8-minute standing ovation....

<snip>
Eight minutes can be a really long time. It’s about the amount of time it takes light from the sun to travel to the earth. Or in more earthly terms, it’s twice as long as Gary’s never-gonna-happen fantasy about Piper Perabo. But if you are an addled, half-brained drooling Tea-jadist, then it is just the right amount of time to give a standing ovation to Texi-Canadian ass-monkey Ted Cruz:

Republican Sen. Ted Cruz received an eight-minute standing ovation upon his return to Texas this past weekend, despite an extended, hostile campaign from Democrats and the mainstream media to portray him as a dangerous extremist.

Thanks, Daily Caller, for noting that the hostile campaign to portray Ted Cruz as a dangerous extremist is a ludicrous notion from the MSM and crazy libruls. Because causing billions of dollars to the economy FOR NOTHING is totally cool and not dangerous or extreme at all, no siree.

Anyway, WTF, Texas?!?! An eight-minute standing ovation for this buffoon? If you like him this much, please keep him. Seriously, appoint him head of your Canadian relations or something, but whatever you do, please don’t send him back to D.C. because he sucks harder than Rick Santorum at the annual Pennsylvania Goat Blowing Championship.

I would have noticed that. He may have gone into some republican den and gotten said ovation, but it's not as if the entire state of Texas turned towards Houston or wherever the fuck he's from and applauded.
