One Coolio Rubio
Marco Rubio is trying to show the kids he’s really cool.
He says that NWA, Eminem and Tupac raps really rule.
But beneath his youthful exterior
Are street creds so inferior
Because we all know he’s really just a Republican tool.

Fox Legal Expert Suggests Obama Could Be Impeached over the Sequester – Even Though It Was Voted into Law with 202 Republican Votes
Fox News legal analyst Andrew Napiltano suggested yesterday that Pres. Obama could be impeached over the sequester:
“This is almost an impeachable offense,” Napolitano [said]. “If the president is deciding how to spend money in order to hurt us, rather than in order to provide us with the services for which we have paid and for which we have hired him, he is doing the opposite of what he has taken an oath to do.”
“He has taken an oath to uphold the laws. That means make the government work. Don’t make it painful, find a way to make it work on 2 percent less.”
The former judge concluded: “That’s the way the constitution works!”
What this Fox legal expert deliberately pretends to ignore, of course, is that impeachment over the sequester would put holdovers among the 174 Republicans in the House and 28 Republicans in the Senate who voted for the sequester in the 112th Congress in a very awkward position. In particular, it would make a majority of House Republicans complicit in the president’s “crime.”
