It reads like a radio DJ joke:

"Looks like Ted Cruz humiliated as Pecker spills beans on Trump's vicious insults.

Ted Cruz just learned the hard way—dealing with a little Pecker can be really embarrassing!"

(pregnant pause)

"And heres Taylor Swift..."

Can someone with no sense of shame actually be humiliated, though?

Kindof the Republican version of "If a tree falls in the woods, does it make a sound?"

As melon scratchers go, that's a honey doodle.

Enquirer headlines from the period attacking Mr Cruz included: "Ted Cruz Sex Scandal – 5 Secret Mistresses", "Ted Cruz Shamed By Porn Star" and "Perv Ted Cruz Caught Cheating".

They might have been even more compelling headlines if they each ended with "in Cancun", but anyway.

And Greg Abbott. There's plenty of shame to go around. Not that they are capable of shame, empathy, kindness, or other normal human feelings.

Texas sure has several strong contenders for being the biggest disgrace.

When Cancun Cruz was asked what he thought of Pecker's testimony, he sniffed sanctimoniously that he is "not interested in revisiting ancient history." I'll bet. I can only imagine how humiliating it must be for Cruz to have to humble himself before the man who publicly shamed him, all to keep his seat in the Senate where no one likes him anyway.

On days like these, Ted probably wishes he had pursued his dream of making a "teen tit film" rather than becoming the disgrace of the Lone Star State.

Sure thing . . . Ted

he is “not interested in revisiting ancient history.”

Except when the SCOTUS and state courts are ruling on modern cases. Like taking away women's rights.

haven't you learned anything yet, teddy cruz cannot be humiliated by anything ever, it's not possible, he'd have to care what anyone thought of him, and he clearly only cares about retaining power at any cost. these schadenfreude bullshit headlines presupose people like cruz can be humiliated, and therefore attempt to suck in eyeballs to "feast on the joy of other misfortune". cruz couldn't give a single rat fuck about any of this, all he cares about is being re-elected, and as has been shown the monsters of the state of texas couldn't give a shit about it either.

You give him too much credit.

He's too stupid to understand he's being humiliated.

A lot of conservatives are. Think about the mindset. Conservatives crave authority. Authoritarianism, the strong man, a daddy figure even. That's the heart of conservatism. They want to follow something. They want someone to tell them what to do. It leads right into the fetish.

So, you no longer like watching your wife have sex with other men because trumpets coopted that word?

That sucks!
