Empty Bottle Quote of the Day

"It has been amusing to watch Marco Rubio, The Future Of The Rebranded GOP, try to struggle free of the shrink wrap while half his party flings poo at him. He was going to be the guy who led his party out of its increasingly tiny, and largely melanin-free, wilderness. He was the party's voice of reason on Immigration Reform. Christ above, did he back the wrong horse. He discovered to his horror that his party likes being in the wilderness. You can eat with your fingers, run around shoeless, and pee behind trees. By the time he figured all of this out, the party had found Ted Cruz, who is completely nuts, but who is as Cuban as Rubio. Right now, Marco Rubio looks as relevant to Republican politics going forward as Robert Taft does."  -- Esquire's Charles P. Pierce, pointing out that Sen. Marco "Glug Glug" Rubio's national ambitions won't allow him to break free of the Stupid Party base's bigotry, whereas Sen. "Tailgunner Ted" Cruz will ride the teabagger nativist train right off the cliff.  Much to our delight.
