Ted Cruz Reads a Bedtime StorySeptember 25, 2013
By Mario Piperni
Sheesh. How embarrassing.
Former New York Republican Sen. Al DAmato once sang Old MacDonald Had a Farm on the Senate floor. Current Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz may have topped that infamous feat by reading Dr. Seuss Green Eggs And Ham during his symbolic filibuster in the worlds greatest deliberative body Tuesday night.
Watch it above.
It wasnt the first time Cruz mentioned the Dr. Seuss classic in his bid to stall a bill that would defund Obamacare, a law that Cruz opposes. Earlier, he said his father, Rafael, invented the dish green eggs and ham.

(17,199 posts)Do you like the GOP?
I do not like them. No siree!
I do not like them in the House,
where endlessly they whine and grouse.
And in the Senate, maddening,
they filibuster everything.
Don't like them on the internet,
or lying on my TV set.
I do not like them so far right,
I do not like that they're ALL white.
I do not like them when they wink.
It scares me when they try to think.
I do not like their budget cuts.
I do not like that they are nuts!
If they're the face of Uncle Sam,
then Uncle Sam don't give a damn!
They like Tea, and green money,
but why, oh why, don't they like me?
They will not help me keep my house.
They do not like my same-sex spouse.
They don't like any news but FOX,
or black folks at the ballot box.
They don't believe in warming air.
They REALLY hate Obamacare!
They sham and slam and send out spam.
So sure I am, it's all a scam.
It's all for them, but none for me.
I do NOT like the GOP.

Green Eggs and Ham is about hating something, trying it, and finding out you like it.
