New York Times Attacks Marco Rubio & Wife Over...Traffic Tickets?!?

[Webster]

...hey, if this is all they got on them, its' pathetically weak sauce from a pathetic newspaper:

(Ace of Spades)
Here's the oppo dump in the New York Times, which I don't suggest you read; I just want you to know that this is real. This happened.

Marco Rubio has had four traffic tickets, "over the years," as the New York Times says, which is... not so many. So the New York Times figures it can just add in his tally with his wife's. Here's how they headline that: Marco Rubio and His Wife Cited 17 Times for Traffic Infractions

This is not a joke. They really did that. Marco Rubio had four measly tickets "over the years" so they just added that to his wife's 13 to come up with a combined 17 traffic tickets between them.

Here's what they don't report: This silly, absurd story (and probably that ridiculous headline, too) was delivered to them hot from David Brock's oppo files and Free Beacon has the proof, and the New York Times "reporters" serving Courtier David won't comment on whether or not the story was given to them by a Brock.

SUV? Ed Morrissey notes the NYT claiming that Mrs. Rubio sideswiped another driver in an "SUV." That SUV was the Ford F150 -- which is a truck. Period. Not an SUV. But it seems like the NYT is trying to Otherize the Rubios.

Incidentally, a reporter on the story just tweeted that he's beingtold that traffic classes are voluntary -- despite his claim in the story that Rubio missed a driving class and was cited for it or ordered back to it or something. So he now seems to be hedging on a central factual claim.

Maybe he should run this by David Brock again to see what he thinks.

Update: The New York Time doesn't respond to the Free Beacon's request for comment -- instead, they go to liberal Dylan Byers at liberal as shit Politico. Just like ABCNews did with the WFB Stephanopolous scoop.

The New York Times denies they got the story from American Bridge -- they're claiming they came upon this on their own. They just happened to be looking at the records at the same time American Bridge was.

.....thoughts?

Looks like the wife is a wild driver.

Looks like the wife is a wild driver.

Its' desperation, Liberty, nothing more...and worse, it looks like the Times outright lied about where they got the info from:

(Ace of Spades)
---New York Times: We Didn't Get the Story From American Bridge; We Found It Ourselves and Pulled the Record with a Document Retrieval Service
Free Beacon: That's Funny, There's No Record of a Document Retrieval Service Pulling Records

Either the Free Beacon is wrong, or the New York Times is flat-out lying in order to hide the fact that American Bridge -- David Brock's Hillary PAC -- is behind their smear against Hillary's likeliest opponent's wife.

Now, if the New York Times used a "document retrieval service," surely it can cough up records of this electronic exchange. Dylan Byers at politico says he will offer more information about this "document retrieval service" when the New York Times provides it to him.

So far-- nothing. Brent Scher provides his own update, though:

(Brent Scher - Washington Free Beacon, 5 June 2015)

If the Times is found to have deliberately lied to cover up liberal bias -- this is going to be huge. A much, much bigger story than Rubio's four traffic tickets.

 

[WHO IS SERAFIN]

I know it is. And I like the fact the family has minor flaws just like you and me. I also like the fact the money is tight and he had to put a 2nd mortgage on his home. Not that I want to see the guy suffer just like the fact he is not bought and paid for. That old hag Clinton would never have the guts to do such a thing with such a risk for what she believes.

 

[DrLeftover]

That flat out disqualifies Rubio from everything.

As for Mrs Clinton, everything this side of Whitewater has been forgiven and forgotten... You know... Vince Foster, Ron Brown, that little dust up about Libya, emails, foreign donations to her charity while she was SOS in negotiations with those countries, no problem, she's fine.

Rubio? Ahhh, he's a bloody criminal.
