Mario Diaz-Balart's English is substantially-better than most of the Tea Party conservatives I've met...and all the Tea Party conservatives I've met in Florida.

Diaz-Balart hears the insult, ponders for a moment, tells the crowd: "you know something? Up until a minute ago , I was a Republican. I finally realize that I'm in the wrong party. I'll make the proper adjustment on Monday."
