Another longtime Harvard law professor Charles Fried said he worked with Cruz when the latter was the editor of the Harvard Law Review. "I have a vivid recollection of a very smart, very disciplined man," he said. "I've been reading all these sharp elbow stories but I didn't see that. He was, I would say, correct. Respectful and correct."
Interesting. Somebody has a "vivid recollection" of Ted in college.

“”So he was 3rd in a class of how many?””
“150, as detailed in the article.”
What a loser!

You guys aren't being fair to Barack. This guy has a vivid recollection of Barry in college, too.

All it took to change the media narrative from “he’s stupid” to “he’s brilliant, but...” was Cruz’ captivating speech at Liberty U. Onward and upward from here.

I think that Huffington is really on to something with this smiley stuff. I see a pattern here. I’m beginning to think that Cruz might not have even had any Choom buddies.

Gotta give them credit,,,they found a way to make 3rd in a class of 150 at Harvard sound like a failure.

He was a genius. It was obvious that the course material posed no challenge to his towering intellect. He was also the best athlete, was pursued by all the coeds, and was thought of as the coolest guy on campus.

Id like to know what President Obama was like at Harvard.Now I know more about what Ted Cruz was like in college than I do about Obama after eight years running for office and being in office.
Hmmmm. I wonder why?

I applaud the MSM for showing its bias so early in the campaign. I'm sure they have already gone through his trash, hired all of his neighbors to spy on him, and started shadowing his friends and his family. In less than a month he'll be investigated more thoroughly than Obama was in 8 years.
Hopefully someone will comment on the fact that Cruz actually had records that could be seen, Professors that remembered him, fellow students that attended classes with him. Obama had no such thing - to this day I'm not sure he even attended college.

Well at least we know he had classmates and they have things to say about him. Too bad the media has no interest in Zero’s classmates.

Senator Cruz is brilliant. He was national debate champion while at Princeton and Alan Dershowitz says that Cruz is one of the best students he’s had during his 50 years at Harvard Law School. Cruz argued 9 cases in front of the Supreme Court, winning the majority of them, more than any current member of Congress. I can’t wait to see him debate Hillary, who flunked the D.C. Bar Exam.

He had lots of Saudi money to get him entry, a degree, upper level position all without showing up or studying. I think he would have been a good drug counselor if he was no longer using.

Kind of funny, since it's the oh-so-liberal Huffing Post.
I liked the guy who said that it would be a challenge for the media to delve into Cruz's educational background without doing the same for Obama.
However, I must disagree with my fellow GMTA-er. The MSM is perfectly capable of operating under a blatant double standard. In fact, they consider it a test of their power to continue to claim to be objective while doing so.
At the same time, their ratings continue to shrink. They - who think us stupid - won't make any connection between their slavish promotion of Bizarro World logic and the fact that fewer and fewer people volunteer to have their intelligence insulted.
