mitchethekidSo Marco Rubio still refuses to answer the question of whether or not he has smoked marijuana.
“Here’s the problem with that question in American politics,” Rubio said. “If you say you did, suddenly there are all these people saying ‘Well, it’s not a big deal, look at all these successful people who did it.’ On the other side of it, if you tell people that you didn’t, they won’t believe you.”
And if you refuse to answer entirely, then people will think you’re nothing but a craven politician with something to hide.
Marco, Marco, Marco… If you hadn’t smoked weed, you would say so. We all know you smoked, and your lame excuses for refusing to answer the question just make you look, well, lame.
P.S. I was going to tag this with slang terms for marijuana, but there are way too many for that!

Off topic, but this comment by Noonan is the perfect example of conservative empathy.

Watson,
Life isn’t perfect – but ensuring that 99.99999% of the votes are valid is worth causing a 92 year old woman a trivial difficulty.”
What a arrogant limp dick.
Noonan, in response to an observation that Boko Haraam may have aquired their weapons from the U.S.:
“Well, in a sense, Boko Haram did – thanks to our disastrous mission in Libya, large amounts of Libyan weapons wound up everywhere, and it seems that Boko Haram got a selection of them.”
Ahem. Two things. One, this is a fine example of All Roads Lead To BENGHZI! Syndrome, suffered by those who wear their tinfoil tricorns too tight. Notice here how the complete lack of evidence is a prominent symptom of this disease.
Two, in only his second comment to HIS OWN POST about how we should arm foreign militias Noonan is complaining about the negative consequences of arming foreign militias. Proof positive that slow-witted cretins are immune to cognitive dissonance.
Also, on the topic of Florida Republicans, Cory Robbins has an outstanding piece on the Republican war on workers. In particular, he highlights the growing epidemic of wage theft–employers not giving employees their due compensation. Some places are actually trying to do something about it:
Well, that seems pretty straightforward. You go after people who steal wages from their workers, you get those workers the money they are do, who could possibly have a problem with that?
Oh, right: Florida. Republicans. Florida Republicans.
And there is conservatism in action: Its “principles” are not principles at all, just meaningless grunts. And conservatives really hate working-class people. And they think that if you refuse to allow something to be addressed–wage theft, climate change, gun violence, etc.–then that thing magically ceases to exist.
One hopes their derangement reaches its nadir soon…but that’s a pretty far-fetched hope, it seems.
That is a good article. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
