Well, Cruz had already heard of King, that’s obvious. He’s merely lying, which is not newsworthy anymore.

I suppose you can’t expect a Canadian to be familiar with the career of a long-serving United States Congressman.

Weird, a choice between running a picture of Cruz or King and TPM used Cruz.

Once again Marshall’s man-crush shows through.

Take that Ted Cruz, Peter King is on TV all the time.

Very nice job of capturing the tone of the discussion, Caitlin.

Ted Cruz’s father, Pastor Rafael Cruz, anointed Ted as ‘King’ of the coming theocracy these adherents of Christian Dominionism intend for this country. Apparently that’s the only “King” Ted is concerned with.

And most of us wish we’d never heard of either one of them. Two bloviating whackos. As a New Yorker, about the best I can say is that I’m glad to live upstate, far from King’s district. It’s pretty bad when the best you can say about your congressman is that he’s not as bad as Mike Rogers.

Anybody want to take bets that Peter King will run for the GOP presidential nomination in 2016 specifically to stop Ted Cruz? It’s becoming increasingly evident that the two men really, really despise each other.

Ted Cruz & Peter King

Isn’t it amazing that the term ‘popularity’ is invoked by anyone when considering these two?

What a great country, huh? So many surprises.
