REEK! 🤣

[JohnQFunk]

So this happened this morning on CNN…

John Berman: Can I just say one more thing about Ted Cruz there? It's, like, 7:28am. Ted Cruz, do you know where your spine is? I thought he handled it better in 'Game of Thrones' when he was Theon Greyjoy to Ramsay Bolton, there. Honestly, that was like Reek! It was like the same as watching Reek in 'Game of Thrones' there, how he was addressing him. The power structure there.

Brianna Keilar: Did you just call him Reek?

Berman: I was so uncomfortable. I was so uncomfortable watching that.

Keilar: That is SUCH an apt metaphor!

Berman: Well, if the shoe fits or the codpiece fits…

Keilar: I don't know. I think that, you know, Tucker Carlson will be picking his teeth this morning with Ted Cruz's spine, is sort of what I think.

3. I must have dozed off!

I totally missed that. Thank you for posting it.

That codpiece comment could go two ways, either just meant as whose is bigger than whose or all the way to Reek having nothing left to put in a codpiece thanks to Tucker Bolton.

John Berman is a GOT fan. I knew I liked him for some reason more that just presenting the news to me early in my day. Those two make a good match for early morning news.

5. The codpiece comment is a reference to the notorious scene in GOT where...

Ramsay Bolton chops off Theon's… er, ahem, weapon.

9. I hope Ted does not have a sister! n/t

4. Where was Rafael when he made his statement ?

Is it part of the congressional record now ?

6. Thanks for the text OP!

8. A point missed is that this is nothing new.

Rush Limbaugh regularly had off-message Republicans on his show lickety-split to try out for the Olympic Backpedaling Team.

Republican pols have spent the last 30 years training for this Reek-y-ness.

11. There is a great meme...

…created when the Defeated Former Guy had the summit with Putin and believed his word over US intelligence. It edited a picture of both of them walking. Defeated Guy is on a leash Putin is holding and saying “My name is Reek!”

14. This one!

12. Ted's Texas accent, disappeared when he was telling the truth, came back on Fox

Is it my imagination? Or did he have to thicken up the Texas accent to go to grovel to Tucker

[BSdetect]

15. Cringeworthy Ted strikes again. Makes me shudder to see such groveling.

16. Not the first time Rafael has grovelled.
