to reach that far for water on live television.

And he was continuously licking his lips. Not ready for prime time.

Can't Wait to see what SNL does with this after what they did to Ryan.

On Edit: I can imagine all sorts of possibilities - diving boards, pole vaults, long jumps, there is just too much material there.

#awkward and #watergate. #watergate was trending.

Apparently it ain't so easy, eh?

His Parch on Washington?

during the most important speech of his career.

He defined himself last night (and not so well) or as grits said he 'Jindaled' himself.

He must have thought he was at a fraternity chug-a-lug contest.

of any stripe. Obama is a great public speaker and great on the national stage, Rubio does not have that gift or the experience. What of it.

It just looks funny.

I do think, however, that a rejection of Rubio should be anchored in his bad ideas for the country and not his unfortunate stage presentation last night. I care much more about his policies than his parched throat.

That being said, I do know how he feels. The first time I had to speak in front of hundreds of people as an adult, I completely choked and it was beyond embarrassing. That night was not the most depressing of my life, but it was certainly up there. As lame as Rubio is, I'm willing to cut him some slack on the water thing. But on the actual contents of the speech itself? Not so much.

who isn't worthy of my compassion. I'm more than happy to see him embarrass himself publicly.

the water was like the crescendo to a movement of fail. He was awkward throughout the entire rebuttal. He was sweating (flop sweat), constantly touching his face, licking his lips. And then when he finally "lurched" for the water, it was like the train hitting the car.

What is that term, cringeworthy? I do hate seeing that though, probably a sympathetic response because I suffer from anxiety.

in his speech were ten times worse.
He lied about the healthcare law
He lied about the deficit, saying Obama increase it more than Bush

reminded me of the slurpy sloppy kissing in that super bowl commercial that grossed everyone out.
