As I predicted, Rubio’s SOTU response has left the media in a state of apoplexy. As a result, Rubio Derangement Syndrome has become a full-blown pandemic. Continue reading

Rubio Derangement Syndrome
If there’s one thing we can count on, just as certain as the sun rises from the East, it is that a Univisión Noticias staffer will at some point (to filch El SooperMexican’s term) go bath-salts crazy at the mere mention of El Senador Marco Antonio Rubio. Continue reading
Immigration: history repeats itself

After watching a couple of its proponents try to pitch the label on yesterday’s Al Punto (Univision’s Sunday political talking-head show), I am certain of it. Continue reading
