Cummings: Cruz 'Got An Earful' From Dems On Way To South Africa
Caitlin MacNeal – December 10, 2013, 6:01 PM EST658


Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) said Tuesday that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) "got an earful" from Democratic members of a Congressional delegation attending Nelson Mandela's memorial service in South Africa.

"I know he got an earful for 20 hours out and he's going to get another earful for 20 hours on the way back," Cummings told the Baltimore Sun about the trip with Cruz.

Cummings said that Democrats had a polite conversation with the conservative firebrand.

"He got an earful from many of us -- I mean it was a very good conversation, nothing negative," he said. "I just reminded him that I'm concerned about the many people in my state and his state who have no health insurance."

1. Is this a good place for: "In one ear and out the other"?

Seems like it to me. Cruz is an insensitive scumbag. He has no respect for the people he was with and therefore pays no attention to what they think, fell, or say.

2. Ubuntu!

Unfortunately for the people like cruz it will go in one ear and out the other.

Mahalo, babylonsistah!

3. They should do us all a favor....

instead of an earful, give him a parachute for his halfway trip home.
