Someone – certainly not oppo
researchers working for another GOP 2016 presidential wannabe from
the Sunshine State! – spoon-fed NYTimes reporters the
story that Marco Rubio and his spouse have between them 17
traffic tickets in 18 years.
Putting aside the question of
who might have had easy access to state records like that –
certainly not a former governor from Rubio's home state who'd like to
bump him out of the competition for sugar-daddy cash and favorite son
status! – it seems to me that the important question is this:
Does anyone really think we're still living in
a world where the idea that United States Senators – to say nothing of
presidential contenders – and to say less than nothing of GOP
presidential contenders – believe that the quotidian rules that apply to
losers like us don't apply to them is somehow news? Is somehow shocking?
Oh, Gray Lady, please. As St.
George famously explained, "It's a big club, and you ain't in it. You and I are
not in the big club."
