Rubio & the Water Bottle
With the power of social media and technology these days there is little room for political mistakes. Gaffe’s are exposed and exploited.
Enter Marco Rubio. Last night Senator Rubio delivered the GOP response to the President’s SOTU address. During the response he (awkwardly) reached for a bottle of water and all heck broke lose on social media. You would’ve thought he had set himself on fire.
Within minutes Marco Rubio’s water bottle had generated 15 parody Twitter accounts. That’s right, 15.
You have to wonder why the water bottle was that far away from him. He couldn’t wait 5 minutes for a drink? He lives in Florida for goodness’ sakes, isn’t he used to dry mouth? Regardless, it’s another reminder that there is little room for even silly mistakes in the political arena and that’s a shame.

I can post at least 3 TV appearances where Obama stopped to slurp from a water bottle and it never made “news”…good grief!!! The 2 reasons this did: 1. Rubio is a Republican and 2. The idiot who placed his water bottle, put it out of his reach! Neither of which is newsworthy!! Grow up news media, there’s a big world of corruption and mess going on under your noses that NEEDS to be addressed!!
