you-lose.
Would you like it as a bore?
Like it on the Senate floor?
I would not like you, crashing bore,
I hate you on the Senate floor.
I do not like your big fat head.
I do not like it, Ted-so-red.
Would you like it bit by bit?
Would you like it full of shit?
Not with shit, not one bit,
Not as a bore, not on the floor
I do not like your big swelled head
I do not want it, live or dead.
I dont care for your phony ruse.
I do not like it, Cruz-you-lose.
Would you try it blowing smoke?
Would you like it served by Koch?
Not with smoke, not by Koch
Not with shit, not one bit
Not as a bore, not on the floor
I do not like your right wing blues
I do not like it Cruz-you-lose.
Would you like it on the moon?
Would you like it in Cancún?
Things are warmer there, they say.
I dont care, just go away!
You dont like it, so you say.
But listen one time, and you may.
Listen, and you may I say!
Ted, if you will let me be,
I will listen and youll see.
SAY! You really ARE quite full shit!
I like your drivel not one bit!
You really are a crashing bore!
You dont deserve the Senate floor!
And I wont listen in the dark.
I cannot stand your slimy snark.
And I would put you in a box
Cause you are stupid as an ox
And you deserve to wheeze and choke
Since you are only blowing smoke
All financed by the Brothers Koch,
All your future prospects dead,
Go put THAT in your big fat head!
We dont fall for your phony ruse.
We do not like you, Cruz-you-lose.

(53,410 posts)I have to do SOMETHING other than work to maintain the sanity. The Freedom Toast has been a satisfyingly intriguing hobby for 15 years now. As a satire/parody gig, we had kind of a dry spell during the Obama presidency. The onset of Trump reset everything, of course. Then we got together with the Parody Project, and we were a "full time hobby" again. We were even asked once when we would be touring in some fan's neighborhood. They must have thought we were Randy Rainbow or something. I had to explain that we were spread across nine time zones, three countries and two continents, and the chances of our ever doing a live performance were less than the chances that King Tut would return to rule Egypt again.

(47,560 posts)I remember him talking down to Diane Feinstein years ago on the senate floor, as if she was a child. That patronizing attitude is something his college classmates remember about him as well. He has been rubbing people the wrong way for a very long time and he still doesn't see what a fool he is to others.
He definitely has the most smug, punchable face in Congress.

(47,560 posts)as he is a United States senator and has a fair amount of influence. It would be easier to ignore him if he was just a private citizen. To me, people like Cruz are the face of 'fascism', so we cannot ignore them.

(22,156 posts)being a 'typical' motor mouth politician, I think of cruz and no one else (well, there are others just as bad, but cruz is getting my flak today).
cruz is exactly the 'scumbag politician' we all hear about.
