Ted Cruz Was a Smelly, Terrible Roommate

By Joe Coscarelli

Proud, pretentious American destroyer Ted Cruz has always been a bit difficult. Since elbowing his way into the national consciousness, the Texas Republican has been outed as a hater of "minor Ivies" like Penn and Brown, and is said to have come to Princeton as a 17-year-old with a book titled Was Karl Marx a Satanist? "I would end up fielding the [girls'] complaints: 'Could you please keep your roommate out of our hallway?'" his undergrad roommate at Princeton Craig Mazin told the Daily Beast over the summer. ("I would rather have anybody else be the president of the United States. Anyone," Mazin added. "I would rather pick somebody from the pho

I picked a random, recent movie written by the roommate, “Identity Thief”.

The “best” reviews on IMDB for this movie single out the writing for being truly awful.

“Despite the high profile comedic talent on hand, (Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy), the movie is so predictable that you can guess almost every nuance in it. If you wish to have your intelligence insulted for an hour and a half, this is for you. “

“Overlong, underwritten, and tritely crafted, this is a perfect example of a comedy in the genre I call “maximum antics, minimum laughter.” To qualify for the placement, you must subject a somewhat interesting premise to more grating physical schtick than the intelligently crafted kind, which centers around characters, wit, heart, substance, and wordplay.”

“Was Karl Marx a Satanist?”

I have Richard Wurmbrand’s other book, “Marx & Satan”.

Probably elderberries, like his mother...

No, no. You are slightly mistaken, FRiend.

His mother was a hamster.

It was his father that smelt of elderberries.

I’m still waiting for the article that discusses how the “brilliant” Hillary Clinton flunked the DC Bar Exam which is primarily why she moved to Arkansas where the bar exam, like that of many states, was considered much easier and the pass rate was much higher. How about how she lied about being named after Sir Edmund Hillary who climbed Mt. Everest in 1953 which is only when he became world famous; Hillary was born in 1947, when Edmund Hillary was no “sir” but instead worked as an obscure beekeeper in rural New Zealand. How about the pattern of abject lies by her while Secretary of State?? Well, NOOO, none of that is “newsworthy” not like Ted Cruz who “smelled” and whose Senate colleagues (like Lindsay Graham, McCain and McConnell) don’t like him.

Well, Cruz like most athletes, have smelled on occasion. But this will always wash off. His freshman roommate Mazin, on the other hand, is extremely physically UGLY. This will never wash off.

Cruz *may * have been a smelly, terrible roommate way back when. Craig Mazin makes smelly, terrible films today. Cruz may be the next President of the United States of America. Mazin will still be making smelly, terrible movies.

As hit pieces go, this doesn’t even rise to the levels of Craig’s awful movies.

You think he would have thought of something really funny, but I guess this reveals his sense of humor. Cruz is really funny.

Yeah, judging from his Twitter page, Mazin can't get over Cruz...Ted must have stolen his girlfriend.

He also comes off as a middle-aged man trying way too hard to be relevant and cool.

Craig Mazin ‏@clmazin Nov 19

@danieltheshep I'd love nothing more than for God to be real. I'm also desperate for calorie-free pizza. Haven't found either yet.

I think joe means that Cruz used deodorant that joe did not like.

Looks like joe preferred a more back to nature, barnyard type odor

A bunch of players on my team had a competition to see who go the longest without washing their uniform before they could no longer stand the smell.

Coach finally had put a stop to the contest when the smell became so bad the coaching staff could not stand to be around them

What’s next Ted Cruz is a poo poo head?

I figure they'll find someone that was a little girl in school with him saying Cruz had cooties.
