Cat Fight! Marco Rubio vs. ... Teabaggers?

By Zamboni

So Marco Rubio, the teabaggers' dreamboat, has been knocked offstride by the revelation that he charged thousands of dollars of personal expenses to his Republican Party of Florida credit card.

We cats will refrain from speculating whether someone in the establishment-Republican Charlie Crist camp leaked Rubio's AmEx bills. Instead, we'll present two different interpretations of the Rubio scandal.

More Charitable Version — Rubio has shown a complete lack of personal responsibility and accountability. Not only that, why would someone as successful as Babyface Marco need a corporate credit card in the first place, to pay for things like food and car repairs? And even if he were dumb enough to mix his personal and business expenditures, why couldn't he separate the two and reimburse his party each month? Finally, why should a guy who can't manage a single American Express bill be allowed to represent the fourth-largest state in the nation?

Brutal Version — Rubio is simply a corrupt fool who believes he exists to benefit from the largesse of others, be they taxpayers or Republican donors. It's an attitude of entitlement, privilege, insider dealings, greed and institutionalized corruption that the so-called tea party movement is supposed to be revolting against. If no teabaggers immediately repudiate Rubio, it's proof that they are about nothing more than electing the most conservative wingnuts and the most virulent, unhinged Obama haters to any and all offices — regardless of a candidate's lack of moral, ethical and intellectual capacity to carry out his duties.

We cats vote for the brutal version. Teabaggers, we're waiting!
