CNN Wonders If Rubio's Sip Is a "Career-Ender" [Wolf Blizter media bias]
Slate ^ | February 13, 2013 | Josh Voorhees

The above screenshot from CNN actually happened this afternoon.

Wolf Blitzer's tease as CNN was going to commercial: "So can a drink of water make or break a political career? A U.S. senator, possible presidential candidate. Going to find out, whether he likes it or not."

He’s an addict. Can’t even get through a speech without a fix.

Di-Hydrogen Monoxide addiction is rampant, and increasing.

Whole nations have perished jonesing for it.

Remember when Palin was scheduled to give a talk at, I believe, Sacramento State, and it came out that she had little requirements, like a water bottle with a “bendy” straw at the podium? I remember some comments about how picky that was. Now she is looking pretty wise, huh?

It’s a killer. It has to be detoxified with Kool-Aid powder to make it safe for hugemanatee.

Somehow I think SP can’t be Quayled. He went quietly into ignominity.

Don’t see that with her!

Awkward, Maybe he's been watching “The Following” and is putting vodka in his water bottle and needed just a little bit more courage before the speech.

Rubio is a doofus. Obviously not ready for prime time and he is ineligible anyway.

Think of how many clumsy things Obama has done. Also, think of Reagan’s gaffes. It’s how you handle them and what else you do that is memorable in a positive way that matter. The question is what is Rubio going to do next? I heard on the radio today that he poked fun of himself on Twitter or Face book or something, with a picture of an empty water bottle. So he is trying to recover.

Rubio’s real problem is being born to not yet citizens of the USA. As much as I like Rubio for a number of things I will not abandon my belief in the Constitution for Rubio or Obama or anyone else with a parentage problem.

Yep. H2O + Purple Kool-Aid + NaCN + a dose of religion to get it down! Knocks 'em out every time!

My reaction was ... how rude of obama’s staff for not having water by Seantor Rubio’s side, ie table or podium.

As a guest speaker at obama’s whatever - Senator Rubio was not well taken care of.

This is more a reflection on and of obama than anything!!

obama people making fun of Senator Rubio’s need for water is a well placed cover for obama’s lousy speech.

CNN was cheering on the Women and Cop Killer, Dorner.

If Palin and Rubio teamed up CNN would self implode trying to disparage them.

If he wants to recover he should totally ignore it. Make the media look stupid.

I assume that your congressman and Senators (if you voted for them) have been standing up to Obama's birth certificate / parentage problem in public and are trying to get the man impeached as soon as possible.

If not, and you voted for them, they are now the ones responsible for making the parentage problem to be the new precedence.

If the Maim-streamedia can destroy someone based on sipping some water, what’s next? Destroying them for making up some unintelligible word (Macaca) or simply using a word they don’t like (niggardly)?
