Rubio Gets the Last Sip

In his GOP response to the State of the Union, Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida showed signs of nerves, pausing at one point to awkwardly take a sip of water from a glass.

    You've heard of arch-conservatives? Rubio is a parched-conservative.

    Marco Rubio thirsts for change. Marco Rubio dryly noted the defects in Obama's speech. Rubio: Obama's speech was all wet. Care for more?

    Paul Ryan clearly established a trend to prove Republicans do love clean water. And LOTS of it.

    Marco Rubio made a huge gaffe by drinking water, indicating he is a carbon-based human life form requiring H2O for sustenance.

    As I said, Rubio is a uniquely natural politician. Would Jindal have reached for that water?

    Rubio's got a ready-made joke now for every speech until he builds his presidential library.
