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.

But Rubio showed he had a sense of humor about it, quickly tweeting his take.
