Marco Rubio: Hip to Be Square

This is painfully embarrassing. Not embarrassing enough that I won't post it. Sen. Marco Rubio was in an Osmonds singing group.

5. He loved the Osmonds ... "The absolute scariest aspect of Marco Rubio's biography," says Peter Schorsch at SaintPetersBlog, "is his fondness for [the] Osmonds." It came with the territory when the family lived in Nevada. The Osmonds were the most visible Mormons in the country at the time, and Rubio and his cousins were wild about them. In elementary school, Marco formed a tribute singing group with his sister and cousin to entertain relatives. "It was just the same Osmonds song at every family function," Michelle Denis said.
