He also is rumored to have committed jaywalking. And when he was five years old, once fed his lima beans to the family dog.

I dunno....a campaign ad showing him bumping up and down in Biscayne Bay in a high-end speedboat backed by the Miami Vice theme music would be kind of cool.

Rubio's "luxury speedboat" ...


The "luxury speedboat" shown to scale in Hillary's swimming pool!


John ... I thought your excellent editorial could use a couple of relevant illustrations to better place things into their proper perspective ...

He doesn't have it anymore, he lost it on a 3 hour tour.

And he wasn't even the richest guy on the boat, there was some millionaire guy and his wife that kept trying to involve him in schemes vs. the other passengers.

That’s a good one. Of course the Democrats will say he should of got a speeding ticket for that too! Not voting for Rubio, but if these are the lengths the MSM and the Dems have to go to make him look bad to get the heat off Hillary is laughable.

A Florida Senator with 4 traffic tickets in his history, and buying an $80,000 fishing boat, after his first book brings in a big advance.

This is funny stuff.

Boy howdy...that sure is one seriously plush luxury yacht!
That kind of oceangoing ship is usually only seen being piloted by oil barons or royalty. Wow, snazzy! [/sarcasm]

Mr. Winkler himself whom I have met on a few occasions is charmed by the expression but is adamant that the “Jump the Shark” episode was shot at a time the show was doing perfectly well.

For sure, John Kerry’s ANNUAL insurance and dockage is more than what Rubio paid for this luxury boat, which isn’t in the least a luxury boat. I am betting John Kerry’s dinghy is as big and well equipped as Rubio’s boat. If Kerry were a real yachtsman, which is a club of its own and as he likes to pretend, he would speak up for Rubio and school the NYT on boat ownership.

Bingo! The MSM prefers the socialist/commie dems all day long, but they occasionally have to hedge their preferences with a RINO.

I deep sea fish at least four times a year. That boat ain’t a speedboat, ain’t a luxury boat and ain’t a problem for his wallet. Just book a trip on the American Lady or Jade II and see REAL class for a fishing boat.

MY GOD!!! Someone in Florida bought an offshore fishing boat. What horror. This has to be the first time in history someone has made such a purchase. The man is utterly unfit to even breathe. We all know boats are only for Kerrys and Kennedys.

HEY. I think I saw that guy in Viet Nam. It is seared in to my memory. No doubt about it. I was only 3 when the war ended but I was there and no one can tell me otherwise.

I think Rubio even has the audacity to moor his boat in Florida where he lives, not across state lines to save the tax money.

Almost as good as describing Jerry Brown’s desert high speed train as costing in today’s dollars $3,000 per inch. Bringing the insane into a great visual stands faulty arguments on their heads.
