Ted Cruz took the high ground in responding to that poo-flinging idiot Al Franken, who recently insulted him, saying he hated the good Senator.







Here’s how he responded, from Politico:

“Al is trying to sell books and apparently he’s decided that being obnoxious and insulting me is good for causing liberals to buy his books. I wish him all the best.”

Politico explained what was in Franken’s book about Cruz, in a clear attempt to goad him into sending back some more insults:

An excerpt of the book circulating online on Wednesday contained a passage in which Franken intervened in a joke Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) was writing about Cruz, with Franken cracking that Cruz is “full of sh–” like a Carnival cruise. Franken explained to USA Today that he described such private interactions because Cruz had already broke Senate protocol by saying Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) told a “lie” on the Senate floor. Asked about that logic, Cruz laughed and said: “Said what I’m going to say”

Good for him. He’d be punching down to wrestle with that dim-witted idiot.
