GREENVILLE, S.C.-- Marco Rubio's last-minute cancellation at a conservative confab Thursday night instantly became fodder for rival candidate Ted Cruz, as organizers called it "pretty damn rude."

I studied Spanish a few years back and the teacher was the daughter of a couple who came from Cuba. She told the class once that she went to a wedding that was supposed to start at 4PM and there was no one there in the chapel at 4 (but they eventually had the ceremony at about 6PM). That's when I learned about Cuban Time.

"If he wanted to introduce Trey Gowdy and Tim Scott to speak that's perfectly fine, but that's not the way it was set up," said Mark Levin, the editor-in-chief of Conservative Review and a conservative radio host, who called it "pretty damn rude" of Rubio to miss the event.

LOL! Cuban time sounds a lot like Polish time. Add an hour or two to the stated time to get the actual.

The event was held by Conservative Review, Mark Levin’s Twister site.

I’m amazed Rubio was stupid enough to accept an invitation there!
