<> On Wednesday's The Situation Room, host Wolf Blitzer absurdly wondered if Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) pausing his State of the Union response for a drink of water would "break" his career. The CNN chyron flashed "Career-ender?"

"So can a drink of water make or break a political career?" Blitzer asked. "A U.S. Senator, possible presidential candidate. We're going to find out, whether he likes it or not." [Video below the break. Audio here.]

Thanks chessplayer.

Right now, Senator Robert Menendez from NJ is being investigated for having sex with underage girls and prostitutes. Lucky, for him, he hasn’t taken an awkward sip of water or else the media would be forced to pay attention.

We know how this works. It’s so dysfunctional that if it were a family the kids would have run away a long time ago.

It is not going to change, se either we change or they keep winning.

OB didn’t know how many states there are. What fifth grader gets away with that.

It is not going to change. they are enjoying this.

Why are we talking about Rubio drinking water? How can we afford doofus moments? The answer to that question is everything, bacause we are going to have these doofus moments. And this was one.

They are never going to play fair. They vote to get stuff for themselves and it’s working. When it doesn’t work any more they’ll blame us.

That’s the way this works.

This isn’t going to end anytime soon, if ever. msnbc is now showing non-stop replays of Rubio sipping water. And now a lefty on foxnews is complaining about HOW MUCH water he drank.

It will certainly be the left's propaganda wing-the media-making it into that, and that right there should show us that the "dinosaur media"is not only not on its last gasp, but alive and quite well. Of all the things which have happened in recent years which could have more credence to be called a gaffe or a scandal, this is what they choose? As a previous poster said-Benghazi, Menendez ad prostitutes, Geithner and his tax evasion, Barney Frank having a sodomite prostitute business run from his house, Hussein's "57 states", Hussein and "my Muslim faith", etc-but this is a big deal?

Media agitprop at work.

I think that most people were like me, having watched him do it without it even registering as an event.

The only fools that will see it as a “career ending mistake” are the standard 18% that wait with ‘baited breath for Obama’s rerdistribution to save them.

He drank water? On the air? The noive ...
