There’s No Greater Joy Than Watching Ted Cruz Humiliate Himself

—Dave Holmes at Esquire about Tucker Carlson destroying Ted Cruz in his interview

I've always wondered who I would choose in a cage match between Tucker Carlson and Ted Cruz.  Now I know the answer, I would cheer for Tucker. 

Hell, I AM cheering for Tucker.

As Mr. Holmes so aptly notes:

All living things are born with a desire to watch Ted Cruz be humiliated. It is natural and ineluctable, like the need for air. Even if you agree 100 percent with everything Ted Cruz has ever said, you have still imagined a scenario in which you see him in real life, he is eating a bowl of cereal, and you push his face down into it. In these divided times, it is comforting to know we can all come down on the same side of one thing, even if that thing is, “F%$# that guy.”

This is in the same vein as the famous Al Franken quote, "'I like Ted Cruz more than most of my other colleagues like Ted Cruz. And I hate Ted Cruz."

They were discussing the possibility (now reality) of a US strike on Iran, and Tucker Carlson did a commendable job showing that he knows nothing about the country that he wants to bomb. (I cannot believe that I am using the words, "Commendable," and, "Tucker Carlson," in the same sentence.)
