Time.com's Zeke Miller tweeted yesterday that a "reporter" asked recently declared presidential candidate Marco Rubio of Florida the following question: "Is 43 old enough to be president?" Meanwhile, two weeks ago, a column at Time.com claimed that Hillary Clinton is "biologically primed to be a leader." Seriously.
Since he either can't or won't tell us who asked the question, we're unable to determine if the "reporter" to whom Miller referred was asking the question because he or she doesn't know the Constitution or was trying to bait Rubio into giving an answer implicitly or explicitly criticizing other candidates. It would be worth knowing, because the first answer betrays ignorance, while the second reveals bias and a likely double standard in interviewing. Miller's tweet, which includes Rubio's priceless answer, is after the jump:

Hmmm, Democrat icon JFK was 43 when he became president.
Kennedy was 43, no?
The Republicans — ALL the Republicans — need to start running against the press. If you run against the press, you ARE running against Hillary. Show the American people how they are being lied to, every day.
TED CRUZ is 44 - perfect age to be POTUS
Something that people don’t know, is that Navy Lt. Commander, and twice Vice President of the United States, Richard Nixon, was only 47 when he ran against the most youthful and heroic, and the most navy man in all of history.
So does this mean liberals don’t want a hormone amped up female as President? Guess it does make sense, just can’t risk giving those nuke codes to an out of control pre-menstrul syndrome woman.
Bob Dole and even Reagan were constantly questioned as being too old. Same age as Hillary but the party the libs love to bash.
.... Ya .... JFK was 43 years old when he took office ... and of course the greatest and mightiest leader of all time (according to Obamaphants)... Barack Hussein Obama was just barely older at 47 years old .....
.... So .... where is the big problem with these liberals? Are they inadvertently admitting Obama is doing a crappy job? Or are they having a tough time finding enough dirt on this seasons nominees?
... I think a mixture of both.
Hillary could be a zombie and the MSM would support her ... wait ... never mind ...
The way Rubio’s going, he’ll be Hillary by the time the election gets here.
Rubio is the Republicans’ answer to JFK - what’s wrong with that?’’’’’’
Whenever an issue like this arises, hypocrisy abounds. I can’t stand it.
Just imagine if Republicans asserted that a post-meno woman was ideal (as unopposed to a pre), oh my God would the feminists go apeshite.
Rub has more Senate exp than Obama did BTW.
Rubio’s problem iisn’t his age, it’s his inability to tell the truth in English.
HELLary is post MANopausal...
Yeah. Whether you like Rubio or not, his age is not the problem.
Hillary, in my opinion, is old for her age. She’s 66-67? She acts like she’s 80. She’s seriously old and tired, and I think she probably wouldn’t even be running except for her ego and her desire to rival her husband...and his desire to keep the Clinton money machine green.
...and Pre-Cambrian.
Trading a Mulatto Marxist for a (Post) Menopausal Marxist?
In today’s America, I’m not surprised.
Both Communists, both Alinsky apostles, both sex perverts, both congenital liars, both America-haters, both Constitution-deniers, both drug/alcohol abusers, both in sham political marriages. Peas in a pod, one Halfrican, one Lesbian. So alike that they despise each other.
