Positively Palinesque

By Baxter

Every time we cats think we've seen it all, we haven't. Marco Rubio, the baby Senator from Florida, is quoted in POLITICO today, telling a whopper that we can't believe no one noticed.

Referring to "Jeb!" Bush — who recently roiled the GOP with some less-than-flattering comments about the state of the party — little Marco said that Bush "was particularly struck by the poison and the kind of venom that he, quite frankly, wasn't used to when he served in the Florida legislature."

Just for the record, "Jeb!" Bush never served in the Florida legislature. He was Secretary of Commerce in the Bob Martinez administration a hundred years ago. Then he ran for Governor and lost, and ran for Governor and won. Serving in the state legislature was something that would have been so, so, so beneath Battleaxe Barbara's precious boy — but Marco Rubio apparently hasn't a clue.

Will anyone in journalism call him on it? POLITICO certainly didn't.

In the meantime, it seems that some Republicans would like to nominate a Vice Presidential candidate who's stupider than the last one they had.
