"Jon Stewart tore into The New York Times’ coverage of Marco Rubio on
“The Daily Show” Wednesday night, mocking the Gray Lady for its
reporting on the senator’s traffic violations and financial issues.
On Tuesday, the Times published an article headlined “Marco Rubio’s Career Bedeviled by Financial Struggles,” referencing in it Rubio’s purchase of an $80,000 “luxury speedboat” as he
continued to
face outstanding debts. Rubio spokesperson Alex Conant told POLITICO
the same day that the vessel is an offshore fishing boat. The same
Times report also found that Rubio used $100,000 from an $800,000
payment to write his book “An American Son” to pay off his student
loans.
“You bastard! Paying off law school loans? How dare you. At long last, senator, have you no sense of insolvency?” Stewart deadpanned.
That story followed a shorter item last Friday in which the Times reported on the 17 parking tickets accrued by Rubio and his wife Jeanette. (His wife racked up 13 of those citations in that time; Rubio had 4.)
“Oh sh—! Marco Rubio got … 4 tickets! In … 17 years! I assume The New York Times obtained this damning information from Marco Rubio’s plaque in the ‘Hall of Best Miami Drivers Ever,’” Stewart cracked." msn
