Rubio's right but still wrong for Tea Party

Rubio, 40, may be to the right of Michele Bachmann and hanging in there with the likes of tough-guy Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio in his anti-immigrant positions, but birthers go postal imagining this child of immigrants a heartbeat away from the presidency.

"Marco Rubio is not now and never can be a Natural Born Citizen because his parents were not citizens at the time he was born ...," the blogger "Obama Release Your Records" recently pontificated.

Even though he was born in Miami, he can never be President or vice president, the argument goes. And if the Constitution says otherwise - as the 14th Amendment does - too bad. Birthers know best.

But no matter how far right he goes, Rubio will never be American enough for some crazies in the birthers movement.

1. So he's an American-born nut case

As long as the birthers have enough reason to tear their hair out over his Cuban parentage, there's
one less right-wing poster boy that will get their frothing-at-the-mouth support. Fine with me.

2. The far right has always been cool with Cuban refugees.

You know, because they are escaping the perils of socialism.
