Reportedly the Senate GOP has written off Rand Paul and Mike Lee. They can't make them happy without too many losses from others. They are trying to figure out how to satisfy Cruz without losing people like Murkowski, Collins, or Heller.

Becuase it should be reposted at every oppurtunity

quote:

According to Franken, here’s how Klobuchar described the bit to Cruz (bear in mind that this was in 2013, when the infamous Carnival “poop cruise” was all over cable news): “When most people think of a difficult cruise, they think of Carnival. But we Democrats in the Senate think of Ted.” Cruz suggested she replace “difficult” with the softer “challenging” before finally allowing that she should “go ahead and tell your joke.”

Franken was irritated — both by what he called Cruz’s “patronizing” attitude toward his colleague, and by the pulled punch of a joke. So he suggested to Cruz his own rewrite: “When most people think of a cruise that’s full of poo poo, they think of Carnival. But we think of Ted.”

Now that’s a burn. Franken seemed satisfied with the reaction.

“And there went Ted’s smile,” Franken writes. “For once, he had no words.”

Wife's been reading Franken's new book, and apparently it's got a nice large chapter devoted to Ted. It's prefaced by calling Ted a sociopath.

No, those were his tax attorneys. (It's a legit specialty; most attorneys who handle other matters don't touch tax, because it's a real tough field.)

This attorney is the one who handles his private business, including sending angry "we're very cross and we'll totally sue you" letters-- I won't even charitably call them cease and desist letters.
