Rats and Republicans

Never knew for sure where the expression came from that my grandmother voiced to my brother and me from time to time, “You lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas,” but whether or not it was original with her, that probably wasn’t vital to her concern; only the intent to make a point for her grandsons.

 

I’d like to pass it along to Ted Cruz. If the Senator (I’m from Texas) thought he could, as Ronald Reagan mistakenly thought as well, come into the Republican party’s party and with a slight finger snap or pursed lips “psst” reveal himself as a dog whisperer and clean the political fleas from the ghastly flotsam of party-political neocons and pseudo-intellectual hounds from hell, he either isn’t as smart as I think he is or he fell for the same madness that the aforementioned Reagan did. Men like Rudy Giuliani, Chris Christi, Mike Huckabee, Lindsey Graham and the prize of flea carriers Haley Barbour
