Paul Ryan and Marco Rubio Featured on "Finding Your Roots" Tonight

Hubs wandered in and out of the den practically demanding to know why I am watching one of my favorite programs being desecrated by the likes of Paul Ryan and Marco Rubio. Here is a recap of his comments:

At the end of the show, each participant is given a family history chart going back as far as the ancestry can be traced. Hubs said of Paul Ryan, "I hope his earliest ancestor is listed as Satan." On Marco Rubio, "I just know he's got slave owners in his ancestry." This was confirmed later on in the program. Hubs remarked, "That bastard Rubio would still own slaves if he could."

On the big reveal of Paul Ryan's Jewish ancestry, Hubs smirked and said, "I'm going to make him a yarmulke that says schmuck." along with "Oy vey! What did it have to be Paul Ryan? Why couldn't it be Beto?" and since I'm doing a bit of research into Hubs' family history (Hubs family fled pogroms in Russia) , "If you find out I'm related to Paul Ryan, don't tell me."
