Putting the "Miss" in Cruz Missile
Y'know, it's pretty impressive when someone can go from being ridiculed and shamed with a nickname like "Cancun Ted" and then get pushed aside within a short period of time as "Fist Bump Ted." But if anyone could do it, Ted Cruz probably would have gotten a lot of votes.
By the way, I remember when Barack and Michelle Obama gave each other a happy fist bump, and the Republican Party and Fox "News" went mad-crazy over calling it a "terrorist fist jab." Of course, there's a wee difference -- the Obamas were celebrating him winning the Democratic Presidential Nomination. Ted Cruz and his GOP buddies were celebrating that they'd blocked veterans from getting healthcare, notably for those getting sick while in service from toxic burn pits.
Thanks to reader John Kurko for bringing to my attention this great response from Jon Stewart to Ted Cruz's video trying to explain his actions. It's impressive when someone can be funny while outraged, furious fact-checking.
