Ted Cruz’s college roommate recalls his creepy habits

[MikeWB]

Funny shit!


Apparently some people feel so strongly about Ted Cruz that they are emailing his one-time college roommate faulting him for not killing Cruz when he could.

Screenwriter Craig Mazin and the future Republican presidential candidate were paired together as freshmen at Princeton in 1988. And Mazin has never forgotten it.

    Getting emails blaming me for not smothering Ted Cruz in his sleep in 1988. What kind of monster do you think I am? A really prescient one?

Nor does he make any secret of loathing Cruz. He delights in tweeting embarrassing details about his roommie's hygiene, his problems with women and his general creepiness.

Mazin, who penned the scripts for "The Hangover Part 2" and its sequel, told The Daily Beast: "I would rather have anybody else be the president of the United States. Anyone. I would rather pick somebody from the phone book."

In freshman-year recollection to the Daily Beast, Mazin said Cruz "had a habit of hanging out near girls' rooms in a paisley robe. He said dorm residents often asked him to keep Cruz out of the hallway.

The following tweets give a clue to just how deeply Cruz damaged Mazin's psyche during that year at Princeton.

    As a freshman, I would get into senior parties because I was Ted's roommate. OUT OF PITY. He was that widely loathed. It's his superpower.

    Second memory: Ted would talk about the women he thought he had a shot with. Pretty sure he remained untouched by a woman those four years.

    Ted would leave a greasy film on everything. My friend Erik dubbed the substance "Cruhz," rhymes with "scuzz." Now there's Cruhz on my TV.

    How little has Ted Cruz changed since 1988? If he hadn't gained weight, I could make a strong case that he was a cyborg.

    In 1988, I puked all over Ted Cruz's textbooks. U JELLY?

Mazin's views toward Cruz only hardened after the right-wing conservative announced his candidacy:

    "Believe" is a good word. Ted doesn't *think* things. He has *faith* in stuff that is True No Matter What https://t.co/0qBB6NMSR8

    Excellent piece dissecting Ted Cruz' bullshit. They call it "lying" but it's worse. It's pathological calculation. https://t.co/yeJlEt5lF2

    Worried about Ted Cruz winning Iowa? No doubt it would make him as viable as the last two winners: Huckabee and Santorum.
