Ted Cruz isn't going to have the last word in his feud with former House Speaker John Boehner, as the lawmaker who branded Cruz 'Lucifer in the flesh' is set to have some fun before all of political Washington at the White House Correspondents Dinner, MailOnline.com has learned.
Boehner is still seething over Cruz having branded him 'Lucifer in the Flesh' during a Stanford University speech this week. Boehner repeated his 'son of a bitch' characterization when the DailyMail spoke to him at a low-key DC waterfront watering hole just as most of DC was heading to glitzy lobbyist-subsidized parties. 'After he got elected, he never spoke to me a single time,' Boehner fumed suggesting it was Cruz who was in bad form by not approaching the senior lawmaker with whom he had worked before. Cruz put it differently on Thursday, when he said: 'I've never worked with John Boehner I've never known the man' as a way of fending off Boehner's searing attack. Boehner did a video taping on Friday, suggesting he may play into some kind of a sketch Saturday night, but would only hint at what might be in store.
'Before the weekend, there'll be some news,' he said cryptically, after taking time to meet a group of young teachers at Jefferson Academy high school in DC. Boehner has also clashed repeatedly with Tea Party conservative members of the GOP-controlled House who favored no-holds-barred tactics including shutting down the government if necessary to meet their goals, so it's unclear exactly who might get branded in his routine. President Obama is set to speak at the dinner, while Larry Wilmore is delivering the traditional stand-up comedy routine.

Biden looks like he could be a pedophile.
Ted managed it all by himself. Some of his actions and words on the Senate floor (and about the rest) were designed to cut them deeply and it did - they reacted as they are predisposed to react - with spite and antipathy.
Funny how he does so much of that "unhelpful rhetoric" on the Senate floor then tries to berate Trump for speaking the simple fact that Islam hates us.......
If he can stand up, of course. It is absolutely delicious that a drunk who is now free to speak calls Cruz Lucifer. “Lucifer the Canadian Lawyer” sounds about right.
Teresa Heinz Kerry looked VERY bad last night. I am sorry for whatever she’s going through, but it doesn’t look like she is long for this world...
I saw Eric Trump and his lovely wife there last night, in addition to Donald J. Trump, Jr. and his lovely wife.
I agree, but we both know it'll never happen. The WHCA Dinner / "Nerd Prom" will go on forever, as long as there are TV / internet cameras.
I watched the entire disgusting thing on C-SPAN last night. That Wilmore "comedian" was beyond despicable. So was CNN's Don Lemon giving Wilmore the finger. And of course our "president" enjoyed the whole thing. He didn't seem to have a problem with any of it, and even laughed at being called the N-word by Wilmore. Unbelievable.
It was such an honor for 'zelig' and I to join you a couple of times at this fun, yet very important FReep. Of course so many of us often think of the great Doctor Raoul while watching the WHCA Dinner. He was priceless.
Maybe next year... Eagles Up! :-)
Ouch! I'm too familiar with broken bones myself, unfortunately.
Prayers for a speedy and full recovery, FRiend! Hope you're feeling better as I type this.
Meant to add this to my previous post to you: I saw the entire Red Carpet event (at least what C-SPAN presented on TV). Teresa Heinz Kerry could barely walk alongside her poodle John Kerry. She had to hold onto him tightly, and there was a young guy on her other side kind of holding her up, making sure she didn’t fall. I felt bad for her.
