    Ted Cruz, A notorious pervert (College room mate)

    By jollyroger on Sat, 01/30/2016 - 4:04pm |

     

    While we wait to see if the Iowa caucus turnout favors Cruz (120,000) or Trump (160,000) it is mindblowing to step back and fully internalize just what a profound creep Cruz is.

    The oily Uriah Heap act is evidently a truly transparent look into his grimy soul.

    Consider that he is so despised that otherwise sane Republican sachems (eg, Bob Dole, Richard Burr) publicly state acceptance of Donald Trump as the party nominee before Cruz, and Trent Lott dismisses him "He is not a gentleman. Gentleman respect each other ".

    But the weirdest contribution to this gonzo inventory is the story from his Princeton room mate detailing Cruz's practice of donning his thin cloth bathrobe (and NOTHING ELSE) and then making himself conspicuous at the curtilege of the women's area of the dorm.

    It's not quite a raincoat by the playground, but it's right there on the spectrum.

    We are  spared (thus far) any details involving self-pleasuring, although the girls, by report, declared themselves to be thoroughly creeped out..

    Comments

    It's kind of odd that no women from that time are coming forth with icky stories about him. I certainly would, even if to just show how much I had come up in the world since then.

    you mean icky besides the be-bathrobed lurker?  Maybe he never actually had the nerve to date

     

    Perhaps if Cruz survives the Iowa confrontation, Trump will put out a bounty for date-night horror stories from Princeton..

    Jezebel did a piece in December, maqybe the floodgates are about to open...

    Usually people don't want to put themselves out there and face all the attacks that will come. If he comes close to winning or if he wins the nomination people with stories will come out and face the public scrutiny and attacks that come from going public.

    Where is Larry Flynt when we really need him...


    by jollyroger on Sun, 01/31/2016 - 10:36pm

    Well, Jolly - you're playing quite the double-side of the coin - Larry Flynt is king of misogyny - what was the Steinem piece on his unlikely position as defender of free speech through torture/gangrape/concentration-camp porn or her decrying his photoshopping a dick in the mouth of a female politician. While you get a jovial reception here, I'd imagine with your constant referral to pussy that in a dorm-room setting you'd be largely remembered as creepier than Ted Cruz. Whatevers. It's election year.

    creepier than Ted Cruz.

     

    Wow! You really know (as the saying goes ) how to hurt a guy!

     

    My references to the pitiable Mr. Flynt were limited to his prior manifested eagerness to purchase the cooperation of otherwise silent sufferers with first hand knowledge relating to the hypocrites in question.

     

    That don't make him a good person!

    Well, aside from Larrys work finding hypocrites during Clinton's impeachment, I wouldn't want to encourage career as bottom drawer panty sniffer, thanks.

    As for Cruz I don't find the reference that he was wearing nothing under his bathrobe, but whatevers. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/08/19/ted-cruz-at-princeton-c...

    He doesn't come across as that horrid.

    What’s worse than Ted Cruz in a paisley robe and nothing else on underneath? Ted Cruz in a paisley robe with nothing else on underneath that STINKS. Apparently, he had a hygiene issue. @visentin T


    by jollyroger on Mon, 02/01/2016 - 5:35am

    That was a non-roommate's summation, with an uncomfirmed "nothing else on underneath". That's how stories grow on the internet, piece by piece, ad-lib by ad-lib.

    Anyway, I think it's ridiculous to traipse through a 17-year-old's freshman year behavior. Cruz has monumental issues now that are actually relevant to the situation (the primaries, remember? not chatting up chicks in the dorms)


    by PeraclesPlease on Mon, 02/01/2016 - 6:15am

    I believe that it is a reasonable inference from the totality of data available.  ymmv.

    \

    Why not take it on as an assignment--the verification or otherwise of the proposition that the description  of Cruz's attire, limited as it was to "a bathrobe", with the additional identifer "paisley (ie, not terrycloth)  in the absence of the word "pajamas" and in the context of an ensemble that disturbed the targets, in fact comprised the description of a man (emulating Kramer as it were) "flying free"..

     

    You may report back with your results at your leisure.


    by jollyroger on Mon, 02/01/2016 - 1:28pm

    Sure, as soon as you report back on my speculation he was wearing bra and panties backwards while singing the Marseillaise and French kissing a macaque monkey. All easy to prove, no?


    by PeraclesPlease on Mon, 02/01/2016 - 5:00pm

    singing the Marseillaise

    I see what you did there...nice try...everyone familiar with the story reports that he was singing O Canada!--Your leetle trap, she haz failed!


    by jollyroger on Mon, 02/01/2016 - 5:49pm

    Look, I can't keep track of all these frenchies - it's like LeBeau on Hogan's Heroes - is he with ze resistance or not?


    by PeraclesPlease on Mon, 02/01/2016 - 6:16pm

    I was gonna stream me some "House of Lies" tonight, but this dialog is better.

    Shit is coming out...

     

    A few months ago, someone sent Jezebel a tip about the rising Republican presidential candidate’s days as a Princeton undergraduate. It was a story that seemed both unlikely and physiologically improbable, but I figured I might as well ask around, just in case....

    Armed with this context, when Jezebel received this anonymous tip detailing an absurd sexual rumor that was allegedly going around about Cruz his freshman year in college, we immediately began to look into it. This involved describing a frankly disgusting alleged scenario over the phone to one fortysomething Ivy Leaguer after another, as tactfully as possible, while making sure to characterize it as only a rumor, and likely untrue.

    “Ew!” multiple people yelped in response. “Oh, God, no,” another murmured. “I’ve certainly never heard anything like that,” one alumnus said.

    Wow, your freshmen buds didn't like you. That's real pertinent to what? I'd guess more than half of college students are sexually awkward. I don't even understand what that has to do with running for president. The more people print this bullshit, the more I'm likely to taking a liking to Ted - it's the counter-histrionifs effect.


    by PeraclesPlease on Sat, 02/06/2016 - 2:44am

    PP, you  have an instinct for the capillary.  The thrust, if I may be forgiven the childish pun, is that Cruz has an episode of self-fellation coupled with public discovery that sticks to him like dogshit on your shoe.  

    Sorry that you forced me to be so explicit, but (feigned) obuseness is your stock in trade.


    by jollyroger on Sat, 02/06/2016 - 1:38pm

    self-fellation

    Not, as Seinfeld would say, that there is anything wrong...

     


    by jollyroger on Sat, 02/06/2016 - 1:40pm

    There appears to be nothing under the bathrobe in this cell phone picture taken by one of the women:

    He got a rise out of Iowa. Paisley Park is not pleased.
