The New York Times dug up some priceless anecdotes from Sen. Ted Cruz's (R-TX) college debating career in a story published Tuesday, from a poorly received joke about regenerating hymen to his affinity for the "Les Misérables" soundtrack.
The newspaper spoke with several of Cruz's rival debaters who said that the presidential candidate was a powerful speaker that could be undercut by humor. He would "unravel" when competitors deployed humor against him, according to former Yale debater Austan Goolsbee (an economist who later served on President Obama's cabinet).
Cruz also fared poorly when he made jokes himself. From the Times report:
Mr. Cruz’s own attempts at humor sometimes missed the mark. In one debate, he proposed a method to detect infidelity, in which God should “give women a hymen that grows back every time she has intercourse with a different guy, because that will be a ‘visible sign’ of the breach of trust,” according to a recollection by David Kennedy published in a Harvard debate team reunion booklet in 2001.
Mr. Kennedy’s debate partner mocked Mr. Cruz’s knowledge of the subject matter by contorting herself to see how the anatomy in question could be “visible,” according to the booklet.
In another debate against Amherst College, the opposing team argued that Ricky Ricardo of "I Love Lucy" fame should have let Lucille Ball's character work. Cruz responded “Well, guess what, I’m Cuban! And no self-respecting Cuban man of the era would let his wife work," according to the Times.

Though you'll note that the New York Times didn't bother at all to investigate Barack Obama's college years! Nothing to see there! Old history! (also, too radical to publish and he might not get elected so better to not even go there!)
This was laughed off of twitter a few days ago.
Hey, if this is all they got...
Besides, we should respect hymenated Americans.
Did they ever do an in-depth report on Obama’s college life??
I'll bet they did!
...
Good job NYT!
But you still can't find ANYTHING about Barack Obama from back in his "college days"?
Of course, you'd have to be LOOKING, wouldn't you?
He will definitely start feeling what Governor Walker has felt for years. I guess Cruz has approached the big leagues. Hope Cruz can handle it. Governor Walker has been exemplary in his handling of media and BS.
Even a lot of twitter liberals were pointing out that college debates about things like Ricky and Lucy are often full of hyperbolic attention grabbing statements.
Its a debate tactic that can endear the debater with the audience and throw an opponent off his game.
What amazes me is the level of detail that can be found concerning these different Republicans, but not one iota of information can be dredged up about President Obama.
How can any “thinking” liberal take this without feeling some shame?
Yeah, this is so much worse than hanging out with a pair of hippie terrorists from the 1960s.
LIBs feel no shame. Without exception they are knee-padded supplicants who are blinded by their criminal/political “leaders”.
Wonder if Jason Horowitz (D-NYT) ever dug into Brack "The Sunni Foreign Exchange Student" Oblabya's college background.
Nah. Didn't think so.
NAMBOLA (North American Media-Barack Obama Love Association).
NAMBOLA - the love that dares not speak its name.
motto - "We're not as bad as NAMBLA, as far as YOU know!"
I bet he attended a fraternity party at some point as well.
I guess it is good to know that the NYT is still practicing affirmative action for weak sauce chefs.
NAMBOLA (North American Media-Barack Obama Love Association)? No, they were busy classifying the different tastes of oblabya's "man essences"...

Our presidential elections have become juvenile locker room crap talk...............
Was it not the clinton’s who hung condoms on their personal Christmas tree while in office? Approved of the Vagina Monologues and hired that filthy minded mya angelou?
