Ted Cruz apologizes for Joe Biden joke

Washington (CNN)

Republican presidential contender Sen. Ted Cruz apologized for an ill-timed joke about Vice President Joe Biden Wednesday night.

While speaking at a GOP dinner in Michigan on Wednesday, Cruz delivered an oft-told stump speech line poking fun at Biden, mentioning his name and then saying, "You know the nice thing? You don't need a punchline," according to the Detroit News.

"Honestly, it works," Cruz said, according to the news report. "The next party you're at, just walk up to someone and say, 'Vice President Joe Biden' and just close your mouth. They will crack up laughing."

While the line is often well-received on his campaign trail, this time it fell flat. Biden's son, Beau, passed away from brain cancer on Saturday.

1. Making fun of people. Classy, and so presidential.

One way the parties are definitely different.

[MADem]

7. You've nailed it! nt

[Laura PourMeADrink]

20. Well, not here anyway. We make fun of people ALL the time. just sayin.

[arcane1]

24. True! I was referring to the politicians themselves.

They do with with region-bashing too: repubs do it shamelessly, yet I have never heard a Dem do it.

[peecoolyour]

2. Fuck that prick. nt

[shenmue]

3. Really dumb. He should have known from the news.

Crass and inappropriate. Never should have happened.

[KMOD]

4. How repulsive.

What an ass.

[Marie Marie]

5. Why would he know any better?

This is who he is. A narcissistic, self-absorbed, mean-spirited little prick. When someone shows you who they are - Believe Them.

[LittleGirl]

9. When someone shows you who they are - Believe Them.

^^^ That ^^^

I told my husband that just last week! I was right too, sadly.
Cheers.

6. The true compassion of Cruz...

and every effing GOPer.

They do not give a shit about Joe Biden and his family. He lost his wife and daughter years ago. Now a son who barely survived that first accident is dead at a very young age. Cruz and the rest of his ilk are soulless. They do not care about any of us. He thinks it is funny.

Imagine how he will treat the rest of this country.

I have to ask some DUers here that if Hillary is nominated you say you will not vote for her or you will write in green. Truly? Then here is who we will get, President Cruz. Soulless bastard.

[flygal]

8. As bad as his ignorant timing is

that's the "joke"?? That leaves them howling in the aisles??? Seriously - that's not even the least bit witty.

Oh and yeah - F U Ted (seriously could use a middle-finger smilie here)

[Cha]

15. I know.. it's their way to denigrate Joe because they've all been so brainwashed into thinking..

there's nothing more to the man. They're stupid.

Well, he sure took care of Paul Ryan at the VP Debates, didn't he?

INSTANT POLL: Joe Biden Shredded Paul Ryan In The Vice Presidential Debate

A CBS instant poll of undecided voters taken immediately after tonight's vice presidential debate found that Vice President Joe Biden handily beat Republican hopeful Paul Ryan among a group of undecided voters.

Biden got 50 percent of the vote, whereas Ryan earned 31 percent. Nineteen percent said it was a tie"

10. You've slandered all shit everywhere

The sanctimonious con wingnuts so confidently claim higher ground when it comes to morals and he is the sleaziest/creepiest of that disgusting, self-deceiving group. You know he has no idea or sense of the fact that what he did was wrong/classless--- some handler sensed blowback.

[workinclasszero]

11. Making fun of a man who's burying a second child in his tragedy filled life

Justice is going to reach out from across the universe and wipe the smile off the filthy evil face of Ted Cruz someday!

[workinclasszero]

12. Look at this POS republican presidential candidate as he smirks and walks away!

[hobbit709]

19. Whenever I see that smirk on his face I think of the class snitch at school.

[Cha]

13. JFC.. you MF dumb pos for brains. Good the little pipsqueak had to apologize and show

what an idiot he is, was, and will be forever more.

Keep up on the same gd page you idiot.

[Contrary1]

14. I'm glad Cruz showed what kind of person he is in such a public manner.

Mr. Biden will be ok. I'm sure he already knows that Ted is an asshole.

And now, everyone with an ounce of humanity does too. Some of his cult-like admirers will most likely be pissed that he apologized.

[Cha]

16. Exactly, Contrary.. thank you. Biden most definitely knows what an idiot cruz is and how he tries

to get by on being a bigger idiot each time he goes out in public.

This is just his biggest so far.

[spanone]

22. the real JOKE is that this story calls him a presidential 'contender'

now that's some funny shit there

[Nye Bevan]

17. Biden is ten times the man that Cruz will ever be (nt)

[hobbit709]

18. Ted Carnival Cruz: adrift, lost at sea and full of shit.

[TheCowsCameHome]

21. That pained look on his face

must come from slithering on his belly with the American flag pin sticking into him.

[MineralMan]

23. Ted Cruz's Mouth will ensure he is not elected.

That's my opinion.
