Ted Cruz after dark
by digby
This is beneath me but I had to share:
It’s been a minute since Ted Cruz has humiliated himself in a disgusting way (see: white thing on mouth), but my god, was this one ever worth the wait. Around the witching hour of Tuesday morning, when all but a few stalwart tweeters were sound asleep, @tedcruz was discovered to have liked a porn tweet.
The tweet in question, from the accurately named @SexuallPosts, showed a video (NSFW) that one might describe as “mommy porn” or “low-quality mommy porn.” Cruz’s account un-liked the tweet shortly after this was discovered, and his spokeswoman Catherine Frazier, slightly misunderstanding what had occurred, said “the offensive tweet posted on @tedcruz account earlier has been removed by staff and reported to Twitter.”
Catherine, my pal, @SexuallPosts is just getting started!
Of course, Ted Cruz is an evangelical Christian who once defended a ban on dildos in Texas, has referred to birth control as “abortifacients,” and pulled an ad during the 2016 primary when he discovered one of the actors he’d hired was a softcore porn actress, so this couldn’t have happened to a nicer or more sexually repressed guy. And our old friend Fuckin’ Craig, Cruz’s college roommate, certainly had something to say about this:
Now imagine Ted Cruz is doing this four feet below you in the bottom bunk bed.Yes, my misery very much appreciates your company.

I do really want to savor this moment, but I, like the rest of the country, am also now imagining Ted Cruz watching porn, which undercuts my enjoyment somewhat.
I’m just surprised he was watching something as anodyne as “Mommy porn” whatever that it. I frankly expected something a lot more dark and kinky. Like something that featured evil clowns and chickens.
