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."

I remember the outrage at Clinton’s drinking Diet Coke when he was deposed (on camera).

I'm glass we have an objective media to tell us when a career-ending mistake is made - by a Republican.

Rubio’s downfall will be Rubio-Obama Amnesty...not bottled water...or the Kool-Aid his supporters keep drinking.

CNN Wonders If Rubio's Sip Is a "Career-Ender"

Let's see.... A Republican senator grabs a quick sip of water mid speech and endangers his career. On the other hand, a Democrat senator boinks underaged prostitutes and his career is....enhanced?

The Left is going to demonize anyone that even remotely resembles a Republican that might run against 0bozo while he lays plans to amend the 22xnd Amendment so that there is an AntiChrist exception.

If you’re gonna end your career during an Obama speech, I say do it in style - he should have whipped it out and p*ssed on the floor.

You know we live during end times when we’re relieved that it’s underage female prostitutes and not underage male prostitutes.../s

Gee whiz, I don’t know what’s more scandalous than taking a sip of water during a speech. Rubio might as well have rolled up his sleeve and mainlined heroin. Well it’s a certainty that taking a drink of the thoroughly evil (and soon-to-be-banned H2O by Mayor Boombird) will destroy Rubio’s career. (snicker)

"enhanced"

You got it. Although enhanced might not be the word Dems want to use in this situation. (Or maybe it is the word they want to use.) If there's one thing many Dems love it's a politician who is as morally vacuous as they are.

I think he did a great job with the speech. I just wish he was eligible to run for President. Perhaps Senate Majority Leader someday is more appropriate.

So Clinton gets a knobber in the Oval Office, is Impeached for lying under oath, disbarred for perjury and his career is fine.

Rubio gets dry mouth and his career is over.

Ok sounds reasonable.

I figured Wolf and Hillary’s look-alike contest would be a career ender for one the two.

Rubio’s political career on the national stage is over, not because of a sip of water during a televised speech, but because after only two years in the U.S. Senate, Karl Rove and the inside-the-beltway Republican elites have turned Rubio into the next Bob McRomney.

Rubio took a big hit from the MSM, who has nothing to say about Sen. Menendez, a child sex abuser from Jersey.

So childish, so puerile!

The left has condemned any conversation to the level of five year olds.
