A Republican Calls Another a Fraud
By JIM DWYER
When Peter King is going to give you a sound bite, he lets you know ahead of time, so as not to insult your intelligence or, for that matter, waste your time if youre not that interested in the details.
But please, stay for the footnotes.
Here is Mr. King, a Republican congressman who represents Long Island, speaking on Tuesday afternoon about Ted Cruz, the Republican senator from Texas, who is bringing the federal government to the brink of a shutdown because he wants to cut all the money for President Obamas health care plan.
My sound bite is to say hes a fraud, Mr. King said. I start with that, and then I go on. It takes me two or three minutes to explain it.
