Texas Sen. Ted Cruz took the rare step of apologizing to his Republican colleagues during a lunch meeting on Tuesday for his procedural tactics last week which ended up forcing a weekend session.
“[T]he senator acknowledged that a number of his colleagues had to unexpectedly change their weekend plans, and he apologized to them for inconveniencing their personal schedules,” Cruz spokeswoman Catherine Frazier said in an email.
“That was not his intention; as he explained today in Politico, his intention was to secure a vote on President Obama’s illegal executive amnesty, and to use every procedural means to do so. He believed—and still believes—that forcing that constitutional vote was critically important, but he apologized for causing any personal hardship,” she said.
The news was first reported by Manu Raju of Politico.

Texas should apologize to everyone for electing this nitwit.
I still find it impossible to get my head around the reality that the Princes of Journalism there in D.C. talk to these guys regularly, go to cocktail parties and social events with them, deal with them day in and day out professionally, without noticing that the the majority of the Republicans in Congress are seriously mentally ill or, alternately, realize that more than half of them are either psychopaths or psychotic and yet think that is not a thing worthy of official notice.
I think it’s because they get a fat paycheck. I could be wrong and I believe I’m not.
Princeton should apologize for “educating” him.
