Rubio's credit card hypocrisy: 'Examine everybody else's statements except mine'

A day ago, Marco Rubio demanded the release all Jim Greer's GOP credit card statements during his time as chairman of the state party.

"I would ask you to strongly consider releasing all AMEX statement from Jim Greer's time as chairman to the RPOF Executive Committee," stated Rubio's letter, which tried to link Greer to Charlie Crist, his GOP primary opponent.

But it's interesting to note that Rubio won't release all his credit card statements. The Miami Herald and St. Petersburg Times obtained a portion of his statements during his tenure as House Speaker but the records didn't date back when he first received his party credit card.

So how does Rubio's campaign explain the seemingly hypocritical stance? They couldn't.

Oh, by the way, Rubio just got around to reimbursing the RPOF for the airline tickets he double-billed to the state and to the RPOF. Yesterday.

Do ya suppose it's because Rubio's been incriminated and he and his cronies are now under investigation by the US Attorney, FBI and IRS and it's hitting the newspapers in ever-increasing detail?


Wonder how many times he's been on the phone to Jeb today?


Maybe he's hoping that sword of the mystical warrior Chang that Jeb bestowed upon him will save his behind.

1. The really sad part is

He'll probably win the election anyway.

2. In which case, I would submit

That Florida will deserve whatever happens to them under Rubio's misrule. It's not like this kind of corruption is anything new (at least according to my reading of the works of Carl Hiassen); when Floridians get fed up with it at last, perhaps they'll elect candidates who aren't crooks. Until then, though . . .
