Sen. Ted Cruz (R-8th Circle) remains the one Senator who absolutely nobody likes. He started as a complete fraud and remains vicious Ted Cruz to his enemies. (Which is everyone, since he has no friends.) Remember: this is a man who shut down the government in 2013 as a stunt.

I haven’t posted in a while, but trolling Boing-Boing yesterday, I saw The Daily Show’s video of Teddy’s origin story. I had to share.

Yes, vicious Ted Cruz: a crusty scab on the body politic; a smear on the road to better things; and a fart into the mouth of democracy. He’s today’s Republican Party embodied.
