Cicero, Latin, Ted Cruz, & Google.

http://thevintry.com.au/product/congratulations-wedding-or-engagement-handmade-gift-card/?relatedposts=1 A friend posted on Facebook the following rant after the idiocy of Ted Cruz, who rather obviously never reads Cicero and is full of it, quoting the First Catilinarian against Obama:

Beshkent A friend posted this about Ted Cruz invoking the 1st Catilinarian:

sponte sua mihi in mentem maledictio illa subit, quae apud Plautum legitur: ‘abi in malam crucem.’ uereor autem ne posthac id melius decentiusque dicatur, ‘in malum Crucem,’ ob istum scilicet μωρόσοφον Texanum, senatus nostri, ordinis reuerendissimi, magnum dedecus, quippe qui hodie orationem apud patres conscriptos habuerit, in qua personam Tullianam induxit et Praesidem Obamam cum Catilina comparauit. di melius! hoc salsum esse putas? fugit te, inepte: quamuis sordida res et inuenusta est.

Which is beautifully said.  And Googletranslate did the following to it:

‘to me of their own accord into the mind of the curse that comes up, which are among the Plautus to read: ” go hang the cross. ‘ I fear , however , that hereafter it is even better decentiusque it is said : “In the Cross of evil , ‘ that is, μωρόσοφον Texanum on account of this , the Senate of us, of the order of most reverend , a big disgrace , inasmuch as he has had this day been composed with the prayer in the Senate , and President Obama has introduced in which the person of the Ciceronian compared with Catiline . di better ! This is witty? It escapes you , foolish man , although the thing is as dirty and unattractive’
