Just saw CNN and Ashleigh Banfield just described the latest discussions about Health Care as "Sound and Fury".
How about some unintended irony?
Sound and Fury is based on some lines from Macbeth:
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
That almost describes Ted Cruz.

Cynicism, suicidal tendencies, and diminished mental capacity...sound like any party you know?

Senator MacCruz is already into Act III of a five-act play.

ps...The Sound and the Fury makes my head ache.
