"Green Eggs and Sham" by Ted Cruz

Ted Cruz Reads a Bedtime Story

September 25, 2013
By Mario Piperni





Sheesh. How embarrassing.

Former New York Republican Sen. Al D’Amato 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 world’s greatest deliberative body Tuesday night.

Watch it above.

It wasn’t 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.

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.

He got a kick out of it.....really this was too easy....

I do not like him Sam I am...
I do not like the way he spams...
i do not like him in a bowl...
I do not like the way he rolls....

I do not like him in a dish...
at 21 hours he smells of fish...
I do not like him in the halls...
I'll bet he's got small smelly balls....

I do not like him Sam I am...
I do not like him sprayed with pam...
I do not like him on c-span...
I wish someone would throw a can....

I do not like him Sam I am....

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

Thanks @TedCruz for selling #ObamaCare to Americans
