Richie, I actually never heard of The Washington Post callled WAPO - and I lived there and read the Post for over 38 years. How 'bout that? Something new every day.

Of course, the Post is not in the birther group. Their opinion writer even state it is absurd to think those ridiculous claims would stop either Rubio or Jindal from being President or Vice-President. Those were claims by some of the "birthers" saying why Obama was not a natural-born citizen - but the "birthers" had not made mention of Jindal or Rubio. Sort of the good for the goose scenario, I guess.

As for attacking Rubio, there is the situation where Rubio did lie about his parents fleeing to the US when Castro came to power. "The absurd accusations of the birthers by themselves won’t stop Jindal or Rubio from becoming president. There are far more serious impediments in their way — most recently a devastating report by The Post’s Manuel Roig-Franzia proving false the central narrative of Rubio’s political rise: that he is the son of exiles who fled Cuba under Castro. In fact, his parents left the island, apparently for economic reasons, 21 / 2 years before Castro came to power."

Rubio does seem to be a decent family man but that is a pretty powerful lie and may hurt his future in politics. It will be interesting to see if and how he might change that claim.
