Photoshopped posters showing the Texas Republican shirtless, with edgy tattoos, smoking a cigarette have been put up in several locations around the city. Likely a prank, the stunt prompted a tongue-in-cheek response from the senator
Ted Cruz made an appearance in Los Angeles looking rougher around the edges than you’d expect of a U.S. senator. Inked up and dangling a cigarette from his lips, the Texas senator could be seen in several locations around the city, shirtless and revealing a magnificent tattoo of an eagle stretched across his sculpted pectoral muscles.

Awesome poster. Cruz should embrace the off-beat message and start smoking Marlboros.
Great poster, tats really ‘fit’ his face. unlike a photo shop using Arnold Stang’s head. Just sayin.
Love it.
Wait until o see’s this and he’ll be having the AP re-enhance his ‘08 swim trunk pic with better pecs and a six pack.
Looks a little like Bill Murray. At least from the neck up.
Holliswood stepped in it with this one. The Low Information Voters types that Focus on Arts and might even think he might look like this with his shirt off and think he is cool and vote for him.....
yes... it does... Bill Murray back in the day... Bill Murray has not aged well... saw him when i tuned in to some of the Academy Awards... he looks older than my 90-year old daddy...
This man is only 63, he should not be looking like this already!
Apparently Senator Cruz also saw it———”Saw this, but noticed an error. So I wanted to make one thing clear: I don’t smoke cigarettes” bit.ly/1nqK08i http://t.co/tPFNqg9vu8—;

He does look a bit like Murray-and the eyes and head reminded me of when I was a kid and my mom and I went to a yard sale at a neighbor’s place where she bought an old movie poster featuring a young Marlon Brando, whom she was fond of...
This may sound a little strange, but I happen to know Bill Murray (inasmuch as people who are not very close friends know celebrities,) and I can tell you that he is perfectly pleased to “look like” himself. The man is a consummate realist, and a delight to be around.
Smoking, drugs, an lots of time will in the sun do that to a person.
I don’t know how PaDad would take it, but I would LOVE to purchase that poster. Frame it and display it.
I think whoever thought this was a slur against Cruz, misread their photoshopping skill set. This puts the TX Senator in a while different light.
Excellent. The poster has a sort of “Sons of Anarchy” tone to it.
Go with it CRUZ, TALK TO THE HAND!
Is Bill Murray wearing a tie around his neck? What is that, something new for the very busy executive? He doesn’t look so bad, just very pale as though an Office Dweller, at least his weight is under control, not like my own.
He reminds me of Robert Mitchum in Cape Fear.
