Shutdown, Day 4: Republicans Hate On Cruz

By Zamboni

We cats are highly amused by a story that's leaked out about GOP Senators ripping into Ted Cruz behind closed doors.

As always, we wanna know who did the leaking. A panicked blue-stater like Kelly Ayotte? Or an aide who'd like to start getting paid again? We can't know. But whoever tipped off the media said that Ayotte, "furious" about attacks by the Senate Conservatives Fund, started what one Senator described as an anti-Cruz "lynch mob."

(Hm. Not a very sensitive characterization. We doubt that Cruz actually was terrorized or feared for his life as a literal noose was thrown around his neck. In fact, we're sure he reveled in it.)

Ah. well — since there were no cameras present, we're left to speculate. And, of course, enjoy the hilarity. That's because when Cruz got elected and the hapless Senate GOP was trying to figure out how to control him, they appointed him Vice Chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee. In the words of the famous quitter from Alaska, how's that working out for ya? We cats PURR.

P.S. Vice Chairman Cruz will join Ken "I Only Support Affirmative Action If It's For Fetuses" Cuccinelli at a right-wing gala in Richmond on Saturday. Turn out for the protest!
