Ted Cruz: ‘Asinine’ to pull reruns of ‘The Dukes of Hazzard’

WashPo ^ | 7/4/2015 | Katie Zezima

No, he meant “exercised”.

[Steely Tom]

No, he meant “exercised”.

I give up.

[nopardons]

No, Ted used the correct word; exercised also means angered and/or upset.

Cruz has a good grasp/unserstanding of the English language!

[Gefn]

I got his book on the 30th. Highly recommend. I’m actually listening to the audio version from Audible. He reads it!

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Hear, hear!

[VinL]

It’s not a common usage— I had to look it up. -:)

[Steely Tom]

It’s actually hard to believe that a female can look as splendid as Catherine Bach does in that picture.

Of course, it doesn’t last forever, as those of us who are of a certain age know only too well.

[CatherineofAragon]

I’ve been meaning to pick it up and haven’t yet...maybe I can remember to do it tomorrow. I’ll just write it down.

The audiobook sounds great! I might pick it up for the husband.

[fungoking]

So is the left saying if we get rid if the flag, the Dukes, and all vestiges of the Confederates, African Americans will quit killing each other?

"I give up."

Well, you've got to remember that people are responding to your first entry ... without going through and reading the rest of the responses. So they don't have any idea that someone else may have corrected you on that subject.

I should know .. I'm normally quite guilty of that myself.

[Steely Tom]

I know, I know. My comment will live in infamy. I’ll never live it down.

[South40]

You are absolutely correct.

[YouGoTexasGirl]

Yes, I am supporting him with $$ and prayer!! I pray he has the strength to make it another year in the spotlight and all the increased schedule commitments.

He’d make an awesome President and we need one NOW!!

[DoodleDawg]

There is very little going on with the Confederate flag these days that isn’t asinine.

[Gefn]

I love Audible, I listen to books on my iPhone.

Being against Daisy Duke is part of the ‘Rat war on wymyn.

[rikkir]

I’ll cut you a break Tom. I like you thought the word was misused, but I assumed it was the idiot reporter. Most of them don’t the brains of a dead house plant, but they all think they’re geniuses.

[MeshugeMikey]

Bright likened the removal of the flag to a “Stalinist purge.”

its an Obama Zombie PURGE

[Steely Tom]

Most of them don’t the brains of a dead house plant, but they all think they’re geniuses.

Yeah. Tell me about it.

Kind of like a certain President I could name.
