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.”
Meanwhile Rubio also announced that since his State of the Union response speech he has gained over 13,000 new followers on Twitter.
“I’m going to start drinking water in the middle of all of my speeches!” Rubio exclaimed on Twitter.
TOPICS: Government; Politics
KEYWORDS:
This is how you do it ladies and gentlemen! Take the media's ridicule and make it your trademark. Remember Palin writing "Hi Mom" on her hand?
“Quench your thirst for conservative leadership?” A great slogan.

It is called “Owning it” and it is a good strategy for dealing with the Alinsky mockers.

Rush regularly keboshes the absurd with his own absurdities. Works for him every time.
Good move, Senator, you're right back in their faces!

Palin and Limbaugh both used this technique to disarm detractors. Turn it on its head and make it a trademark.

I agree, and if he becomes famous for something someday this water bottle could be a good investment.

Looks like it's not a bottle of water, as I orginally thought but, actually something useful:

The site is working now, Vendome. Perhaps it is getting unusually high traffic.
To: MinuteGal
Maybe, following Rush’s lead, Sen. Rubio could auction off that water bottle on eBay and donate the proceeds to charity.
