Is this guy "slow"?:confused:


Florida senator and former Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio presented an odd choice for a statute Wednesday that he said should replace the one of a Confederate General.

Rubio suggested that a statue of Tim Tebow should replace the statue of Gen. Edmund Kirby Smith in the U.S. Capitol’s National Statuary Hall, the Orlando Sentinel reported.

States are allowed to have two statues in place of honor. The only caveat is that the memorialized individual has to be dead for at least 10 years as of Jan. 1, 2017.
