Marco Rubio is pretending he's never heard of Florida's "resign-to-run" law.
It's the Sunshine State statute that forbids sitting Senators from running for re-election and for President at the same time. And why is this question being raised? Because for some completely inexplicable reason — Republican desperation comes to mind — Baby Marco is being talked about as a GOP Presidential hopeful in 2016.
But Baby Marco's Senate term is also up that same year.
"I haven't even thought about it, to be honest with you," Rubio tried to claim in an interview. "I'm pretty busy here..."
Really?
Rubio has already been to Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, and hasn't given a moment's thought to a simple law that would leave him unelected in four years? Or — even more improbable — he hasn't had any fantasies about 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in 2016?
Marco Rubio is either stupid, naive or a liar. Although all three are distinctly possible, we'll go with liar.
