Had a wingnut tell me that McCain's a military hero and Obama never held a job that wasn't paid for by the taxpayer. Who knew that naval aviators, congressional representatives, and Senators aren't paid for by the government?

Like, oh my god, I wasn't born yet, so how could I know about that? You clearly know everything, gosh!

I just thought of something, so I come back to the Wonkette to spasm it with my fingers:Cruz declared all kids off limits, including Hitlary's, and everyone else's, which means that each and every time deadbrightbart/wwjf/whatever make fun of the first daughters or Chels's growing brood, Cruz will be the first one to put the smack down on that. From now on, obvs, cause he does not have a time machine to go back to the 90's like some common Obama.Right?

Yeah. Cruz staffers are right now spending their Xmas Day combing through all past comments, writings, and "jokes" about Clinton and Obama kiddies so as to compile a "naughty, naughty" website on which Cruz hisself will roundly castigate on line, on Faux Gnus, and with apologies to both the Clinton and Obama families. When pigs fly and Huckabee becomes pres, you betcha.

And a pretty damn dull tool, at that. I thought that Canadian/Mexican steel took a sharper edge.

A gentleman's club in my town runs a toy drive every Christmas called Toys for Ta-Ta's. They set up a long, narrow tent, and, after donating a toy, you drive through with topless women from the club inside. The spirit of Christmas has never been stronger.

This has "passive aggressive" written all over it.

And let's face it. Cruz has no shame. And no conscience. And no scruples, ethics, or morals. And [fill in the blank]

No, no -- Trump is attacking the Washington Post for attacking Cruz' kids in the same way that Trump himself has attacked . . . oh, never mind.

He'll probably have 500,000 copies of the cartoon printed up to distribute to the Fox crowd to demonstrate how outraged he is by it. (Reminds me of the joke Woody Allen told in the opening of "Annie Hall" -- two women on a cruise or at a resort are discussing the food -- one remarks how terrible it is, and the other agrees and adds, "And such small portions.")

Thank goodness no one has ever made any kind of simian reference to any member of the Obama family.

Next up: Cruz will enter his kids into a Jon Benet Ramsey-style kiddie beauty pageant that sexualizes them.And then take to the Senate floor to denounce the sexualizing of young girls.
