In fairness to Mr. Rubio, what he’s saying isn’t any different from what everyone else in his party is saying. But that, of course, is what’s so scary.
For here we are, more than five years into the worst economic slump since the Great Depression, and one of our two great political parties has seen its economic doctrine crash and burn twice: first in the run-up to crisis, then again in the aftermath. Yet that party has learned nothing; it apparently believes that all will be well if it just keeps repeating the old slogans, but louder.
It’s a disturbing picture, and one that bodes ill for our nation’s future.
Krugman on Rubio’s speech. Dude nails the problem with Rubio’s offering Tuesday night.
“I mean I needed water, what am I going to do,” Rubio said on NBC’s Good Morning America, after again ducking away from the camera to reach for his water bottle. “God has a funny way of reminding us that we’re human.”
Tuesday night as he delivered the live GOP response, the Florida senator seemed nervous and awkwardly paused at one point to grab an off-camera bottle of water and take a sip.
Rubio told CBS’s “This Morning that” he wasn’t nervous, but had “already taped an eighteen-minute speech in Spanish” after a long day at work, and “when you talk a lot, it happens.” Rubio on Wednesday sought to return attention to the president’s policies, continuing to jab at Obama’s address.
Dude, you’re a robot. YOU DO NOT NEED WATER.
Not one, but two planes I was on today had malfunctions. Second one forced to make emergency landing in New Mexico. I know how to take a hint!Sen. Marco Rubio • Took to Twitter to explain why he had to call into a Romney campaign event in Iowa from New Mexico. Rubio was supposed to make a speech on Saturday in Des Moines, Iowa at a rally for Romney; his plane in Albuquerque had some kind of electrical problem. According to Atlantic Aviation, passengers “thought the battery was overheating and believed they saw smoke.” source (via • follow)
