Ted Cruz’s college roommate recalls his creepy habits

By Mike Moffitt

Published 10:06 pm, Friday, January 15, 2016

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.

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.”

1. Psychopaths make bad roommates

[Feeling the Bern]

21. Nihilistic sociopaths are even worse. Ted "Booze" Cruz is all three!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

26. The guy gives me the creeps... reminds me of Grandpa from the Munsters.

[HassleCat]

2. He shouldn't do that

A couple of my college roommates would tell you I left the toilet seat up once in a while, and expected too much sex. Or too little depending on which one you talked to.

[7962]

6. Damn what kind of room were YOU living in?!

[HassleCat]

9. Sequential roommates, not concurrent roommates (eom)

[7962]

25. Ahh that makes a lot more sense! nt

[Jim Lane]

30. More sense, yes, but the unexplained version was more entertaining. (n/t)

[GummyBearz]

33. Sounds like my wife

There is only one of her, but sometimes it seems like there are 2

[tabasco]

36. Why not?

Tough shit when you run for president, your life becomes an open book.

[forest444]

3. It seems to me the PTB prefer politicians with big, bony skeletons in their closets.

Provides them with something to use against them should they get out of line.

Cruz strikes me as someone who's very much into BDSM, on the receiving end of course. Sad.

[valerief]

4. I'll bet he's into scat, too. nt

[forest444]

5. Rafael's into anything his bankrollers tell him to be.

That's why they like him.

[Hortensis]

38. Actually, Cruz makes most plutocrats VERY nervous.

Cruz was willing to bring down the global economy in his reach for power. The plots and profits of plutocrats require foreseeability and stability. Cruz, like Trump but perhaps even worse, is a giant loose flywheel threatening to come lose and smash everything.

Yes, Cruz is wooing them now as he reaches for power again, but they have no dependence that they can control him. They'll fund him if they have to to keep the Democrats out of the White House, but most regard him as a very dangerous choice.

7. Some of the stuff on his web site is different

8. Good Lord. Looks like a cross between a meth addict and a televangelist.

And I bet they're some of his best selling merchandise.

What is it with these people? Are they trying to get back at their parents!?

[Person 2713]

10. Hey they just are maniacs

11. Cokeheads for Cruz!

12. I keep sayin he's Ben from Blue Velvet

[forest444]

13. Except for Trump, I bet a lot of these Republicans running right now are.

Know what I mean?

[Monk06]

14. You mean Fucking Suave ??? LOL Well they aren't like Ben in that respect LOL

More like Frank

[forest444]

15. Not in the positive sense (suave). More like sleazy or worse.

Don't you think?

[Monk06]

17. In that scene Frank says to Ben "You're so fucking suave" Ben in fact is major creepy

Only Hopper and Dean Stockwell could have done those roles

[forest444]

18. It's been years since I've seen that movie. I'll have to watch it again soon.

Thanks to the tip. I always enjoy watching something recommended to me by someone else; adds a certain curiosity, you know?

Have a good night, Monk.

[Monk06]

19. Check out how Ben looks at Frank after he says you're so fucking suave Frank gives him a raised eye

brow like, I know I am. That is so much like Cruz' smug expression when he delivers one of his socalled zingers

Cruz is Ben

Frank is like Trump, a nitrous huffing maniac and rapist LOL

[forest444]

20. I suspect you're right.

If I had to pick one word to describe the lot, it would be 'sociopath'.

[tabasco]

35. You're right about that.

I think Dean Stockwell is under-rated.

[NBachers]

22. Oh, man, that's great!

[3catwoman3]

16. Is that crap for real?

Creepy, creepy, creepy.

[bklyncowgirl]

27. Yeah that is seriously weird. Here's a link to the artist's website.

Here's a link to the artist's website. I'd never heard of the guy before. The stuff is pretty hard to look at but he has a following I guess among the hard core right.

[Person 2713]

32. Real and not cheap ! Not that I could even buy as a joke since it benefits this creep

[3catwoman3]

37. I'd rather go naked...

....than wear anything with Cruz's name on it.

[left-of-center2012]

23. Just a good old boy from Texas, er Canada

From the linked article:
Cruz “had a habit of hanging out near girls’ rooms in a paisley robe.

[Cirque du So-What]

24. I always had a nagging fear that I would find my roommate using my toothbrush

to scratch his ass.

[ret5hd]

29. I only did it once!!! And I tried to apologize...

after I thought you caught me!

[KittyWampus]

28. OMG! The page topper has his tweets & ebay listings for TED CRUZ NAIL TIPS!

[Unknown Beatle]

31. From the linked article:

"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."

Ewww!

[niyad]

40. you nearly owed me a keyboard. cruhz--ugh!!

[Dont call me Shirley]

34. All those fundie cults have bizarre-ass sexual, hygiene habits. Pervert heaven Dominionism is Cruz

[Hortensis]

39. Question: Do you think Cruz is really a man of faith?

His father seems to be, but so far I've never an indication that Cruz is anything but amoral, likely a sociopath, and definitely an extremely ambitious power seeker. Serious question -- Does Cruz really believe he serves God or is he a nonbeliever trying to harness the power of religion for his own use?

[Dont call me Shirley]

41. Jesus was a man of faith, no modern Christian cult leader or follower could even know the

meaning of faith. Blind following of others is all they know. So my answer is, none of them are men of faith.

[Hortensis]

42. Um, too high a bar for me. I mainly just wonder if Cruz

believes in god at all and secondarily if he is a Christian speaking to Christians or a snake cynically using them.

[Dont call me Shirley]

43. Being that cults teach delusional thinking, yes, Cruz believes his delusion.
