(CNN) -- Ted Cruz is in for the fight of his political career. I'm not talking his possible run for president in 2016. I mean his fight with two far more formidable opponents: comedy and porn stars. This battle started last week after President Obama called for the FCC to back "net neutrality" for the Internet. As Obama said, at its core net neutrality means that Internet providers cannot act as "a gatekeeper, restricting what you can do or see online." Cruz responded, via Twitter, that "net neutrality is Obamacare for the Internet." This is nonsense, of course, but you have to give Cruz points for trying to conflate the unpopular Obamacare -- which, by the way is so loathed that it has exceeded its goal and has signed up 7.3 million people for health insurance -- with net neutrality. Although on the other hand, I'm surprised Cruz didn't claim that net neutrality is something supported by ISIS.
