IRS Investigating Rubio

Uber right-winger and teabagger fave Marco "Boobie-o" Rubio may have hit a snag in his quest to beat Charlie Crist for the Rethug nomination for U.S. Senate in Florida. We noted in February that Boobie-o was feeling heat because of his Rethug credit card charges. Now, it seems the IRS is investigating Boobie-o's use of his Rethug credit card for personal expenses, and then not reporting it on his taxes. Will this be enough to derail his campaign (he's 30 points ahead of Crist in Rethug voter polling)? We hope not. We'd love to see this fair-haired wingnut jackass go down - but not until he pushes Crist into a 3-way race for Senate - a race Crist (as an independent) or even Democrat Kendrick Meek has a better chance of winning. Either would be an improvement over Boobie-o.

Because I'm Marco Rubio, That's Why

The latest wingnut heartthrob, Florida U.S. Senate candidate Marco "Chaarrrge It!" Rubio, is taking heat for running up thousands of dollars in personal charges to the Florida Rethuglican Party's credit account while he was speaker of the Florida legislature. Some of the personal expenses included a $100 haircut (maybe John Edwards' barber), car repairs, food and wine, computer and electronics items and "supplies" from a lumber store.

Chaarrrge It! says he's completely innocent, and blames allies of his rival Charlie Crist for the story. Of course, as a rising right-wing icon, Chaarrrge It! lives by his own rules and reality (see snowbilly queen Winky You Betcha), so whatever he was able to grab is his by rights, dammit. Survival of the greedi . . .er, fittest!
