And the race is on

Oh my! The 2016 GOP clown car has a driver and is sitting in the pole position for the race to the White House. Much to the delight of smart ass liberal bloggers throughout the land, Tailgunner Ted Cruz (R-Calgary) has announced his intent to be thoroughly mocked and soundly rejected by his own party pursue the 2016 GOP nomination for president. Yeah, I know, hard to imagine a redder piece of meat for the left end of the blogosphere. It’s only going to get better as the car fills up, in the coming months, with other fluffers of the GOP psychward announcing.

My first reaction was to spew bourbon all over my monitor, my next move was to get the hand lotion and wet naps because, holy shit, this is going to be fun. I just hope he doesn’t flameout too quickly, there’s a lot of crazy-stupid burning in this man. One of the Tailgunner’s endearing qualities is that he’s never had a stupid thought cross his mind that failed to come out his mouth.

Admittedly, that’s a short trip, but even though he has President Obama’s education he is apparently driven by the politics and intellect of Sarah Palin.

True to form, Calgary Ted wasted no time spouting some breathtakingly stupid from his piehole. Here’s a taste:

Speaking to the Texas Tribune on Tuesday, Cruz said that contemporary ‘global warming alarmists are the equivalent of the flat-Earthers.

‘You know it used to be it is accepted scientific wisdom the Earth is flat, and this heretic named Galileo was branded a denier,’ he said. 

In Cruz’s opinion, when it comes to climate change, his denier position places him alongside 17th Century scientist Galileo Galilei, who was also considered to be denying the mainstream knowledge of his day. According to Cruz’s logic, he is taking the minority view that human-caused climate change is not happening, just as Galileo took the minority view that the scientific method should be trusted over the Catholic Church.
