I guess my sense of humor towards the GOP is returning... slowly.
How about this headline...

The Houston Chronicle Un-Endorses Ted Cruz
Quote:
<snip>
Who would have guessed that, just one week later, the conservative Houston Chronicle
—the newspaper that handed Cruz a critical and key endorsement in his campaign
to become the next senator from the Lone Star State—would agree with me by way
of publishing something you just don’t see every day—an un-endorsement of Senator Cruz?
Under the title, “Why we miss Kay Bailey Hutchison”, the editorial board
of the newspaper published on op-ed Tuesday evening wherein they write*—
Quote:
“One reason we particularly believe that Hutchison would make a difference
in these hectic days is that if she had kept her seat, Cruz would not be in the Senate.
When we endorsed Ted Cruz in last November’s general election,
we did so with many reservations and at least one specific recommendation
– that he follow Hutchison’s example in his conduct as a senator.
Obviously, he has not done so.
Cruz has been part of the problem in specific situations where Hutchison would have been part of the solution.”

UPDATE: October 16, 2013 4:48pm:
I’ve just had a phone conversation with Veronica Flores-Paniagua,
the Outlook Editor for The Houston Chronicle, who states that the paper
did not un-endorse Senator Cruz but were merely being critical of him.
It should be noted that when I asked Ms. Flores-Paniagua if the paper
would endorse Senator Cruz if the election were being held today,
she chose not to respond to the question.
