Sure, the loose-lipped Texas senator regrets making fun of Joe Biden during a Southeast Michigan dinner while the Democrat mourns his son's death.
And yes, it may stoop to the level of student council campaigning to post humor about Ted Cruz a day after his Howell non-howler.
Still, it seems timely to share some shots aimed earlier at the Republican who became a presidential candidate in March -- particularly one from Seth Meyers that turns around the quip Cruz just aimed at the vice president:
During a speech, Senator Ted Cruz said that if you walk up to someone and say "Joe Biden," the person will crack up laughing. Which is the same reaction you get if you say "President Ted Cruz.”
Here's a roundup from other TV funnymen:
David Letterman
- Ted Cruz could be president of the United States. And if you thought the Secret Service was drinking before . . .
- Ted Cruz was born in Canada, his father fled to the United States from Cuba, and yet Ted Cruz is against immigration. Isn't that odd?
- Little-known facts about Ted Cruz (from Top 10 list): Ted is short for Tedium. . . . He was never elected to Congress, he just started showing up. . . . He's already planning a failed 2020 presidential bid.”
Bill Maher
- Ted Cruz is half-Canadian and half-Cuban -- the wit of Justin Bieber combined with the people skills of Scarface.
- There were some people heckling Ted Cruz, and he accused them of being paid political operatives helping President Obama. Ted, don't you get it -- you're the paid political operative helping President Obama.
"Carnival is no longer the most dangerous cruise in America," says Jimmy Fallon..

- Republican Ted Cruz announced that he will run for president in 2016. So finally, Carnival is no longer the most dangerous cruise in America.
- Cruz said that after doing exhaustive research to see if he had a real chance to win, he said, "I'm gonna run anyway."
- Yesterday presidential candidate Ted Cruz said that he will in fact be signing up for Obamacare despite saying earlier that he wants to repeal every word of it. It's a good thing he's signing up, because Cruz just went to the hospital in hypocritical condition.
- "Republican candidate Ted Cruz said recently that in the 36 hours after he announced that he's running for president, he's raised over a million dollars. And Hillary Clinton closed her checkbook and said: "Happy to help. Can't wait."
"Ted is short for Tedium," according to David Letterman.
Conan O'Brien
- He pledged to lead America boldly forward into the late 1950s.
- His first commercial was in Spanish. Cruz said: "It's important for me to reach out to the people I'm trying to deport."
- Hispanic Senator Ted Cruz, who is fighting the immigration bill, described himself as Obama-phobic. You know you have Obama phobia if you'll deport immigrants even though your last name is Cruz.
- President Obama said the day after the budget deal is made he's going to concentrate on immigration. He says he'll start by deporting Ted Cruz.
