Sen. Ted Cruz continues to live rent-free in Harry Reid’s head … and it’s a beautiful thing.

After calling Cruz a “schoolyard bully” yesterday, Harry’s doubling down on the foot-stompery, pathetically pulling rank to remind everyone that Cruz is a junior senator — a “very junior senator”:

Sen Reid: “We’ve heard a lot from the very junior senator from Texas.”

Harry Reid: Consummate professional.

Classy. RT @nielslesniewski: Sen. Reid again calls Sen. Cruz the “very junior senator from Texas”

Hey @harryreid so in your own words you’re getting schooled by a “very junior” “schoolyard bully.” Man, a few rough days for you huh?

— Whitney Neal (@WhitneyNeal) May 7, 2013

No kidding.

Earlier today, Ted Cruz stopped Harry Reid in the Senate hallway and took his lunch money.

Also, his dignity. RT @exjon: Earlier today, Ted Cruz stopped Harry Reid in the Senate hallway and took his lunch money.

Harry Reid has a low standard for calling people “bullies.” One time, Stephen Hawking gave him a swirlie.

— Jon Gabriel (@ExJon) May 7, 2013

Heh. It’s just no fun being Harry Reid.

@whitneyneal @alexpappas Reid is obviously intimidated by him and does not like it!

— Gil DeStefano (@Gdestefano95) May 7, 2013

He should feel intimated. After all:

@amandacarpenter @toddzwillich Many people would prefer a “very junior” Sen. over a “suspiciously motivated” Senator.

Wanted Drug Lord Who Taunted Mexican Authorities Captured

Servando Gómez, who both liaised with and taunted authorities, was captured in Michoacán, his home state.

MEXICO CITY — The leader of the Knights Templar cartel and one of the most wanted drug lords in Mexico, Servando Gómez, was captured on Friday, officials said.

Gómez, known as La Tuta, frequently put on display his close ties to local politicians, releasing videos in which he either appeared with government officials or blamed them for wreaking havoc on the population.

The violence that the Knights Templar cartel unleashed under Gómez’s leadership led to the proliferation of self-defense groups in Michoacán State, the drug lord’s home state, turning it into one of the most volatile in the country. The federal government sent forces to the restive region last year, but Gómez remained at large and offshoot criminal groups continued to emerge.

In one of the videos that became his hallmark, Gómez appears with Rodrigo Vallejo, the son of a former governor of Michoacán. Vallejo appears relaxed, sipping a beer while talking about political maneuvering with Gómez.

Vallejo later said he had been kidnapped and forced to appear in the video.

“If the federal government and the state government assume their responsibility as good guardians and restore public order in the states, the towns, and the municipalities, we will put away our weapons and step aside,” said Gómez in another video, standing in a defiant position and speaking directly to the camera.

In a final audio released earlier this month, Gómez accused the recently founded Michoacán-based criminal gang Los Viagras of being “worse” than him. He said the group has no honor or loyalty.

Gómez was captured in Morelia, the capital city of Michoacán State. Former President Felipe Calderon, who unleashed a wave of violence across the country when he declared war on criminal syndicates in 2006, also hailed from the western Mexico state, which has been particularly battered by warring cartels and self-defense groups.

The Mexican government offered a $2 million reward for his capture. Gómez was also sought in the United States, where a 2009 indictment from the Southern District of New York described the Knights Templar as the newest Mexican cartels, “directly responsible for a vast majority of the methamphetamine pouring into our country across our Southwest Border.”

As news of Gómez’s capture emerged, Attorney General Jesús Murillo Karam was expected to step down. Murillo Karam’s handling of several high-profile cases, including the disappearance of 43 students in Guerrero, has drawn ire from many here.

That guy from that one show goes on an idiotic rant against 2A

http://twitter.com/#!/back_ttys/status/471464760178147328

He’s one of those verified Tweeters you’ve probably never heard of. Apparently he was in that show “Raising Hope” so if you watch that one you might know who he is. One thing for sure is that Lucas Neff is a typical gun grabbing Hollywood lefty without a lot of intellectual fire power when it comes to the Constitution. It looks like he had a couple of white wine spritzers and started feeling his oats tonight.

To all the right wing dudes and gals implying you'll shoot me on sight if I try to take your guns away.

1 I'm not fazed 2 proves my point— Lucas Neff (@RealLucasNeff) May 28, 2014

http://twitter.com/#!/RealLucasNeff/status/471459236006731778

I will be happy to come down and personally take your guns.

Unarmed.

With a ton of video cameras.

Let's see your alpha bravery in person.— Lucas Neff (@RealLucasNeff) May 28, 2014

Walking in unarmed to take someone’s guns would be a total Chuck Norris move, if you were Chuck Norris, and it might require the defensive use of firearms if the gun owner had weak Kung Fu.

On the other hand, chances are this guy would be met with—at worst—a sound beating, but probably only a wedgie … or maybe a swirly … a great deal of derisive laughter in any case.

Spritzer number 2 kicking in about here.

Yo dudes telling me I'm not intimidating.

I don't want to be.

I don't rely on intimidation to make my points.

Just reason and sanity.— Lucas Neff (@RealLucasNeff) May 28, 2014

Yeah, ok. Let us know when you’re going to start.

http://twitter.com/#!/RealLucasNeff/status/471469510717747201

Actually you’d prove that a dude with a gun killed a person. Drawing a generalized conclusion wouldn’t be any more reasonable than if we said—for example—your rant proves that “C-list celebrities with Twitter accounts say stupid things.”

http://twitter.com/#!/redsteeze/status/471469855124643841

And of course there’s that.

YO deejay run that back!

On the record…

FUCK THE SECOND AMENDMENT— Lucas Neff (@RealLucasNeff) May 28, 2014

And there it is.

you know what an assault weapon is?

any weapon you can use bullets to assault me with.

Merriam Webster. Or it should be.— Lucas Neff (@RealLucasNeff) May 28, 2014

I think we’ve already established that wouldn’t be necessary.

In the 19th century, I would've wanted to take away the constitutional right of slavery.

20th century: guns.

Const ain't always right.— Lucas Neff (@RealLucasNeff) May 28, 2014

The right to defend yourself, your family, and your property is just as bad as slavery. For serious.
