The shutdown blame game and continuing civil war has gone from absurd to
downright hilarious.
WASHINGTON — Rep. Devin Nunes, a conservative Republican from California’s Central Valley, on Monday accused freshman GOP Sen. Ted Cruz of lying to House Republicans that they could dismantle the Democratic health care reform law known as Obamacare by forcing a government shutdown.
Nunes, R-Tulare, said the strategy pursued by Cruz, a Texas freshman, and to a lesser extent Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, is “based on a false premise” because Republicans can’t get two-thirds votes in the House and the Senate to override President Barack Obama’s veto when he rejects any bill that ends his signature law.
Yes, Ted Cruz made them all stupid. And unable to count! This, by the way, is coming from the guy that
called his fellow House Republicans "lemmings with suicide vests." He's also the guy, along with more than a dozen of his supposed revolting Republicans, who
failed to prove he's not a lemming when he had the chance to do it.
But he's got a helluva re-election theme for 2014: "Don't blame me ... I'm just stupid!" Or, he could put his name where his mouth is.
