Marco’s left ear

Comedy Central is making fun of him. Even New York Times columnist Paul Krugman, a somber and serious writer, commented in his latest column that zombies have eaten Marco Rubio’s brain. At this point most everybody has had something to say about Rubio’s performance Tuesday night – most negatively, and a few downright funny (watch the video below).

But Rubio’s Tuesday night performance also did receive a handful of positive nods. So I suppose there are still a few believers in Marco as savior.

Rubio himself seems to have concocted a Plan B in case his presidential aspirations don’t pan out. He’s now selling Marco Water, or is it Rubio’s Sweet Tea (a party in a bottle, he says) – they say it quenches the thirst in the toughest of moments. That is except if you’re an immigrant, a person of color, or, even more importantly (in Marco’s case), if you can’t afford to pay for it. Eight ounce bottles of Marco’s tea are selling for $25 a pop.

Too steep for your taste? Mine too.

One last thing I’d like to bring up about last Tuesday’s GOP response to the president’s State of the Union. Did you see Rubio’s eyes? A shiny, glistening blue. Contact lenses to enhance the white-boy look, I guess.

Well… it’s really two last things. What about Marco’s ears? Especially his left one (the right one to the viewer). Not since President Lyndon B. Johnson do I remember such large guatacas on a politician.
