Marco Rubio, who insists repeatedly that he has little interest in the vice presidency, continues to accept every fluffy interview that offers him a platform to talk about the vice presidency. Check out this most recent, sorta definitive one with Major Garrett, who asked him, “So, if Mitt Romney asks, you will you say no?” and got the reply “Yes. But you know he’s not going to ask. That doesn’t work. He’s watching this interview right now.” So there it is: Marco Rubio has confirmed that he will say “no” when Mitt asks him to be his first. But what about when Mitt asks him to be Vice President? See, there’s plenty of wiggle room here.
Now that Rubio has directly stated (absurd wiggle-room fantasies aside) that he will say “no” to an offer for the vice presidency, the political media will respond by asking him the same question but a hundred times more frequently. Look, Rubio, you’re part of a fucking narrative we’ve created for the next few months, so please cooperate and don’t give clear answers to anything, okay? Good. Now let’s skip the part where you say, conclusively, that you will not accept an offer to be vice president, and move along to the bullshit mindreading speculation about nothing:
As his interview wound down, Rubio made a bit of a slip when he talked about his future after his career as a vice president, not a senator.
“Three, four, five, six, seven years from now, if I do a good job as vice president, I’m sorry,” Rubio said as he caught himself. “If I do a good job as a senator instead of a vice president, I’ll have a chance to do all sorts of things, including commissioner of the NFL, which is where the real power is.”
Oooh, slip! Gotcha! Marco Rubio totally wants to be VP but would he accept it??? Someone should ask him.

If Marco accepts, will he get his magic underoos out of storage?
Rubio also said he's interested in just staying friends with Sally, but did she say he "liked liked him" because if she did, he might be interested in going out on a date, but nothing serious. She should really call him sometime.
OT for the 'Heads among us: Tonight there will be an awesome movie.

Baconz too drunk to comment today. Big wooing clients….etc, etc.
Saw this the other day, thought you'd get a kick out of it.
Bacon Coffin
That's so last week
I don't think Baconz can have milk and bacon PBJ and vodka……….MAYBE THOUGH?……?
Why not just cut to the chase? http://www.drinknation.com/drink/bacon-martini
I know what I'm going to be planted it now…AWSOME BLING BLING!
yeah, that was me last week. My corporate card was beast-raped by the client's addiction to titty bars.
Do you itemize the particular services the client enjoyed on the expense report? Because if so, that's totally awesome.
It's itemized as "amenities and services for business purpose," but we all know what that means.
I like my Baconz crispy .
Already Limey *in a smarmy voice and a wink* (I really don't know what you said means or my retort means but, here's my try) I'm SOOOOO CRIPSY for YOU!
Does that work for you?
I have no idea what it means , either, I just used to say that when I was a child.
…cripsy?
BakonzFoLife cuzz! *shoots crip gang sign*
The cheeseburger is the cherry on top.
Condoleezza, thigh high black boots, Rice. A two fer, black and a woman
Even better, Condi won't keep anyone in suspense about whether she'll commit war crimes.
Again.
Commissioner of the NFL? Condi gonna kick your azz.
There's Something About Marco.
Marco……
Polo……
Marco….
Didn't he invent spaghetti?
Momma mia, that's a spicy meatball!
He made that Marco Polo joke vis a vis waterboarding at CPAC a couple of years back. Fits him like a glove.
Anchor babies can be VP?
IOKIYAR
Alt-text win.
" Now that Rubio has directly stated (absurd wiggle-room fantasies aside) that he will say “no” to an offer for the vice presidency, the political media will respond by asking him the same question but a hundred times more frequently."
Have you guys been watching how the media treats a certain overweight governor, every election season, by any chance?
By feeding him cheeseburgers?
Wake me when we're back to Bobby Jindal.
He's busy baby sitting volcanoes.
When asked if he'd like to take a ride on the roof of Mitt's car, Rubio replied:
"No!
I mean, Yes!
I mean, Woof!!"
Apparently, Rubio lives in a nation where Senators serve for seven years.
Cuba?
No story here. This is just about waving a tar baby in the air.
Why does he hate football?
Where's the Birf Certificate, Marco?

Rubio having any political career shows that Florida wasn't ready for participatory democracy.
Marco Rubio has confirmed that he will say “no” when Mitt asks him to be his first.
Good eye, Rubio, Mister Resistor! You remembered that such offers to be your "first" qualifies as "gateway
interdiscourse," and demurred accordingly. (Did you perchance spend time in school in Tennessee?)Yes, no, maybe. It doesn't really matter much this election year, but sometimes it's hard to tell if a Republican is lying about lying.
And later it gets even harder, when they start lying about lying about lying….

I really do like the cube he invented. Did he have anything to do with Pet Rocks?
He was the model.
The mystery deepens — the question is still unsettled — just like that one about whether smoking causes cancer. Oh, if we only knew.
Of if increased access to firearms leads to more homicides. The jury is still out (not really).
He's got VPness all over him. Seriously, he's got more cum in his hair than hair in the cum.
What Marco didn't mention was that immediately after saying "no", he would say "way I'm going to turn that offer down!"
"If nominated, I will not accept; if drafted, I will not run; if elected, I will not serve."

I'm more fond of this quote by Sherman.
They had it coming,
They had it coming,
They only had themselves to blaaame…

Marc Rubio says "No" to Veep choice because he wants to focus on modeling for shampoo commercials.
Marco Rubio's Psychic Parents fled Castro more than two freaking years before the coup. We should ask THEM what he's going to do.
Welllll, Arizona's new anti-abortion law includes fetuses that weren't even conceived yet, so why can't Marco be considered a refugee even though they didn't exist when he came to America?
Smooth, Marco.
Subtle and smooth.
Between the flyaway hair and the cheeky ambivalence, wouldn't this joker be better off as The Donald's running mate?
With a little effort, he could be the Sarah Palin of 2012.
Rubio's got illegitimate grandchildren?
Very little effort, in fact.
A red, 2-piece leather outfit and black pumps could work wonders for him. But will Tina Fey be able to do a good Rubio?
He's just afraid of the Birthers.
When asked if he would be willing to be VP Rubio said, "It’s about Yes — the fiat of a young virgin in Miami.".
That cunt.
He's promoting his new line of hair products–"Mousselini Just For Men."
I’ll have a chance to do all sorts of things, including commissioner of the NFL
And here I thought Goodell was bad…
Woooooo! I got this page at 49 comments! No thread collapsing!
I'm hoping it'll be Santorum, because the debate with Biden would be epic comedy.
I was hoping (planning to vote in the ReThug primary) for Cain, 'cos the 2012 Obama- Cain Debates would've produced teh Epic Lulz 4-evar!!!!1!!!
He's being coy…playing hard to get. You KNOW that bitch would whore himself out in a heartbeat.
Marco is going to be bald in about 4 years.
"3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34 years from now, if I do a good job as Mitt Romney's husband…"
You stole mah magic lottery numbers!!11!
My money is on John Thune. The repubs are going to bridge that gender gap with a dreamy, dip shit.
That sound quite plausible to me. Unfortunately.
Mitt, if you are reading this, I am sorry but I have to say no to the Veep job. Even though you won't ask me, but if you did, well, no, I just couldn't. You're not going to ask me, are you? I mean, well, it would be nice to be asked, but still I wouldn't take the VP position.
But Hey, I understand, Sarah's in between quitting jobs. Also.
Well, Rubio was/is a Mormon, so he's still on RMoney's short(bus)-list… but Rubio's not waiting by the phone for Mittbott's call, and his price is "open to negotiation" based on how desperate Mittbott gets…
Marcooooooooo Rubioooooooooo! ARE YOU READY TO RUMMBLE?
You know, I keep telling myself to to be surprised by whatever new piece of corrupt idiocy these goons come up with, but every time, every single goddamn time they do…Jesus Christ, this is depressing.
God Dammit, I meant NOT surprised…
Repugs love their En Ef El. Rushbo, Dennis Miller, Hank Williams (Jr., not the talented Sr. one who drunk hisownself to death rather than live to see how his disgrace of a son would stain the family name), Rubio… It's nothing but episodes of violence punctuated by committee meetings, played by overgrown, steroid-fed cretins who can't think for themselves. It sounds just like the GOP House caucus, in fact. Still can't figure out why W gravitated toward baseball.
Marco looks rather well-turned-out, if you know what I mean. But, being a Republican, there's no way he's ghey, right?
I used to like Rubio's tacos in San Diego, but it sounds like they've really went downhill…
Waiting for the poll of the gator-rasslin' community. Its members are having a difficult time signing the word "X" to their ballots.
Marco Rubio will do a satisfactory job of losing on Mitt Romneys ticket and make himself well-qualified to run for the top job in 2016 against Hillary Clinton, who is not running in 2016.
He demonstrated his Republican bona fides by lying.
Ah, the GOP and their carnival of rank phoniness. Every one of their young "stars" is a fraud.
I'm frankly surprised he'd take that Koch out of his mouth long enough to say anything.
Newell, when you actually alt text, it's amazeballs.
