I got one for you..

"Ted Cruz, Rand Paul want drone language in CR

Ah, so Rand Paul is not done blathering on about drones.

You see, I was under the impression, wrongly in this case, that all the tea party dude wanted was a note from the AG saying the president could not use drones against non enemy combatants domestically, which he got.

Now that he has garnered that little moment of fame that has his followers swooning, he wants to put into a continuing resolution attached to a spending bill that would prohibit what the AG has already said is illegal.

This is what happens when bad conspiracy theorists get a hold of a notion and get some free
publicity out of it. Is this really what Kentucky sent this guy to the senate to do? Waste weeks prattling on about things that have never happened, that he knows will never happen, and once he gets his little note will prattle on about it forever?

Why does this garbage always get tacked onto bills that have nothing to do with it? Left and right, they both do it, know that a bill will pass so they shove a little chunk of legislation for the nutjjobs that follow them.

Fear not though people! Though he has not made the news for an outrageous statement in almost a week, Ted Cruz is jumping into the mix, getting himself a bit of free publicity out of it.

Hmmm. Cruz and Paul. Two peas in a pod when it comes to pining for the spotlight."
