Cruz in legal process to renounce Canadian citizenship

[okaawhatever]

(CNN) - Sen. Ted Cruz has hired lawyers to help him get rid of his Canadian citizenship, the Republican from Texas told the Dallas Morning News in an interview published online Saturday night.

"I have retained counsel that is preparing the paperwork to renounce the citizenship," he said, adding he expects the process to be completed in 2014.

The first-term senator has said before that he wasn't aware he was still legally tied to Canada until the Dallas newspaper raised the issue in August, quoting legal experts who said the potential presidential candidate was technically a dual citizen.

"Because I was a U.S. citizen at birth, because I left Calgary when I was 4 and have lived my entire life since then in the U.S., and because I have never taken affirmative steps to claim Canadian citizenship, I assumed that was the end of the matter," Cruz said in a statement in August.

You have to love the last paragraph. He's stating how he was an American citizen at birth due to his mother being a US citizen. Kinda makes you wonder why they didn't think that applied to Obama. I feel a giant wave of hypocrisy about to hit.

1. And Canada weeps

I can hear the wailing in the street below my MIL's condo. It's cold but the populace is rending garments. There will no doubt be a lowering of flags and a week or two of official mourning.

Either that or everyone up here is breathing a sigh of relief and hoping the fuckwit actually tries running for President.

Ted Cruz, the man who jumped on the birther idiocy like a goat on clover, is finally getting around to renouncing his Canadian citizenship. Cruz says it’s just a technical issue. You know, like you can be technically pregnant without being actually pregnant. Or just technically dumb.

Ted assures us that he has nothing against Canada, but he’s unclear if Canada doesn’t have anything against him.

It all boils down to where Cruz’s mother was born and, of course, whether she was just technically pregnant with him. Where is Donald Trump when you really need him?

Personally, I think I could build a pretty damn good case that he’s a terror baby.
