BEHOLD! THE MAJESTIC… AH, MAJESTY OF THE RUBIO BOAT!!!!!

TREMBLE AT ITS ONE-PERCENT GLORY!!!!!!

…Seriously, New York Times? Seriously? Does that paper even look at the material that American Bridge sends them, these days?

Oh, man. I cannot wait to hear how Politico Buzzfeed probably TMZ, at this point will explain this away for the New York Times.  Said explanation will be epic in its dignity… and by ‘epic’ I mean that I expect that TMZ will be told by the NYT that anybody who finds this story stupid is himself a stupid-stupid poopy-head who has blogger-cooties and smells like internet-cheese.  Because we’ve long since passed the point where dignity was involved in the NYT’s journalistic process.

PS: Background here, by the way. Short version: the New York Times has just realized that they are going to have to portray an elderly, largely unlikable, and rule-stretching crony capitalist as being an innovative fresh-faced savior of the Republic.  As you can see, their sanity did not survive this moment of terrible anagnorisis.

PPS: If you really want to see some… ah, ‘people unfamiliar with boats:’ note the people replying to that who think that this vessel wasn’t worth $80K. Clearly, they do not know that a boat is defined as “a hole in the water which you pour money into.”

  1. … Can we get a comparative pic of SecState Kerry’s boat?

    (I would ask for a pic of (dead) Sen. Kennedy’s, but it would invite too many “Oldsmobile in a river” pictures.)

  2. All the people they know who have boats are disgustingly rich and flaunt it.
    Therefore, all people who have boats are disgustingly rich and flaunt it.
    All you have to be is insular and incurious.

  3. This is one of those touchstones that can work with people. A lot of people own boats, have owned boats, or want to own boats. And there are a lot of boats just like that out there and people know what those boats are like and what they are worth. These people – voters – may not have knowledge about federal budgets or foreign policy but things that are within their sphere of interest? Yep, they know that. And playing up this boat only makes Rubio more relatable to these voters. He seems “more like one of us”. Playing up this vote only strengthens Rubio.

    If I had been the NYT I wouldn’t have brought it up, but then again I haven’t had to foresee settling on Hillary Clinton as a candidate – and despairing.
