Note to Senator Cruz: Good luck with that, you delusional snot-head.

In this post: Kvetch report, Senator Turd Cruz wins big.

It’s 5:15 a.m. and I’m on “dawn patrol” again today. I can’t be 100% sure, but I think the excruciating pain in my hands, knees and ankles woke me up! It’s actually so bad I almost couldn’t make it to the bathroom — a tragedy if there ever was one — and had to use BOTH HANDS on my cane to drag myself down the hall. I’m totally wide awake now after all that shlepping and moaning so you’ll probably be stuck with me for a while. Holy crap.

The Howdygram is pleased to present our latest Putz of the Week award to the tea party’s poster boy, Senator Turd Cruz of Texas. Cruz, who’s single-handedly flushing the GOP down the toilet, for which I thank him whole-heartedly, said Thursday that he supports the House GOP’s plan for a temporary debt-limit increase in order to refocus the government shutdown debate on repealing Obamacare. In other words, let’s just kick the debt limit can six weeks down the road.

The Senator’s plan is to use these six weeks to continue holding a gun to the President’s head in the spirit of typical GOP terrorism: “Dismantle the signature achievement of your administration and the major reason why you were re-elected by over five million votes and, in return, we’ll stop taking new hostages.” And then Senator Putz invented his own poll to prove that America hates health care and Republicans are winning the fight. Good luck with that, you delusional snot-head.

I think I should try going back to bed for a while. Thank you for reading this.
