1. Is this his way of pleading the fifth?

[TheOther95Percent]

15. Have a heart on me!

[Shoulders of Giants]

65. Thank you for the heart!

[JaneyVee]

49. Balls of steel, that Marco Rubio.

[colsohlibgal]

2. Of Course He Did

So did Obama, Bill Clinton, and likely Hillary. So did most of those in congress right now. I sure did, most people I know did.

How about just being honest. Did it and did not inhale is laughable unless you're talking about Brownies or some other baked good.

[Enthusiast]

33. Hillary was a heavy doper.

I thought you knew that.

[malthaussen]

3. "kids will look up to me?"

Gee, I sure hope not. Maybe he's making a height reference.

4. He needs a hit or two of purple microdot

maybe he would discover he has a soul?

[Rozlee]

5. Argh. This is verbal constipation at its worse.

Only I don't think this guy is ever gonna give us a "nugget" of truth.

[TheOther95Percent]

17. And a heart for you! NFT.

[Rozlee]

24. Back atcha!

[chollybocker]

7. Hilarious.

[oldandhappy]

8. and continuing to make dumb decisions

re immigration, health care, women, voting, ha ha ha

[LittleGirl]

9. he thinks teenagers know him?

bwahaaahaaa...I know there are some smart teens out there but they wouldn't be paying attention to politics and who said what.

I know there are exceptions to this but frankly, I think it's comical how these politicians think teens pay attention. So full of themselves.

[DeSwiss]

10. ''When I was 17, 18 and 16?''

- He seems to have a chronological-order disorder. BTW Senator, you said you didn't need marijuana to further your making of bad decisions? So are you saying that you made all your bad decisions, naturally? Do you use anything now that you're older and losing a step or two? Or are your bad decision-making skills as good as ever?

14. That picture is gut-bustingly hilarious! nt

[BelgianMadCow]

42. had me grinning loudly

yes, that makes me sound like a cat. So be it.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

11. That explains this:

[MADem]

13. Don't those "club drugs" make the kids all thirsty-n-such?

Maybe he's been hanging out with that Miley Cyrus!

[awoke_in_2003]

60. The three or four times I smoked...

I got dry mouth.

[JTFrog]

52. Beat me to it!

[DesertRat]

55. My thoughts exactly

[MADem]

12. Geez--don't ask him the Eric Clapton question, then!!!!

[zebonaut]

16. Proof, that if you smoke Pot you can grow up to be a Senator or even The President

[TheOther95Percent]

20. And a heart for you! NFT.

[Enthusiast]

32. And such a president! Inspiring to all of us.

See, pot should remain illegal. Dubya is proof. I kid.

[dotymed]

61. I think Dubya's

Drugs of choice were cocaine and alcohol. Daddy still made sure he was selected....

[Enthusiast]

62. I believe you are right.

[Babel_17]

21. "My question for you, Sen. Rubio"

"Did a 16 year old Marco Rubio get away with breaking the law?"

"Strike that question; Did a 16 year old Marco Rubio deserve jail time? If your answer is 'no'; Why does a 16 year old kid today risk such a sentence?" (the only defensible justification for saying "no" is that the kid broke the law on pot but Rubio never did that)

"If yes, are you willing now to accept the very limited punishment of having to admit to acting stupidly?"

"Is it one standard for all Senator Rubio, yes or no? Why should you skate free for breaking a law you want to see enforced?"

[LuckyLib]

27. My question as well: so, those Texans sitting

in jail on pot charges can use your response "it's irrelevant". Yes, Marco, it is a two-tiered justice system.

[TBF]

22. Ha! nt

[Coyotl]

23. In other words, "Hey, I'm running for President here, so ...."

I can't get caught lying just now

[Arkana]

25. I much prefer Obama's answer on pot: "Yes, I inhaled. That was the point."

[gopiscrap]

26. what a fucking hypocritical asswipe!

[DangerousRhythm]

28. He's a terrible liar.

If he said just one word, "Nope," he wouldn't look nearly as guilty as he does with that super long explanation of why he's pleading the fifth. That pic is hilarious!

[Thav]

39. Exactly.

He should have said, "No." Instead of "Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo....."

The difference in the two being the responses of "Pfft, he probably did." and "Wow, what a liar, he was probably baked his entire teenage years."

But he tried to save his position against pot, and used his pulpit to dig a huge hole for himself instead.

[Gothmog]

29. Rubio would be weak candidate

I have never been impressed with Rubio. I really think that he lacks the intelligence to be a strong candidate.

[tomg]

30. They all pretty much got high:

Dems, Repub, Independents, Greens, Democratic Socialists ( like me), and most use the same nonsensical excuse. Repubs say "I won't answer because then kids might see it as blah blah blah." Dems say "I did, but you shouldn't because blah blah blah." In other words, "you will screw up your life."

Really? Everybody I currently know smoked weed, and I am 64. My friends are lawyers and doctors and carpenters and teachers and artists and plumbers and social workers and so on and so on and scoobie doobie doobie ( always liked Sly). We all got high. Lots of us still get high.

The difference between me and my kids? They knew enough not to get high ( or drink, thank XXX) and drive by the time they had a license.

I wish the politicians - all of them - would all say "I got high, but I am not going to legalize it until I figure out how I can get some lobbyist money."

[Enthusiast]

31. K&R! Funny!

[jberryhill]

34. For three years straight, apparently

[Sinnakka]

35. Rubi-blow

I would like to call Rubio's answer a French "NO".

[PDittie]

36. "At this point, what difference does it make?"

(Sorry, Hillary folks.)

[Isoldeblue]

37. Almost too funny.

Does he think that by "slyly" denying it, he has a chance at become the POTUS? Yea, right.............

[Thor_MN]

40. He does, but he doesn't get the munchies.. Just really, really thirsty.

He didn't stop make dumb decision when he was 17 and 18 and 16 (Who the hell counts like that?)

[BelgianMadCow]

41. Brilliantly done!

the fade-out of the text and then the BIG FAT letters. Love it

[Cha]

43. "It's irrelevant" except when Obama has done it, right?

Why didn't he just lie? It wouldn't be the first time or the last.

[tavernier]

44. Umm... dude...

[SoapBox]

45. What a maroon!

Hey Rube...see, right in front of you, pile of shit?!?

OH...stepped right in it!

Idiot.

[SummerSnow]

46. bet he called all his 'joints' "Rubio's"..lol

[SummerSnow]

47. Proof he smoked pot....

Describing the size of the biggest joint he smoked


High right here


confused


hallucinations


sweating


laughing at anything


paranoid

[Iwillnevergiveup]

48. The tipoff was when his crowd all went swimming

They played "Marco" "Rubio" instead of "Marco" "Polo." 'Cause they was hammered.

Que idiota.

[bayareaboy]

50. Didn't Marco tell us when His Family came to America...

Didn't get that one right either.

So you figure that he should be honest about whether he has ever smoked some dubbigge.

[RandySF]

51. George W Bush said the exact same thing in 2000

[RoccoR5955]

53. How much you wanna bet he still does? n/t

[arcane1]

54. It's getting to the point where I'm almost pitying these hapless fools.

Almost

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

63. If he wasn't such a repulsive bag of sh!t, I mean be inclined...

But no. Not really.

[rocktivity]

56. He sure talks as if he did!

57. Rubio refuses to offer kids who smoke weed hope they can "make it" in society. nt

[gerogie2]

58. Hippocrates.

I remember many years ago there was an rabid anti-abortion congressman that screamed about abortion being murder. Then it turned out he had paid 2 or 3 women a few thousand dollars each to have an abortion.

[thesquanderer]

59. If "you wouldn't believe me" is his only reason for not saying "no"...

... then I think the next question is, why does he think people won't believe him?

According to the statistics I've seen, somewhere between about 40% and 60% of American adults have never tried pot. If Rubio claimed to be among them, why shouldn't people believe him? Does he think he has a credibility problem? It seems that would be a bigger issue for a candidate than whether or not he ever smoked pot.

So my followup: "Senator Rubio, you say people wouldn't believe you. Why do you think it is that people find you untrustworthy?"

(Of course, the real reason for not wanting to say No is that he knows that it somehow may come out in the future that he did smoke pot; and what's worse than saying you smoked pot? Saying you didn't and then being shown to be a liar.)

[gwheezie]

64. Rubio is not up to this level of play

And he got spanked bad by the teabags, they skeered him off. I hope he's the only one left standing though when they have the gop primary massacre in 16.
