Course if this had been Biden the right would have gone insane.....but come on folks. Lets be honest. These sort of things are hilarious.

Now if it was every single day...thats another story, but every couple weeks is not a big deal.
If it had been Biden he would have been trying to nuzzle the little girls neck.

According to the mom the kid was fine and happy during and after Cruz's speech.

Silly Liberals facts are for adults.

What an idiot, believing you could keep your doctor, if you liked your doctor, we have to pass it to see what's in it, etc. etc. etc. etc. At least according to Jonathan Gruber, and the folks he's working for.

BTW, Ted Cruz will be on the NBC Late Night show (12:35 EST) with Seth Meyers tonight. Maybe Scubby can tune in to see if Ted makes any mistakes, and of course, promptly report back to us.

CN.......

Didn't someone like Jon Stewart retire? Maybe Colbert will get a shot at Ted, if Ted gets that far.

How many morons can dance on the head of a pin?

This wasn't a flub. or a gaffe and the comment was 100% appropriate. The world is on fire and Obama is ordering more lighter fluid.

Cruz didn't tell a three year old girl her world was on fire, he told an audience of adults. The three year old was there with her mother.

I actually thought he handled it well, was quick on his feet and moved on with the rest of his talk.

Sen. Ted Cruz to 3-year-old girl: 'Your world is on fire'

Another gaffe by another Republican candidate, just like Jindal put it , a candidate from the 'stupid' party.

Is there any viable candidate on the Republican side ?
