On last night’s show, Jimmy Kimmel teed up a skit featuring Billy Crystal as God and Dave Grohl as Satan. The skit ended on a high note — a swipe at Ted Cruz, naturally:
GOD hanging with SATAN himself! The end times are near… @BillyCrystal #DaveGrohl #Snaketivity pic.twitter.com/aijObdhDbb

Needless to say, Cruz wasn’t terribly amused. But he did manage to return fire with his own dig at Kimmel:
Really getting into the Christmas spirit, Jimmy Kimmel just aired a skit with “God & Satan” arguing and eventually deciding that I should go to Hell. It’s almost as if Jimmy’s feelings are still hurt that I kicked his ass at hoops…. https://t.co/FuehUsGHwX

Maybe next time Kimmel thinks about dunking on Ted Cruz, he should consider Iowahawk’s idea:
I think if you you get beat by Ted Cruz in basketball you should have to wear a shirt that says “I got beat by Ted Cruz in basketball” for the rest of your life, and then be buried in a tomb that says “I got beat by Ted Cruz in basketball”
