Marco Rubio's Water-Gate

Florida Senator Marco Rubio is a rising political star. His big moment came this week when he was chosen to give the Republican response to the State of the Union address. Unfortunately, his opportunity to bask in the limelight was ruined by his apparent nervousness and an awkward moment in which he reached off-camera for a water bottle.

All the late-night comics had a field day at Rubio's expense. Stephen Colbert's spoof of Rubio's Water-Gate is hilarious.

yes it is funny

yet if it was Oblama, half would not be LOL. but be cryin leave el-president-eh alone.

OSD,

It's funny no matter WHO it was

What's really funny is Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) flying on donor's planes without reporting it to go to a Caribbean country of brown-skinned poor people to have sex with under-aged prostitutes.

The media and the comedians are having a field day with that.



Oh... wait. They're not.

There might be media bias, but I would like to offer this observation. The Rubio performance is just funny, period. The Menendez allegations are potentially criminal and are being investigated by LE. The media are reporting it, but with caution.

From the article:

A team of FBI agents has been conducting interviews in recent weeks in the Dominican Republic and the United States, looking into allegations that Sen. Robert Menendez (D., N.J.) patronized prostitutes in the Caribbean nation, but has found no evidence to support the claim, according to two people familiar with the investigation.

I guess the obvious question would be, why is the FBI talking to people in the Dominican Republic and not talking to the people who work at FOX News?

Corrupt politicians live on both sides of the aisle....just the reporting of them differs!

"Media bias" is the least of the problems the Republican Party is facing, but if they insist on blaming the media for their predicament instead looking for the root causes, they are welcome to it.

Nothing to do with Rubio's affiliation, it was just a shitty speech.

wasn't it Rush that started this trend? The illegal viagra and oxy along with visits to young boys?

I would agree that Rush is low on the evolutionary "milk of human kindness" ladder, he shares a rung with Chris Matthews and Reverend Al. However, I believe you might be thinking of Teddy Kennedy - may he rest in peace - after he failed his swimming test.

Actually, he passed his swimming test with flying colors - but he failed his driving and life-guarding tests miserably.

I am also curious. Is what this politician did illegal in the Domican Rep? If it is, shouldn't the authorities THERE be investigating and not the FBI?
