MSNBCs Mehdi Hasan and Ayman Mohyeldin called out Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) for a cringe TV appearance where he sipped a beer angrily and said anyone who suggested that people limit themselves to two alcoholic drinks per week can kiss my ass.
Hasan said Cruz is more desperate for attention than any human being since perhaps the rise of Paris Hilton, and pointed out that his entire claim is nonsense.
The guidelines for alcohol, which currently suggest a limit of two drinks per day for men and one for women, arent changing anytime soon. If and when they do, theyll remain only guidelines, and people would still be able to drink however much they wanted, Hasan noted.
Its like the whole theyre coming for your gas stoves thing. Its a manufactured story to rile up the base, Hasan said. Its another reminder that no one has more contempt for the Republican base than Republican politicians like Ted Cruz.
Mohyeldin called it cringe and said it reminded him of the time Cruz released a video showing him cooking bacon on a machine gun and eating a tiny piece of it with a plastic fork.
Hes always clamoring for attention, hes always clamoring for relevance, Mohyeldin said. He feigns outrage. He pretends to be a tough guy.

(4,964 posts)Going around these days are all kinds of opinions on the health-sustaining limits of alcohol consumption. You are correct. The opinions are only suggested guidelines. Cruz is indeed trying to conjure a non-existent straw enemy to which he boldly bellers his vomitous insult.

(14,361 posts)That's a rude thing to say about the kids, especially since they're teens. The older one tried to unalive herself just last year and has publicly denounced her father, but she is only about 15.
