TPM/BuzzFeed ^ | January 14, 2015 | Ahiza Garcia

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) received a ticket for being a minor in possession of alcohol in 1987, when he was a senior in high school, BuzzFeed News reported on Tuesday night.

The revelation was discovered in an application, obtained by BuzzFeed, which Cruz completed for the position of Texas solicitor general back in 2003.

According to the report, police found an unopened case of beer in Cruz's vehicle and issued him a ticket for the offense.

“Teenagers often make foolish mistakes, and that certainly applied to me as well,” Cruz told BuzzFeed News in a statement.

Just an FYI. If this is the worst about him that can be found, great. Maybe his rivals are getting nervous...

Crikey, he had alcohol, that’s unforgivable, why if he’d only been caught with marijuana and cocaine the press would be hailing him as the next president!

The average sniveling GOP e voter will apologize for this while striving for some unrealistic perfect candidate and while wondering why this administration keeps ‘making pr mistakes’ aiding and abetting the enemies of the us...’duh, why do liberals not understand...?’

Expect an alarmed CNN to do a 1-hour special about how this makes Cruz totally unfit for the Presidency.

If the Soviets get hold of this, they could blackmail him as president.

He got a MIP ticket as a kid? How many of us got away with that without being caught. That question equally applies to conservatives and liberals, Democrats and Republicans
Libertarians too. BFD.
