No, seriously:
Reid calls Sen. Cruz a ‘schoolyard bully’
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) called freshman GOP Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) a “schoolyard bully” during a contentious exchange Monday on the Senate floor.
The two senators bickered as Cruz rose to object to Reid’s motion to appoint conferees to a House-Senate budget committee.
Cruz said he was concerned that the conference report—which cannot be filibustered—would be used to raise the nation’s debt ceiling. He asked that Reid amend his motion to go to conference to make out of order any provisions raising taxes or raising the debt ceiling.
Reid said Cruz had a chance to amend the Senate budget—which raises $975 billion in new tax revenue from tax reform—when it was considered on the floor.
He said Cruz’s request to eliminate all taxes in a final House-Senate budget was absurd.
“The senator from Texas was on the losing side…now he wants us to adopt the losing side’s view or we cannot go to conference,” Reid said.
“My friend from Texas is like a schoolyard bully,” Reid added.
“He pushes everybody around and is losing and instead of playing the game according to the rules, he not only takes the ball home with him, but he changes the rules that way no one wins except the bully who tries to indicate to people that he has won.”
Cruz, a Tea Party darling whose rhetoric has sometimes raised eyebrows among Republicans, shot back that “I wasn’t aware we are in the schoolyard.”
I guess somebody forgot to tell Ted he’s gotta wait 20 years before he speaks up while the Senate is in session.
well bill richardson said he is not hispanic enough, so I guess he has no right to speak out on immigration after all they are not his people
dingy harry should go back to his cowboy poetry

Why not, it works for Obama:
WTF? She could have just applied to the Pigford settlement. That was at least a legal way to get her reparations.
LOL! Yep, earning a few million and not paying taxes on it is just like slavery. The judge should have given her a few more months just for that bad comparison.
She doesn’t look like a Tea Partier.
She’s the perfect example of why one should never take political advice from entertainers. The deeper the talent the shallower the intellect.
$1.8 million for a 2 year tax period? Romney pays twice that in a year — yet Hill was very vocal in her anti-Romney/pro-Obama rhetoric.
Fucking hypocrite — she should get 3 months just for that.
Yeah, but she earned her money.
Poor Baby. 🙂

““He pushes everybody around and is losing and instead of playing the game according to the rules, he not only takes the ball home with him, but he changes the rules that way no one wins except the bully who tries to indicate to people that he has won.”
May 31, 2008 comes to mind Harry.
That analogy is complete lost on the progs.
My immediate thought was the way Dems passed Obamacare.
I’m beginning to think Reid may be getting senile.
Too late 🙂

Totally off topic, but this story has me gobsmacked. http://www.cleveland.com/metro/index.ssf/2013/05/tv_station_reports_berry_dejes.html
Tomorrow should be an interesting news day.
Absolutely. I can’t wait to find out more, and I’m not saying that in a gleeful way. We all need to know the truth of just what the hell went down there over 10 freaking years.
And an internet star is born (guy who helped free Amanda Berry):
Yeah, he was great, even with the bit of obnoxious race-baiting at the end of the interview. But what he did was awesome, and god bless ‘im for it.
AMEN!!!!! 🙂

Sheesh!
When I was in school, actual pencil stabbings were pretty common. The boys would brag about how many layers of skin they had pierced. I’m pretty sure they did it to attract girls, judging from all the pencil scars my husband has.
I bet that would be a felony today.
I still have a pencil scar/tattoo on my forearm where I got stabbed in 7th grade.
The one in the palm of my hand is badly faded and barely visible now.
