The water bottle

[daddyo]

Can someone explain to me what the fuss is over Marco Rubio taking a sip of water during his rebuttal to the SOTU speech?

They have to have something to complain about to distract from what was said. My opinion at least. When you don't have a rebuttal make fun of the person.

No one mentions the fact that he gave the speech in both English and
Spanish.  I guarantee you his mouth was dry. I talk for a living and go
through an average of 4 20oz bottles of water in a 7 hour shift. The guy
took a sip of water. Cripe, it isn't like he dipped his hand into a
font of holy water, slurped up a gulp of water then dried his hand on
his tie.

They just want to make a huge deal out of nothing.

 

Out of curiosity what do you do to speak that long?

This and the fact that they are scared to death of Rubio, since he is so fluent, and that it must have been a slow news day.

You know, like gun toting liberal anti-gunners on the loose kinda being hard to figure out how to spin into something that

will help their agenda. Mucho head scratching on that on their little minded talking points list.

Meh, they want to make a big deal about Rubio's water, I got two words for em "Ted Kennedy".

Rubio must be destroyed, a la Sarah Palin and Herman Cain, but the water is the only thing they have so far.

 

So the water it is.

 

Look up the Communist Van Jones' comments on Rubio for further evidence.

Like Rush said today, they (media & the left) will attack him like Palin. Like Palin, they are scared of him.
