Many on the Left thought they were going to destroy Marco Rubio over his drinking water during his response to Obama’s SOTU speech. Instead Rubio has turned the tables and is milking this incident for all is works. The Senator is now selling a water bottle in return for donations o his political action committee.
Just when you thought the Marco Rubio water bottle craze was over, the Freshman Senator is taking advantageous of the headlines by offering fans his very own branded water bottle – in exchange for a $25 donation to his political action committee.
“Quench your thirst for conservative leadership?” a note from Rubio’s Twitter account read. “Order a bottle now.”
Rubio’s Reclaim America Leadership PAC asks donors to, “send the liberal detractors a message that not only does Marco Rubio inspire you…he hydrates you too.”
Rubio is doing a reverse Alinsky. By mocking himself, he takes the sing out of the Progressive attack.

Excellent!
a nice, solid backhand…
well done Marco
if the voters want cool celebrities, them give them celebrities…just manufacture them…Americans love the newest model
It shows how fuckin scared they are… I smell their fear, And you know what? I don’t care if they Romney him… he ain’t perfect but I would vote for Barney Fief over Obama
the GOP needs it’s own prime time tv show…house band, skit players, a revolving MC of hip young people…make politics fun as well as informative…then shred BO, Reid and the rest….with a smile of course
With all this water bottle frenzy the lefties avoid to discuss how Rubio shredded O.’s State of the Nation Speech into pieces. It’s a smoke grenade.

Rubio screwed them. He didn’t go on TV the next day stuttering about what a big mistake he made -- he knew as well as anyone that it was an awkward moment. The brilliance was in laughing at himself. Laugh at yourself and when people pile on you they look petty.
Madcow, CNN all looked petty. Meanwhile, Rubio has the perfect fundraising gimmick that money couldn’t buy and is seen as a good guy who’s not afraid to laugh at himself.
He gets away with it because he owns the Media.
if this is politics with malice, I’m fine with it…the donks are stupid, soft and wrong…the right cannot talk their way out of demise…gouge somebody’s eye out, before they gouge yours…heh…total war

Yes. Personally, I think we should start hinting at a Rubio/Carson ticket. I get that Dr. Ben has no real-world practical political experience, but when you consider that the current VP has DECADES of being in national politics, what have we got to lose?
I wonder if with Rubio it wasn’t just that the poor guy was bone tired. I imagine he’s used to just getting up and giving his speech from the heart and sitting down and they probably ran the poor guy through his paces all day. Not to mention that he gave a 15 minute address in Spanish right before that. I just think he had a “Duh” moment.
Which shouldn’t be bothering the MSM, since the current Vice President has had “Duh” years.

It will be interesting to watch how the GOP establishment handles the upstart Rubio -- who is not beholden to them.
Nor is Rand Paul.
A Rubio/Paul ticket might be interesting

Don’t think they believe this. If they did, they wouldn’t bother. They’re counting on low information voters believing their characterization of him as Rubio the Rube’.
