Goodness gracious — Ted Cruz must be lapping up the publicity he's been getting like a kitten with a bowl of milk.
The repulsive freshman Senator from Texas says he came to shake things up in Washington, but what he really wants is attention. So, we cats will briefly give it to him, but after that, we'll be done.
Why? Because we firmly suspect that sooner or later — probably sooner — Ted Cruz will be marginalized, not just by his 99 colleagues, but, more importantly, by his own party caucus. See, there's only so much individual brattiness the Senate will allow.
Heck, even Lady Lindsey Graham qualified some tepid praise with a warning. "I think [Cruz has] unlimited potential," he said. "But the one thing I will say to any new Senator — you're going to be respected if you can throw a punch, but you also have to prove you can do a deal."
(Get Lindsey past a primary challenge and safely re-elected in 2014, and you can bet he'll give the Lone Star lunatic a real bitch slap.)
As for the Democrats, we cats hereby decree: No members of our party will allow the very junior Senator's name to pass their lips without also saying the word "McCarthy" in the same breath. (Claire McCaskill and Barbara Boxer, go to the head of the class.)
In the meantime, Cruz is very much the Republicans' problem — so let's not interrupt the reckless behavior that's helping seal his party's fate. See, the country that dealt the GOP such a bad hand last November understands: Ted Cruz is so full of you-know-what, he should change his first name to "Carnival."
