Funny, I am sort of let down by the Ted Cruz porn-tweet scandal, I was really hoping that Ted would be caught liking something more outré, like Furry Porn, Vore, or some sort of Chuck Tinglean erotic weirdness. To be honest, though, the actual porn liked in Ted's Twitter account is perhaps the Ted Cruziest porn imaginable, as it involves someone barging in on a couple having sex, violating their privacy. What could be more Religious Right than that?
Ted Cruz being a weasel, he is now claiming that this tweet-like was not his fault, leading to a hilarious mashup of Ted with Jamerican rapper Shaggy. For the record, I am a Shaggy fan, being especially taken with his first single, 1993's Oh Carolina:
Of course, this was a cover of a 1960 original by the Folkes Brothers backed by Count Ossie and his Rastafarian Nyabinghi drumming troupe:
One of the music collections I had hunted for for years was a four disc history of modern Jamaican music, starting with the Folkes Brothers' version of Oh, Carolina and ending with Shaggy's cover. Unable to find it in record shops, I put it out of my mind for a while, only to be reminded of it by, of all things, Ted Cruz' Twitter Pornfest. When life hands you TMI, use that information to locate something of interest.
At any rate, since Ted is trying to pin the blame on an underling, let's hope that someone on his staff decides to reveal the good stuff, such as Ted Cruz' bigfoot obsession.
Interesting that a "staffer" was immediately blamed, rather than "hacking".
