In reply to the discussion: Houston Chronicle: "We're sorry we endorsed Cruz" [View all]Gothmog
(180,291 posts)54. Juanita Jean has some choice words about the Houston paper

Well, thanks a bunch Houston Chronicle. And if I can pull my tongue out of my cheek, Ill tell you why your big ole pile of festering idiocy makes you look even dumber than you suspect.
Back at election time, you endorsed Ted Cruz and now youre sorry that you did. Well, isnt that special?
First off, by endorsing Ted Cruz you endorsed a man whose supporters cant read. Well, maybe they can read the Drudge Report but even at that their computer screens are covered in Cheetos smudge marks because they have to point at the words as they read them. So whats the point of endorsing a man in the damn newspaper when youre just gonna piss off people who can, indeed, read.
Second off, hollering whoa way past the saloon door leaves you and your horse looking mighty dumb. Did you just now notice that Ted Cruz is a box of crayons short of a full fledged kindergarten class? You just came around to that way of thinking yesterday? Where the hell have you been?
And on the freekin front page you have the unmitigated dumbassery to ask, Coup for Cruz, At What Cost? Oh, I dunno, the United States of America? Go find whoever writes things for your newspaper and fire them. Right now. Before they break something else.
Third off, by endorsing Cruz you have caused David Dewhurst to move from moderate to raging tea party drooler. Well done. Why didnt you just go get a stick and beat all the moderates into submission?

Too bad Texas can't keep all their crazies there: Cruz, Gohmert, Rove, Cheney, Bush, etc.
