After the shootings at the Annapolis Capital Gazette, a reporter said, “Thanks for your prayers, but I couldn\u2019t give a f%$# about them if there\u2019s nothing else.”<\/div>\n

Marco Rubio, promptly sank to his fainting couch<\/a>, to the wide spread condemnation of all good people: <\/p>\n

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) responded to the massacre of five journalists at an Annapolis newspaper by whining about civility — and he was quickly drowned in profanity.<\/p>\n

A 38-year-old Maryland man opened fire<\/a> inside the Capital-Gazette newsroom Thursday as part of a longstanding grudge against the newspaper, and one survivor uttered an uncensored profanity afterward on live television.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know what I want right now but I\u2019m going to need more than a couple days of news coverage and thoughts and prayers,” reporter Selene San Felice told CNN<\/a>. “Thanks for your prayers, but I couldn\u2019t give a f*ck about them if there\u2019s nothing else.”<\/p>\n

Rubio was apparently more upset by the reporter’s obscenity than the murders of five of her colleagues.<\/p>\n

“Sign of our times… the F word is now routinely used in news stories, tweets etc It\u2019s not even F*** anymore,” Rubio tweeted. “Who made that decision???”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Needless to say, I am not alone in calling him a complete candy-ass over this.<\/p>\n

This the only Tweet I’ve found that doesn’t drop an F-bomb is this one:<\/p>\n

\n
Five journalists died yesterday and that\u2019s your takeaway? For the love of heaven, try to understand that word didn\u2019t kill anyone. Bullets fired from a gun did.<\/div>\n
