Ted Cruz: 'Obnoxious' Al Franken hurled 'hate' insult for book sales

Minnesota Sen. Al Franken's decision to openly express "hate" for Sen. Ted Cruz this week was met with well-wishes by his target on Wednesday.

A promotional interview for Mr. Franken's new book titled "Giant of the Senate" included a smattering of personal attacks on Tuesday. The Democrat told USA Today that an entire chapter, "Sophistry," is dedicated to the "singularly dishonest" Mr. Cruz.

The Texan, however, tempered his response.

"Al is trying to sell books and apparently he's decided that being obnoxious and insulting me is good for causing liberals to buy his books," Mr. Cruztold Politico. "I wish him all the best."....

Actually they were only sold in the lobby of the DNC headquarters and at concession stands at the DNC's annual abortion and girls scout convention.

Ted should have just re published that pix of Al wearing the bunny costume and a diaper.

That book about aborting teenagers was probably a career best-seller.

Well, in 1989, Democrat Jim Wright, Speaker of the House,
sold thousands of copies of his book, Reflections of a Public Man,
to a lobbyist.
Of course, the lobbyist had no intentions of reading the thousands of copies.
It was just an excuse to give Jim Wright a big pile of money.

Looks like the "book advance $" has solved the problem of what to do with all of those books lobbyist had to buy.
