Wanted: Boatlift Veterans for Truth

By Baxter

It's happened again. A new member of the GOP clown college shows up, gets inundated with all the hopes and dreams and longings of a frantic and desperate party, and ends up being an idiot.

Latest case in point: Marco Rubio, the little brat from Florida who's been touted as a possible Republican Vice Presidential nominee next year. Want to make the famous quitter from Alaska look like a sage, mature choice? Marco's your boy.

Rubio's right-wing politics make him repulsive enough, but on top of all that he's just been outed as a liar.

His parents, he's said, fled Castro's Cuba and pulled themselves up by their bootstraps as exiles in the United States. Um, no. Rubio's parents came to America in 1956. Last we checked, Fidel Castro took over in '59.

We cats think that folks who truly suffered to get from beleaguered Caribbean islands to the U.S. should form a new political action committee: Boatlift Veterans for Truth. They should run commercials calling Rubio the fake and the fraud he is, and they should show up at every Rubio event and hound him without mercy. Yep, Marco Rubio should be "boatlifted."

Who would bankroll such a worthy effort? We cats are wondering if John Kerry has any loose change lying around.
