NYT Uncovers Rubio's puchase of a "Luxury speedboat"



http://freebeacon.com/politics/nyt-slam ... -a-dinghy/





NYT is pathetic.

I lawl'd at that. A 24-ft boat is hardly luxurious. Think of all the parties he can have with this 4-5 other people that can safely fit on it.

The boat was a small piece of the article of which Freebeacon and Tman made a mountain out of. Context.

Right. Context. I mean, if the NYT is going to lie about the type of boat, what else did they lie about? Or get wrong. There's a huge difference between a fishing boat and a luxury boat. I agree with context but it begs the question, what else did they wrong or did they exaggerate?

NYT Slams Rubio for Owning ‘Luxury Speedboat,’ Which is Really a Dinghy


The EdgeWater 245CC Deep-V Center Console, which is the same model Sen. Marco Rubio has.

In the New York Times’ latest effort to take down Sen. Marco Rubio (R., Fla.) and his efforts in running for president, the paper dug through his financial records.The Times found that Rubio “splurged” on what was reported as a “luxury speedboat.” The boat turned out to be a 24-foot EdgeWater 245CC Deep-V Center Console—a fishing boat, for the less nautically inclined. Rubio has said owning the boat has always been a dream.Politico reported that the boat included two new 150-horsepower 4-stroke Yamaha engines—a standard among fishing boats—and is priced at $11,618.00.
The Times overlooked Miami’s multimillion-dollar yachts that have hosted the richest of the rich and instead zeroed in on Rubio’s dream dinghy.
The Times has yet to target current Secretary of State John Kerry’s $7 million yacht and his docking it in Rhode Island to avoid paying $500,000 in Connecticut state sales tax as well an annual $70,000 in an excise taxes. Kerry’s yacht has two cabins, a pilothouse with a wet bar and wine chiller. During the uprising and regime change in Egypt, Secretary Kerry could be found in the Nantucket sound on the “Isabel.” Rubio’s fishing boat has a center control console.
While Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton does not own a luxury speedboat or a multimillion-dollar yacht, she has been photographed cruising around with celebrities and their yachts. In 1993, the Clintons joined then-Sen. Edward Kennedy and former First Lady Jackie Kennedy Onassis on a 70-foot yacht. Maurice Tempelsman, a diamond trader and long time companion of Onassis, owned the yacht.No word from the Rubio campaign if the senator had his flippy-floppies while sailing around on his fishing boat.

NYT is pathetic.

Grab it quick. An '06 model with the same setup sold for 55K.

A quick look shows many for sale, but only has a price associated with it, and it's an 2005 for $44. However, that isn't to say what the Florida records say.

As the article said, a high end fishing boat is a "luxury" item.

So, in other words, you were just trying to diminish a conservative's viewpoint.

Liberal. Troll.

I'd diminish a liberal who thought a $50k+ boat was not a luxury item or who mistook the price of one motor for the price of the entire boat.

[Baldy]

In synopsis...in two NY Times articles, we've learned more about Marco Rubio's personal finances than we ever learned about Barack Obama's.

...also Clinton Family Slush Fund Foundation.

You're owned.

Just like the NYT overzealous attempts to attack Rubio, you have failed.

But that won't stop the indefatigable Klam.

Keep digging, Liberalboy.

The article wasn't a hit piece about elitism (like Kerry) it was a hit piece about mismanaging personal finance.

Is a $50k + boat a "luxury item"?

To most Americans I would say yes.

Keep on truckin' ...this is fun.

[andy7171]

So CID says something about NYT going after Rubio on behalf of Hillary, and it's OK, but when SH says essentially the same thing, it's another sign of stupidity?!?

Um. Rubio has a mid-size fishing vessel. Your guy covered up and harbored a child molester. See the difference?

Clinton Foundation Donation Not Publicly Listed by NYTimes

But similar gifts from other foundations were.

1:01 PM, JUN 10, 2015
BY JERYL BIER

A $100,000 donation given to a New York Times charity campaign in 2008 by Bill and Hillary Clinton's family foundation is not included in a Times list of large gifts from various other foundations, such as George Soros's charitable foundation.
Each year, the newspaper publishes a list of trust and estate gifts of $100,000 or more that are invested in an endowment, the income of which is used to fund the following year's Neediest Cases campaign. When asked about the omission of the Clintons' gift from the 2008-2009 list, New York Times spokesperson Eileen Murphy said that "most likely" the Clintons requested that the money go towards that year's campaign and not the endowment, but there is "no record" of why the funds were used that way.
The Washington Free Beacon first broke news of the Clintons' donation based on the Clinton Family Foundation's 990 filing for 2008, the same year the Times endorsed Hillary Clinton for president. The Times later revealed to Buzzfeed that the July 2008 gift was actually a reissue of a misdirected June 2007 check that never reached the Times.On March 1, 2009, the Times published a list of gifts from "trusts and estates" of $100,000 or greater that the Times said were added to an endowment that benefits the Neediest Cases program. The Clinton Family Foundation gift does not appear on that list. Although the Clinton Family Foundation is a 501(c)(3) private foundation and not a trust or estate, gifts from other similarly IRS-classified foundations, such as the Soros Fund Charitable Foundation, are nevertheless listed.

They do a fine job with Obama, and bill got hammered all the time.

SNL mocks Obama often. As they did with Clinton.

The real story here is that Rubio is more like the average American than any other candidate. He's not wealthy. He struggles and does the best he can for his family.

Well, since this article is an obvious hit piece by the NYT for HIllary, your defense of the article is defacto defense of the hildabeast.
