"Does anybody have a dictionary?"
A friend, on her blog, pointed out that Marco Rubio doesn't know the difference between less and fewer. I would suggest that he's ignorant in many areas of the English language. In a recent 60-second Rubio promotion, the bubble-headed senator in glorifying his father, said, "So my father stood behind a small portable bar in the back of a room for all those years, so that I could stand behind this podium in front of this room and this nation. That journey from behind that bar to behind this podium, that's the essence of the American dream." Sorry, Marco, you cannot stand behind a podium. You stand on a podium and behind a lectern. True, using the word podium instead of the correct word lectern is a common mistake and since you are so common, I'm not surprised.
