What could possibly be funnier than Washington’s most hated senator posting punch lines on Twitter that only he could actually think are funny? That’s the sad state where we now find “Cancun”<\/em> Ted Cruz of Texas (as long as the weather is nice).<\/p>\n

\"Ted<\/p>\n

Back in February Cruz tried to skip out on his home state<\/a><\/strong> while it was in the midst of a historic and deadly winter freeze that left millions of his constituents suffering without power, heat, food, or water. He jetted off to the sunnier climes of Cancun, Mexico, to frolic at the beach of a seaside resort. The wingnut apologists at Newsmax<\/a><\/strong> thought Cruz would be more effective governing from there. But having been exposed for his callous selfishness, he rushed back to Texas to pretend to care, but then immediately left again for the CPAC convention in balmy Orlando, Florida.<\/p>\n

Pretty funny, huh? But nearly as funny as Cruz’s latest attempt at humor. Especially for a guy who has brought laughs to tens of people with his “War on Christmas”<\/em> book series<\/a><\/strong>, or his dramatic reading of Dr. Seuss’ “Green Eggs and Ham”<\/em> on the Senate floor during a filibuster. That’s particularly relevant now that Republicans are so obsessed with the imaginary “canceling”<\/em> of Dr. Seuss.<\/p>\n

What has tickled Cruz’s funny bone now is the “news”<\/em> that Raul Castro is stepping aside as the leader of Cuba. Never mind that that actually happened three years ago<\/a><\/strong> and today’s news is only that he’s relinquishing a largely ceremonial post. You just can’t stop a comic mind like Cruz who tweeted a reply to CNN’s Jim Acosta:<\/p>\n

…will become a reporter for CNN. https:\/\/t.co\/o6krIwXTyE<\/a><\/p>\n
