A Caning Will Do

Silly Steve M., we don’t need no stinking reprimands. We have precedent for this. If we want to make Sen. Ted Cruz behave himself, we just need to send Sander Levin over to the upper chamber to do a little Preston Brooks number on him. You know, learn him some respect, as they say down there.

Then Sander can pay a $300 fine, and we’ll be even.

I’m kidding, but there is something to be said for the old ways of protecting your honor. If you want to talk smack, you best be prepared to get smacked.
