Marco Rubio Selling Water Bottles... For Real!

Eonline.com

Look, ya gotta hand it to Marco Rubio. The young, conservative senator from Florida choked -- literally and figuratively -- while on national live television during the Republican response to the State of the Union address.

The senator appeared sweaty and flustered before reaching for a bottle of water placed too far away. Rubio then took a swig from the bottle of Poland Spring and the moment became an instant Twitter hit and the impetus for some good memes -- heck, even the Poland Spring company got into the act by posting this on their Facebook Page:

Rubio's Poland Springs bottle reflects on its cameo performance.

So what's a senator to do in this situation?  The obvious answer is to turn lemons into...money for his PAC!

This morning, we saw this message on our Twitter Feed:

The website states that for a minimum $25 donation ($5,000 max), you too can "send the liberal detractors a message that not only does Marco Rubio inspire you ... he hydrates you too."

That's one way to tell the world you're thirsty for politics.

In case you missed the gulp heard 'round the world, here it is:
