Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul used to work for Governor Charlie Crist of Florida. Back then she had to this to say about Marco Rubio and tax returns:
“This Marco Rubio is a wheeling and dealing Miami lobbyist and politician, always trying to scam the system for his personal benefit.”
“Instead of answering all of the many questions surrounding his questionable spending habits, Speaker Rubio instead continues to do the Rubio hustle and refuses to release his tax returns in a timely manner,” Saul was quoted saying in a March 28, 2010 Tampa Bay Times story. “Voters in this primary deserve to know the truth, and they deserve to hear it straight from Speaker Rubio.”
What can she say? She’s a mercenary.
But, it’s not surprising that conservatives are braying for her head.
Priceless. The Dems would need 10x the ad buys just to make use of the cornucopia of material the GOPs are raining down upon us.
I’d like to say that that’s what she gets for working for douchebags. Unfortunately, it really does happen on both sides of THIS issue. They take it in turn. Look back to the ’60s and ’70s. Plenty of left on left action.
It’s just the right’s turn now.
Irony stocks surge ahead of the bell.
In political posturing always short irony; go long on integrity…
Um, other way around…
I find it kinda funny that she was unafraid of ripping people in her own party. But then Rubio really is a thief.
Is it just me, or does having Andrea Saul on the official payroll tend to indicate that Romney is not really interested in Rubio for VP?
Of course, if that were the case I guess he’d not be interested in an Aglo-Saxon alliance with Britain, or peace in the Middle East, or expanded trade with Poland, or a meaningful relationship with latino voters, or
Never Mind. I guess not.
Romney is so tone-deaf I wouldn’t put it past him to tap Rubio in spite of that.
Just in from TPM: Reid Aide “source is a Republican”!

Hmmm…McCain, Steve Schnidt, or Nicole Wallace???
ETA: Now the aide is walking it back. Damn, dude should STFU & not add stuff to something that was already working fine
My theory, before and after this little bit of silliness, is John Huntsman Sr.
Evidently, my theory is the same as kos’s theory.
