Rube

Give her credit, given Governor Sarah Palin's probably scripted performance that made fun of herself possibly running for president on some Saturday Night Live show, recently, at least she gets that she probably shouldn't be running for president of the U.S. anytime soon; but Senator Marco Rubio (R), from Florida, is another matter.  He might actually be running for what?  Rubio reminds me of the commercial, currently running on TV, that has a radio DJ, sans dreadlocks, groomed like a fashionable-looking businessman, pretending to be a financial analyst or something, and has everybody fooled into thinking that he actually knows something about investments and banking as they give him their complete trust.  Give the devil his due, Rubio looks the part: very senatorial, or presidential, for that matter; but he's about as knowledgeable as Palin, and that's not a compliment.

Commoner believes Rubio's on the Foreign Policy committee in the Senate, but given some of his comments or questions as saw on TV, today, you would hardly be alone if you got the feeling that some 6th grader that reads Time magazine, regularly, knows more about foreign policy than this guy.  So this is what goes for top-of-the-line candidates for president of the United States?   Of course, going by the attention and credibility folks like Rubio get from the mainstream media.   And to think some folks gave me a hard time for running for county elections director.
