Cruz with me to neverland

In a recent diary, Dr. Teeth vented his amazement over Ted Cruz's recent blabathon in the Senate. I can certainly understand his feelings. After all, Cruz is allegedly highly educated, all Ivy League, and then this. It does make one wonder. What I found equally intriguing and entertaining was the follow-on discussion about Cruz, and how he really is (or may not be), as well as Ivy-League education generally and specifically, as some fellow alumni stepped up to give more of insider's view of that world. One is certainly left with the feeling that things are perhaps not quite as they appear. Follow me below the fold to see why I think they are exactly as they appear.
