And Just When You Think It’s Gonna Die, It Doesn’t.
Well, the Ted Cruz story gets bumped back to the front page.
In explaining his disastrous Cancún trip, Sen. Ted Cruz failed to mention his college roommate also was along for the visit.
- Axios has learned Cruz (R-Texas) invited David Panton, his former roommate at Princeton and Harvard Law, to join the family getaway.
- An aide tells Axios the senator extended the invitation only after the Cruz family planned the vacation last Tuesday.
- Panton accepted, and flew to Mexico.
The bottom line: Panton stayed at the Ritz-Carlton, while Cruz schlepped home.
I wake up every morning wondering what is going to be added next to Cruz’s lies about the trip.
I’m waiting for his daughter’s and wife to admit that they begged him to stay home in the first place.
Or that his seat upgrade was denied because he wasn’t wearing pants.
How did he think he was going to get away with all these lies? Oh. Yeah. I forgot. Trump.
Any cop will tell you that if the alibi keeps changing every 5 minutes, somebody lying.
1No truth? No problem-o! Terrified Teddy lives in a perpetually sealed post-truth bubble!
2The Tedophile has a “Black friend”? I’m shocked and amazed but it is good “optics” and Ted’s optics need some help
3So, what’s Mrs. Cruz and Mr. Panton up to in Raf’s absence? Heidy is a sly one, she is.
4And then he did photo ops handing out wzter when he was supposed to be in quarantine after being out of the country.
5djw – Upon seeing Cruz’s posting of his charity work, Keith Olbermann remarked “I assume you are taking these waters”
6And since St. John’s just instituted strict quarantines about people who have been out of the country, those kids will be home with mom and dad(unless he runs to DC) for two weeks, and they don’t do online teaching. I hope Heidi had a great time, really she led Ted astray as badly as his ego!
7Cancun Pete seems to be in DC, not wearing a mask.
8@1–Cop stories change all the time.
9Joe @ 3: You wouldn’t by chance be currently in front line supervision of some craft on an industrial construction/maintenance job would you?
10Asking for a friend, who I’ve personally heard use the odd term “sack-o-hammers” on occasion.
One story that didn’t get a lot of attention, he and his wife knew it was against the daughters’ school Covid protocols to travel internationally. As one of the alums of that school I received the below link from several of my classmates who sent this around over the weekend with much scorn and amusement. Of course most likely a high percentage of those parents voted for him.

11Ted is lucky someone sent a mariachi band to his house instead of a lynch mob. I hope Snowflake bit him.
