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.
