Here is the link to the actual article, but in my opinion there can be nothing written in the pages of the magazine that can change my gut reaction to this cover photo.
In fact Cruz is so repellent that high school students in the Bronx threatened to stage a walk out if he even showed his face.
And with a face like that who can blame them?
I will be so glad when the entire Clown Car crashes and burns.
ReplyDeletePaul Ryan's walking away from the wreck hand in hand with Nikki Haley, watch out.
DeleteLikable enough?! Are they kidding? When his own daughter turns her head as he's trying to swoop in for a kiss, that speaks volumes to me!
ReplyDeleteLike the neighborhood child predator that you teach your children to avoid at all costs. Creepy Chuck Sr. gives me the same heebie jeebies.
His wife has the same reaction when he tries to snuggle up to her. Poor woman.
DeleteKudos to those high school students for letting Creepy Cruz he's persona non grata with them.
ReplyDeleteLikeable Enough? Shame on you, Time. That was Hillary's line when she ran against Obama, but I'll give you a little hint. The idea of a magazine cover is to sell magazines. I wouldn't touch that with a hazmat suit on, if that's the best you can come up with for a cover, no thanks, I'll invest in a crossword puzzle book.
ReplyDeleteYou forget. That was Obama's dismissive comment to her at some event or other. He was right, she is likable enough. But it is a remark I'm sure he regrets. And that is a despicable use of the comment that Time has committed, kind of a twofer, dismissing Cruz and Obama in one ugly headline.
Delete6:27 PM, YOU forget.
DeleteObama's comment was not dismissive, it was in fact supportive in the face of a nasty and unnecessary question from the moderator.
His exact words were, "You're likeable enough, Hillary, no doubt about it." Then he smiled. He interrupted her to make that comment, he didn't need to say anything.

You Hillary Haters really give me the shits.
Well, that's why they used that nefarious-looking pic of him. Is he likable? Is Michele Bachmann crazy? etc. ad nauseam
ReplyDeleteHe looks both like Joseph McCarthy and Satan.
Delete+1000!!
DeleteI always feel like I have to take a shower after seeing his picture. He really creeps me out.
Actually, I thought that pic made him look a bit like PeeWee Herman!
DeleteThis guy has SO much to hide. Hope the vetting process works better than it did with $arah.

DC Madam records now on internet, purporting to show phone records involving Cruz for the period AFTER his marriage to Heidi. And so-called liberal (yeah, and I'm Marie Antoinette) media totally silent.
DeleteAbsolutely, why is the media hiding this information? I have seen the records. It is utter bullshit that they are silent. Where are the investigative journalists of yesteryear? Seems like the powers that be want this creep in power.
DeleteHe'll never win because EVERYONE hates him. His kids, Texas, the USA, all women of the earth with a pulse, etc.
DeleteHe is a thinly veiled sociopath with a healthy dose of psycho added in.
Tonight I turned on the TV while I was loading the dishwasher and American Idol was on. They were featuring performances by past winners, and Clay Aiken came on stage to sing.
ReplyDeleteThere was always something about him that gave me the creeps, but I couldn't explain exactly what it was. Tonight I figured out that he reminds me of a bad TV movie with a sinister televangelist who is found to have teenage girls locked in his basement.
Ted Cruz gives me the same icky feeling.
My question: WHY does he wear mascara and pancake makeup? No, seriously.
DeletePat Robertson.
DeleteOh my. And all this time I have thought I was alone with this same reaction to Clay Aiken. Total creepfest.
Delete6:19 I think he wears lipstick too.
DeleteI'd like to know what shade, so I don't buy it.
The shade is "Devil's leer"
DeletePart Richard Nixon, part Joe McCarthy, 100% deplorable
ReplyDeleteIt's his mouth. It's a very feminine mouth for a man. I'm not kidding.
ReplyDeleteAnd with a face like that who can blame them?
ReplyDeleteGryphen, the first thing that came to mind when i read your last sentence was how similar it was to the comment Drumpf made about Carly.
That guy has 'a face only a mother could like'. MAAAAYYYYBE. Although I think even his mother was more than happy when he finally left the house!
ReplyDeleteWhenever I see his mug, I feel like punching him to wipe out that ever-present smirk on his face!
Trump has a much worse fat face that is a different color each time you see him on stage. He's far worse than Cruz ever thought of being! Trump is the one every one should be going after! He gives me the creeps far worse than Cruz!
DeleteJust like Cruz, simple $arah also has that perpetual smug smirk on her all the time. It must be a character trait of most narcissists. Personally, I would love to punch them both the fuck out!!
DeleteTrump looks like a thumb.

I wish more media outlets were going after Donald Trump and all the things he has done throughout his life. That asshole is worse than Cruz!
ReplyDeleteI can't say that Time is supporting Drumpf but they are certainly sticking it to Cruz.
DeleteIt doesn't matter what the article says.
That photo was chosen with great care.
It's subtle so Time can't be criticized for it. But that photo was chosen for the creep factor. That cover will be on newstands all over the U.S. People will see it who won't bother to read the article or buy the magazine. They'll just see that cover.
And be creeped out.
I'm sure Time can defend it's choice as being the most attractive shot they could find. (Let's face it, Cruz has no good side or good angle except maybe the back of his head.)
Unflattering? You betcha. Intentional? You betcha.
Not to worry.
If Drumpf wins the nomination all of the media will come down on him like locusts at a free buffet. He'll die by a thousand paper cuts. Even the right wing rags will do it. The owners/publishers/editors will turn a blind eye or discretely encourage it.
Colbert and Cordon will have a field day. Oliver will be ecstatic and Bill Maher will bust a gut over all of the material Drumpf will give them for fodder.
And he'll go down.
I still maintain that David Letterman was instrumental in the fall of McCain. He was relentless after McCain failed to show up and did another show instead. He never let it go.
The late shows can make or break a candidate. And they all have Drumpf in their sights. Should he get the nomination, it will only get worse.
Seems the R's have a facial problem with their candidates. We either get the creepy sleaster, the orange orangutan, of if the head GOP honcho's have their way, Eddie Munster.
ReplyDeleteI'll Take HRC or the grumpy old man over any of 'em, all of 'em.
OT Conservatives have a winner and great news for Palins. Sarah, Nancy, Marina, Bristol to write about the ultimate sexual harassment saga for conservatives. This will be good.

Sorry, I will never vote for Bernie Sanders! He's not a Democrat first off! And, his constant yak yak for the past months has really gotten old! He has no solutions to what he preaches! Plus, he's too old and grumpy!
ReplyDeletePlease post on the Sanders thread.
DeleteIt's really super easy!
Cruz is in NY this week so the local news (Albany) has been covering him. Up until tonight I had only heard him on stage, yelling his speeches and shouting at Trump, etc. But, tonight, I heard him answer questions from our local reporters -- was not watching, only listening from another room. And, I tell you that when just talking he is even more creepy. His conversational voice made me want to run away. Chills, I tell you. So, even without having to look at him, he is totally creepy.
ReplyDeleteOT-Senator Sanders>
ReplyDelete"I think the idea of a Donald Trump or a Ted Cruz presidency would be an unmitigated disaster for this country," he said. "I will do everything in my power and work as hard as I can to make sure that that does not happen, and if Secretary Clinton is the nominee, I will certainly support her."

Trying to scrape the shit from his shoes. We know how effective that is.
DeleteBut will his supporters vote for Hillary?
DeletePointing straight at you, $arah, you think you're so damned smart with your 83 IQ. Here's your Frankenstein that you created!
ReplyDelete"That's Frankensteen."
Please...she didn't create this. She just lined up to service the biggest scumbag asshole in the race at the time. That's how she rolls.
DeleteIt's actually 'Frankenstein's Monster' ~ making Cruz $arah's monster.

hi RAM
DeleteActually, I heard a segment on NPR today that explained why Clinton shouldn't be blamed for the mass incarcerations AND why he doesn't get credit for decreasing crime. His crime bill really had almost no effect.
DeleteWorse than these??????

He could have early on in his career had plastic surgery to create a more likeable visage. Obviously as trump has told us, everyone's looks matter.
ReplyDeleteI don't like Cruz but it's not because of his looks. Trump is unelectable because of his behavior.
But what could he do about his whiny voice? Vocal coach?
DeleteSo he fixes his voice and his face.
There ain't no fixing stupid.
I would not give Bronx students kudos for walking out on a guy who they thought was ugly. What a crock! What about our candidates? Kids are notorious followers and these kids are lured by trumps showmanship. Although he would fire their mothers on a whim and has a reputation in NYC for doing so.
ReplyDeleteTrump represents overseas interests who act contrary to their own constituency. He is the fox in the hen house.
ReplyDeleteI wish pictures of his kids killing animals were widely circulated because they demonstrate entitlement and cruelty--metaphoric.
Don't worry. If he gets the nomination all of those hunting photos with dead animals will come up. I've seen them. They'll be front and center again. Plus every stupid thing he's said.
DeleteIs he channeling Rod Stewart's "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?" Yechhh... Brechmittel aka emetic.
ReplyDeleteI find Cruz repellent, but I have issues with this new trend of students demanding they don't have to deal with anything don't like.

At least cruz has the guts to go into foreign territory by going to NYC. Trump just sent minions or no one to states unimportant to him.
ReplyDeleteHillary and Bernie, come on, we know Hillary will win. Bernie brings trial balloon ideas that may not be ordinarily considered on a national stage as well as protection against trumps mouth.
Now Bristol is using threatening language.
ReplyDeleteAm often shuddering at my own close up kindle eating pictures. Picking on looks is not something I think is a good idea. Its Shaming. Pick on ideas.
ReplyDeleteBravo. I was wondering if we could have everyone post their mugs here, before we decide to start making fun of stuff that none of us have any control over. Well, except for Bristle, of course.
DeleteTrump, like Palin wears makeup and loves plastic surgery.
ReplyDeleteHe looks like he is channeling Pee-wee Herman.

Hey, wasn't Paul Reubens arrested for indecent exposure a while back?
It was years and years ago in an adult theater.
DeleteHe reminds me of a man in the neighborhood my mom warned us about. Eeewwww.
ReplyDeletePeewee? Yes,in a movie house wasn't it? It creeps me out that hes back doing interviews and on Tv.
ReplyDeleteMy wife knows very little about Lying Ted...but she says he just looks "slimy". So true.
