The Editor and publisher of The Nation, Katrina vanden Heuvel, tried to steer the conversation to the actual crises. She responded to the question about Ted Cruz and the Republican civil war regarding the debt ceiling vote by saying, “For the moment he’s marginalized. We need to refocus. The real conversation should be creating jobs and investing in this country, not manufactured crisis.”

Ted Cruz and the GOP are always good for a manufactured crisis. Our media helps them as well, and meanwhile the real issues get ignored. JOBS. UNEMPLOYMENT. MINIMUM WAGE.

As Peggy Noonan struggled to make Republicans sound less than crazy, Jonathan Karl went right for the sound bite, saying that Ted Cruz is so hated, he needs a food taster, “Ted Cruz is so hated among the Republicans. More so than the shutdown, the Tuesday lunch they have, he’s going to need a food taster. He had tough votes — He does have a high tolerance for personal pain.”

When Jonathan Karl, who passed Republican interpretations of Benghazi emails off as fact, comes down on a Republican, things are bad. Cruz might want to employ a food taster for real.

1. I so love to hear

negative things about Cruz.

[shenmue]

3. Me too! :)

I love it!

[shenmue]

2. Nobody likes him

He's got cooties!

[Politicalboi]

4. Not all poisons are instant

How long should Teddy wait and see if his intern croaks?

Enjoy the crow Ted.

[IrishAyes]

22. The plate of revenge is best eaten cold.

[n2doc]

5. If they don't like him, why do they vote with him?

Last debt limit bill, he nearly derailed it because not enough R's would break from his t-bagger group. They have the power to neuter him, if the have the guts.

[Myrina]

6. I think they hate that he puts their beliefs out there

Rather than hiding behind the "kinder gentler" bullshit while voting to squash the poor, Cruz just comes right out with it & then the GOP has to defend themselves.

[Curmudgeoness]

8. I believe that you hit the nail on the head.

He is voicing their true beliefs, but they don't want them out there in the light of day.

[elzenmahn]

16. Because they're bought and paid for....

...remember that the Brothers Koch had bankrolled the very train that Teddy Boy Cruz rode in from Edmonton, Alberta.

I can't figure out why Teddy Boy would want to leave the land of the Tar Sands. They should have kept him...

[tblue37]

24. Because they fear a primary challenge from the right, a Cruz gleefully demagigues against

any Republican who dares to votein the country's bezt interests. He jumped right in tocriticize Cornyn and McConnell for the vote his filibuster forced them into, even though both are in risky elections this year.

He is trying to knock down leaders in his own party, because he plans to take over.

7. that's what I was thinking..

"When Jonathan Karl, who passed Republican interpretations of Benghazi emails off as fact, comes down on a Republican, things are bad. Cruz might want to employ a food taster for real."

Well, it's somewhat comforting to know it's not just the Dems who think scruz is a slimely piece of shit.

Not only did ted cruz and his sycophants shut down the government, he lied to anyone who would listen that it wasn't him.. it was President Obama.

to look at him is to retch.

[elzenmahn]

17. I think it was the bitumen from the Alberta Tar Sands...

...that made Teddy Boy Scruz so slimy...

[BeyondGeography]

9. "As Peggy Noonan struggled to make the Republicans sound less crazy..."

[calimary]

12. Oh God, peggy noonan… Criminy!

I used to enjoy sharing "peggy noonan was reagan's 'Monica'". Figuratively-speaking. I don't think any actual deeds with or without cigars and thong underwear were done. But peggy noonan regularly embarrassed herself in her public swooning over ronald reagan. Obnoxious as hell, and never let up. She's really rather ridiculous.

And besides, there's nothing she, or pretty much anyone else, can say that can make the republic-CONS sound less crazy!

[rbrnmw]

14. My same thoughts

I bet Nancy and her were a bit chilly with one another.

[rbrnmw]

13. My thoughts exactly

I will add Pegs isn't exactly sane herself. She acts like she was in love with with St Raygun

[QuestForSense]

15. Too bad there's no one struggling to make Peggy Noonan sound less crazy.

[Gothmog]

28. I do not like Noonan

She is over rated and I have found her comments to have any merit

[wryter2000]

10. They created him with their hateful fantasies

Let them live with him.

[IrishAyes]

21. Yes, be careful what you pray for!!!!!

On the worst day of my life, the sight of a GOP circular firing squad lifts my spirits high.

[Iliyah]

11. Peggy Noonan is up there with the rest of the crazed gopers

and Jonathan Karl is still a repub shill. Nice to see them turn on each other. As apparent there is no difference between tea brats and the repubs. As to Ted Cruz, he is the product of this insane father who is far from being a Christian.

[yuiyoshida]

18. Does HE EVEN know it?

Clueless I bet....

[IrishAyes]

19. Couldn't happen to a more deserving rat.

[Rex]

20. YET he is all over print media...sigh...more of the BS that he is hated

MEANWHILE idiots and morans LUV them some Cruz in Texas!

[DeSwiss]

23. Ahhhh, the sound of freshly thrown grenades.....

...coming from wintertime's other favorite indoor bloodsport, Fragging Your Own. And from inside the Big 'Ol Republican Tent to boot!

- It may very well be that it's the Republican Party that's small enough to drown in a bathtub, before all's said and done.......

K&R

No more time.....

[babylonsister]

25. All we can do is hope!! :) nt

[davekriss]

26. There's no one more deserving than Cruz!

I'd say he had his 15 minutes of fame and we're done with him, however he is a theo-fascist psychopath and will likely continue to inflict pain on his fellow citizens in quest of personal fame.

Cruz = a*shole supreme!

[appacom]

27. Blame the 4th Estate for creating forums for these miscreants

[Gothmog]

29. Carnival Cruz beat a credible and almost sane Lt. governor

Carnival Cruz beat David Dewhurst who is or was almost sane for a Texas republican. Carnival Cruz relied on the nut cases in the GOP base for this victory. Carnival Cruz alienated the normal party leadership in that election and has continued on his path of destruction ever since

[raven mad]

30. "A house divided against itself cannot stand."

President Lincoln, I hope you were foreseeing the future of the current Republican party.
