Does anyone else think that the Cruz/Carlson thing was a set up to give Cruz the

opportunity to "redeem" himself with the repukes?

1. No. Teddy stepped on his own membrum virile and couldn't figure out

how to pretend he didn't. So he groveled.

2. Membrum virile?

Reek Cruz (R-Alberta) lost that to tRump over 4 years ago.

3. I wrote about that this morning.

I've gotten so cynical about these repuqs and the RW media that I have a hard time believing anything they do is real. I think a lot of it is theatre to feed to their lemmings.

[Bristlecone]

4. I think everything in that channel is staged theater. Yes.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

5. Yes. Cruz was just doing Kabuki penance for the viewers.

Any actual spanking he got occurred off-camera well before the show.

6. Stumbling Cruz will be confronted with this performance for the rest of his life.

Maybe it will result in his demotion to a job that matches his skills: separating beer cans from garbage and returning them to the local aggregator for 5 cents each.

That's a long plunge for a person who saw himself as either POTUS or a Justice on SCOTUS.
