Ted Cruz, Homecoming Queen

There is a trite but true story in Hollywood about the girl who was homecoming queen, the prettiest girl at the high school or college she attended. She comes to Hollywood to find that she is not that beautiful, and that there are plenty of girls that are as pretty as her or more so.

Well Sen. Cruz always thought he was the smartest guy in the room (though I doubt he actually was at Princeton or Harvard) the stories from his school days were that he was a arrogant asshole who liked to dominate opponents with his wit.

Well Ted, welcome to Hollywood aka the US Senate. You are not the smartest guy around and their are intellects there that make you look like the fact-deficient, run of the mill Teabagger you are.

Remember that the State that elected you also elected one of the stupidest Governors we have.

He is horrific in his acting as a "smart guy"...

All he does is recite other peoples intellectual words..

which is what he does..

Anyone can memorize the crap he say's...

I have not him say something original, or intelligent...

Maybe he doesn't even believe that crap.
I don't see how a truly intelligent person could.
But Ted Cruz clearly is out for Ted Cruz and pulling out all the tricks he can think of to push his personal influence.
Since the rank and file teabagger seems to have an IQ of 10 he might have decided that would be his ticket to stardom.

The only "prime time" Ted is ready for is Hannity.

The sad thing is who is the most honored to be with the other.

...stupid is cool and they believed it. Would someone please tell me how/why it's so damn cool to be stupid? What's so cool about being selfish? What's so cool about being a bully? What's so cool about hypocrisy? Who raised these people? Who gave these people a GD diploma? These are the people that were passed on through without the grades. Grade school, high school and college flunkies.
