Mark Helprin catches much-deserved flak

Talking air head Mark Halperin conducted an interview with Sen. Ted Cruz recently that set a new standard for hypocritical liberal bigotry (Ed Driscoll has the details). In short, Halperin asked Cruz a bunch of sophomoric questions about his ethnicity (Cruz is of Cuban origin), leading columnist Reuben Navarette to opine, "I kept waiting for Halperin to ask Cruz to play the conga drums like Desi Arnaz while dancing salsa and sipping cafe con leche — all to prove the Republican is really Cuban."

SooperMexican has collected some hilarious Tweets on Halperin's absurd and insulting interview here.

Update: Haw! Glenn Reynolds: "The most damning part for Halperin, though, is that basically nobody actually watched the show."
