The stink wasn't off the misogynist, childish back- and- forth between Republican "presidential" candidates neo- fascist buffoon Donald "Rump" Trump and Sen. "Tailgunner Ted" Cruz over their wives when the sleazy tabloid National Enquirer published a "Ted Cruz Sex Scandal" story:The National Enquirer reported this week that private investigators were gathering evidence of the [five!] alleged affairs, and the tabloid claims to know the identities of the women — whose blurred photos are published in the print edition.
An unobscured photo of Donald Trump’s spokeswoman, Katrina Pierson, appears in the published report, suggesting she may be one of the alleged mistresses.First reaction: Ewwww. We need a shower, stat! Multiple affairs... with Tailgunner Ted? God- bothering, Jesus- endorsed, smarmy weasel Tailgunner Ted? Seems unpossible! There couldn't be that many soulless, power- hungry climbers willing to bump uglies with Tailgunner Ted (and with Cruz, we do mean ugly)!
Second reaction: The National Enquirer? Really? (Though, they were right about John Edwards' affair, so... )
"Some say" this smells like a plant from the Rump campaign, and there seems to be a strange silence from that quarter that could suggest they knew this was coming out and want the story to develop legs on its own. As expected, Twitter is going nuts (the #CruzSexScandal hashtag is trending), and some are also wondering "Where's that foul- mouthed Rump, and why isn't he weighing in?"
#CruzSexScandal trending and Donald Trump hasn't tweeted in 8 hours. Nothing makes sense anymore.— Bob Schooley (@Rschooley) March 25, 2016
BONUS: Charles Pierce puts it correctly: "Nobody wants to think about Ted Cruz having sex," and then points to a possible ratf*cker in the Legion of Trump as the "inside source" (spoiler alert: Roger Stone).
BONUS II:
BONUS III: Now a Stormtrumper and one of Tailgunner's alleged mistresses are going at it - live on CNN! More popcorn!If @tedcruz convinced five women to sleep with him, he's clearly a better negotiator than @realDonaldTrump. #CruzSexScandal— CCSUNY (@ccsuny) March 25, 2016
BONUS IV: Blowback from Tailgunner Ted! Keep the popcorn coming! Here's part of what the Tailgunner actually said about Roger Stone and Rump, if you can believe it:
"I would note that Mr. Stone is a man who has 50 years of dirty tricks behind him. He’s a man whom a term was coined for copulating with a rodent. Well let me be clear, Donald Trump may be a rat but I have no desire to copulate with him." (emphasis added)Presidential!
