By now everybody in the entire world knows that Senator Marco Rubio took a very awkward drink of water during the GOP rebuttal of the state of the union address given by President Barack Obama.
If you are like me, you probably laughed out loud at this hysterical moment that was captured forever on television. Indeed, even the senator poked fun at himself, within moments of concluding his speech, he tweeted out this picture of the now infamous bottle of water:
As most Americans have now moved on to more pressing issues like the economy and the budget, the progressive left is stuck on the sip. A local liberal organization known as Florida Watch Action, which is a spinoff of the now defunct ACORN, has spent today furiously photoshopping picures of Marco Rubio sipping water, tweeting out the following:
and lastly,
Obviously, the left is DESPERATE to ridicule Marco Rubio.
He is a very popular, charismatic republican, and more importantly a conservative who is on the 2016 presidential shortlist. Any good community organizer trained in Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals”, knows that ridicule is man’s most potent weapon when trying to neutralize an opponent.
But this time the ridicule is too ridiculous and Rubio-ridiculers at FL Watch Action look like juvenile idiots. As far as photoshopping goes, this stuff is very lame. I guess they didn’t learn that ridicule has to be funny in order to be effective.
This morning, Rubio made the rounds on the news shows and when asked about his sip of water, Rubio laughingly replied that God has a funny way of reminding us we’re human.
I would say that Rubio’s recovery was very Reagan-esque. He is a rockstar, no doubt.
