Discussion for article #232055

Oh BFD. The man is a raging asshole and a danger to the Republic, but FFS, who gives a crap? There but for the grace of God (who once sent underage me a huge slice of luck and a really convincing lie I told the cop) go I.

He should be frog marched out of the Senate for this heinous crime. This is even worse than when Obama tried Cocaine!

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. Nobody cares what Cruz was charged with as a teenager. This is entirely irrelevant to anything and says more about the nature of opposition research than any thing else.

Indeed. I’m more concerned about Boehner’s drunkeness than what a dumbass teenager did.

Wow…its the first normal thing I have heard attributed to the guy. Why in the hell did he not open it? Must have been Budweiser or some such swill.

Well, there are things a politician could have been charged with as a teen that would be relevant later–murder, rape, arson, child abuse, animal abuse, that kind of thing. But underage drinking? Please.

I heard he once liked a girl. It was High School. He had his friend ask her friend to find out if she liked him because he wanted her to invite him to the Sadie Hawkins dance, but didn’t want to look stupid asking her to ask him out. But she thought that Ted’s approach was “totally immature” and asked out an upperclassman who jumped at the opportunity to potentially nail a freshman.

I think Cruz is a loathsome jerk…but I agree with the other posters that this is a stupid, meaningless post.

Glass houses. The NSGOTP lionizes the parenting skills of the Talibunny, while blaming all her family problem on librls.

Actually if it was Canadian Whiskey he would have been in big trouble with his base…but it was beer, so he’s fine.

But yes, who cares. Let’s concentrate on his absurd stance on issues, not what he did when he was a kid.

When I think about Canadian whiskey I think about Charles Martin Smith.

Did they do doggie?

In other news, Mitt Romney was ticketed for riding his bicycle through a stop sign while working as a Mormon missionary in France.
I don’t like either of these bozos, but can’t we limit our arguments to something slightly more substantial?

Teddy is seriously craving some attention and distraction from his mccarthyist tendencies.

I don’t really care if Ted made a foolish mistake as a teen. I’m more concerned about the foolish mistake made by adults when they elected this asshole.

Use your imagination like I did.

I thought about those things but seriously he was caught with an unopened beer. The difference between him and me is I wasn’t caught.
