MEDIA: NEVER MIND HILLARY’S SCANDALS, LET’S TALK ABOUT MARCO RUBIO’S WIFE’S DRIVING HABITS

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Breitbart:

Remember how the media left Barack Obama completely unvetted, ignoring even the most damaging stories from his past, while a squirming mass of reporters fought over every scrap of trash in the dumpster behind Sarah Palin’s house? It’s happening again.

 

For some reason, the New York Times decided to devote two reporters to the urgent task of reviewing Senator and presidential candidate Sen. Marco Rubio's (R-FL) driving record over the past 18 years. And they still couldn’t make much of a story about it, so they decided to add his wife’s record to the story.

 

Voila! “Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and His Wife Cited 17 Times for Traffic Infractions,” screams the headline. For some reason, the headline fails to mention that they had to dig back to 1997 to come up with that total. I’m sure it’s just a bit of editorial oversight that “… Over the Past 18 Years” was chopped off the headline.

 

What festers beneath the headline reads like a satire of a biased-media hit piece. Remember, as the following prose was tumbling off the word processor, the front-running Democrat candidate for 2016 is dealing with an endless string of payola scandals tied to phony charity and shell corporations, not to mention deleting a mountain of subpoenaed emails she was keeping on an illegal black-box server:

Senator Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) has been in a hurry to get to the top, rising from state legislator to United States senator in the span of a decade and now running for president at age 44.

 

But politics is not the only area where Mr. Rubio, a Republican from Florida, has an affinity for the fast track. He and his wife, Jeanette, have also shown a tendency to be in a rush on the road.

 

According to a search of the Miami-Dade and Duval County court dockets, the Rubios have been cited for numerous infractions over the years for incidents that included speeding, driving through red lights and careless driving. A review of records dating back to 1997 shows that the couple had a combined 17 citations: Mr. Rubio with four and his wife with 13. On four separate occasions they agreed to attend remedial driving school after a violation.

 

Mr. Rubio’s troubles behind the wheel predate his days in politics. In 1997, when he was cited for careless driving by a Florida Highway Patrol officer, he was fined and took voluntary driving classes. A dozen years later, in 2009, he was ticketed for speeding on a highway in Duval County and found himself back in driver improvement school.

 

Things got more complicated in 2011 when Mr. Rubio was alerted to the fact that his license was facing suspension after a traffic camera caught him failing to stop at a red light in his beige Buick. His lawyer, Alex Hanna, paid a $16 fee to delay the suspension and eventually it was dismissed.

 

 

On and on it goes. It’s as long as anything you’ll ever read from the mainstream media about, say, the White House Travel Office, Whitewater, or the sale of America’s uranium to Russia for Clinton cash.

Desperately in search of a non-Clinton scandal.

Sort of like all the headlines on Perry sweating at his announcement. Turns out most of the people there were sweating inside a hanger.

[Geee]

This article mentions that they forgot to mention that this goes back 18 years, but they also forgot to mention that only two of the tickets were Marco's, the rest were his wifes. Is that why they had to include her in the article? After all, wouldn't it look silly to say that the big crime was that Marco had two tickets?
