Well, we already know young media dazzler
Sen. Marco "Glug Glug" Rubio (R-MIAmi) has been -- shall we say --
lax in performing his Senate duties while running for President. It seems, however, young Glug Glug has
a long history of not doing the job he was elected to do:
In the anxious weeks after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist
attacks, the Florida House hurriedly assembled an elite group of
lawmakers to develop plans to keep the state safe.
A
spot on the Select Committee on Security was a mark of prominence in
Tallahassee. Some of the airplane hijackers had acquired Florida
driver’s licenses and trained at flight schools in the state, and
legislators lobbied furiously behind the scenes in hopes of being named
to the 12-member panel tasked with addressing the state’s newly exposed
vulnerabilities.
It came as little surprise that Marco
Rubio, a promising and charismatic young lawmaker from Miami, secured a
coveted position on the committee.
Rubio did not give the job the attention that legislative leaders
expected. He skipped nearly half of the meetings over the first five
months of the panel’s existence, more than any of his colleagues,
according to Florida legislature records. He missed hours of expert
testimony and was absent for more than 20 votes — prompting the state
House speaker who had given him the assignment to express concern, the
committee’s chairman said. (our emphasis)
Tell us if this doesn't also sound like the ambitious, superficial little
gusano he is:
At times, Rubio befuddled his colleagues, both Democrats and
Republicans. After apologizing for arriving late to a debate in February
2002 about a proposed system to track foreign students, Rubio argued
passionately that the proposal would unfairly target law-abiding
immigrants, such as those who had entered the country as refugees or to
seek political asylum. But he quickly backed down in the face of
opposition and, then, despite his publicly stated misgivings, went ahead
and voted for the proposal.
That's your serious "establishment" Republican and "mainstream" media darling and last hope, folks.
