Bill Buckley used to tell a funny story about a heroic attempt to survive a faux pas. A young lieutenant is obliged to attend a social event in a prominent hotel with a general. In the lobby, in an attempt to make conversation, the lieutenant says, “Look there, that’s the ugliest woman I’ve ever seen,” nodding toward two women in conversation on the other side of the lobby. “That’s my wife,” the general said. In an attempt to recover, the lieutenant says, “Oh, I meant the young woman with her.” The general says, “That’s my daughter.” The lieutenant, who knows he’s in deep yogurt now, thinks desperately for a second, finally smiles, looks directly at the general and says, “I never said it.” Charlie Crist, Florida’s RINO governor who badly wants to be a RINO U.S. Senator from Florida, is trying to run this same revisionist scam.

When the Gipper left office in January of 1989, the Republican establishment remembered these vital lessons. For about an hour and a half.
Rubio It's You
If Republicans wish to be a party with a purpose, one that seriously opposes the leftward rush of our rookie president and his merry band, Mitch McConnell will not be quick to say, “Come on back, all is forgiven.” Now there’s at least a chance that Florida will not be replacing Arlen with another Senate RINO after the 2010 election. Last Wednesday, Marco Rubio, a 37-year-old, Cuban-American lawyer from Miami and a former speaker of the Florida House, declared he will be running for the U.S. Senate seat that Republican Mel Martinez will relinquish when his term ends next year.
