choice rubio detail in the middle of this wapo article (about rand paul's patriot act filabuster):
Late Wednesday night Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), two of his competitors for the GOP presidential nomination, showed up in the chamber. Cruz presided over the body and, when done, spoke on the floor, urging colleagues to support the USA Freedom Act. Rubio presided and appeared to be engrossed in a magazine.

just FYI, jeb bush has important thoughts on climate change
"For the people to say the science is decided on this is really arrogant, to be honest with you"+"I don't think the science is clear of what percentage is man-made and what percentage is natural. It's convoluted"

im no scientist but the percentages look extremely screwy imho

The important thing is we keep questioning whether scientists are lying and not whether it is cool companies can dump carbon into the air we all breathe with little financial disincentive.

Steve Schale, the Florida strategist who wrote the “Marco Rubio scares me” blog post, said that when he worked for the Democratic leader of the Florida House of Representatives, his boss, Dan Gelber, had a saying about Mr. Rubio’s effect on crowds, and about his sincerity: “Young women swoon, old women pass out, and toilets flush themselves.”

Patti Solis Doyle, who ran Mrs. Clinton’s presidential campaign for most of the 2008 contest, said Mr. Rubio “could have the ability to nip away at the numbers for the Democrats.”
Ms. Doyle, the first Hispanic woman to manage a presidential campaign, added that Mr. Rubio could allow Republicans to regain a “reasonable percentage” of the Hispanic vote, which hit a low of 27 percent in the 2012 presidential election.
“He is a powerful speaker,” she added. “He is young. He is very motivational. He has a powerful story.”
Yet another reminder of the stupidity of Democrats. Rubio is not a powerful speaker, is not motivational, and doesn't have a powerful story. He has the intelligence of a salt shaker and the charisma of a corduroy jacket.
He is young, I'll concede.

Each time I read a quote to that effect from a GOP operative, I sense an invisible "...just like Barack Obama." at the end. I think a huge number of Republicans still think to this day that Obama was elected twice because, gosh, he's just got this fabulous gift of gab.

Huckabee seems to have stepped in it good. He either remains steadfast in his support of a serial child molester or he rescinds his support and alienates himself from the braindead evangelical base he's accumulated. Good goin'!

(although that article's pretty shitty - Huck's not being inconsistent with who he forgives, i.e. contrite self-professed evangelical Christians)
― Οὖτις, Friday, 22 May 2015 22:25 (nine years ago) link
tbrr the problem with the Duggar family isn't just the molestation, it's that they acted just like the Catholic Church: denied it, hid it, enabled it, failed to notify authorities or obtain appropriate counseling etc. oh but yeah they did the most important thing in Fuckabee's eyes, they "prayed on it"
― Οὖτις, Friday, 22 May 2015 22:28 (nine years ago) link
It's coming out now that Oprah's producers are the ones who originally brought this story to the attention of the local police back in 2006 after someone alerted them to the molestation and they promptly canceled the Duggar family interview. Wish Oprah had used the full extent of her power to crush the Duggars into powder back then, but telling the police is good enough I suppose.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 22 May 2015 22:38 (nine years ago) link
the Duggar family claim that they had addressed this all appropriately when it happened looks like total horseshit. not surprised Chuckabee would sign off on it, probably feels its similar to what he went through with his puppy murdering progeny
