Yes, SNL Did Marco Rubio’s State of the Union Water Break

Feb. 17, 2013 7:33am Madeleine Morgenstern

NBC

Saturday Night Live spoofed Sen. Marco Rubio’s now-infamous water sip during the Republican State of the Union response, with “Rubio” there to explain what happened.

“So what, my mouth got a little dry and I took a drink of water,” said Rubio, played by Taran Killam. “We’ve all been there. You’re about to give an important policy speech. You get a little nervous in the green room and you eat a whole bag of dry-roasted peanuts and some beef jerky. There are hot lights on you. The room isn’t ventilated.

“You’re wearing your lucky burlap unitard under your suit, so, you do what anyone would do: suddenly lunge to the side, all the while holding awkward eye contact with the camera, and then you take a drink from the tiniest bottle of water anyone’s ever seen and then for no reason you set the bottle down even farther away. So what? Let’s talk about policy,” he said.

Of course, when the Florida senator tried a do-over of the speech for the SNL audience, it didn’t go so smoothly either. See the full clip below, via NBC:

In CONTROL, Glenn Beck presents a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t really about controlling guns at all; it’s about controlling us. Find out more HERE.

Who gives a F_ _ K about low-grade entertainment that is
American broadcast television?
Well, yeah, of course the low-grade Morons who voted for the
Emperor of the Planet of the Apes. That goes without saying, eh.

Obama’s new 501(c)3 organization, Organizing for Action, is a partner to his Organizing for America campaign machine. They employ thousands of low-information voters to spread propaganda regarding a variety of subjects. One arm of that organization is specifically tasked with contributing to the conservative blogs in Alinsky fashion, with a single employee using multiple screen names and email addresses. That is what we are seeing here, and consequently, they should just be ignored. People who genuinely disagree with a comment will state their facts and rationale for disagreement. Obama’s Alinskyites will just debase and name-call, as evidenced here. That’s how you can tell the difference. You will find these low-information people all over the conservative web sites.

  L80: Those Trolls are very active here. They change their names periodically and when they get really juvenile angry, they start the ad Trolls. The Alinsky/Obama anarchists are very active here..the anti-capitalism..the atheism..the vitriol we have come to expect from the Obama folks and they international OWS/ anarchy best buddies…

My guess is that Rubio’s speech was a paid advertisement for the water. Another commenter stated Rubio tweeted out a picture of the water. Looks like this was a paid advertising stunt.

  SNL failed to make fun of CLINTON and “What Does It Matter” answer given on the Benghazi deaths of four Americans. I know it would not have been Funny but neither is drinking water.

GE is very afraid.
Haven’t seen left-wing fear of this magnitude since, Reagan.
What’s the Cuban phrase for, “Is that the best you got?”

I don’t watch SNL any more; I did for awhile because it’s such a good study in propaganda, but I got bored with that study quite awhile ago. So I’m curious: did SNL do anything about Obama telling the Russian diplomat that he would have more “flexibility” after the election? Was that admission of a big lie on Obama’s part talked about as much by the liberal press as Rubio’s awkward drink of water?

  Funny thing is that evidently ‘flexibility’ upon re-election didn’t really work out.
  I believe none of John Kerry’s phone calls last week to the Russian president were returned. :)
  In fact I believe a White House spokesperson stated that a text message would be acceptable.
  Ha ha ha ha…..Ha ha ha ha……
  Oh, the hubris.
  :)

Wise Up! Whoever is in the lead for Republican candidate for President is mocked and every opportunity to portray them as stupid is jumped on by every comedian and journalist (Dan Quayle, Bush,Reagan, Palin, etc.) However a Democrat (Obama) saying “I haven’t been to all the states, I think 57, I have one more to go” has 57 “Uh’s” in every speech is still brilliant.

From a memorandum issued by the leadership of the liberal cult:
Long ago general orders were issued to loyal cadres embedded in various information media. As with those given here some are more heavily cloaked than others, but all work together toward the same end, which is absolute power in our hands. Among the most notable are these: Committee for a Bolshevik System (CBS), Alliance to Bastardize the Constitution (ABC), Nefarious Bringers of Corruption (NBC), Council of Nonsense for the Naive (CNN), and Media System for Nitwits to Betray the Country (MSNBC).

OMG. Rubio took a drink of water! How Horrible! How career stopping!
However, Obama:
Runs the debt past $16 trillion
Lets the New Black Panthers off for voter intimidation of black conservatives & whites
Sold weapons to Mexican drug dealers which resulted in hundreds of deaths
Raised taxes on all of us
Jammed the $2 trillion Obamacare down our throats
Oversaw the downgrading of our credit rating – twice
Lies continuously, even about something as benign as skeet shooting
Refused to send help to 4 Americans in Benghazi which were then murdered
and on and on.
But, what Obama does is no big deal to the lefty media and Hollywood Hypocrites

SNL has sucked for a loonnnngggg time. The only people to which they are funny, are the staff themselves and the other childish left-wingers to which they pander to.

Where’s the SNL skit with flies all over Obama’s face? Or riding his bike with the kid’s bike helmet? Or setting up teleprompters in a kindergarten room? There is plenty to mock, but they won’t touch it because their show is used to push an agenda.

You have to be a humorless brain dead moron to watch and actually enjoy SNL.

Gone are the days of Eddie Murphy and John Belushi.

Liberals have had their funny bone removed so they can focus better on being idiots.

Even though this skit really was nothing but propaganda, and so is all the rest of the talk about Rubio’s drink of water, it was an awkward move on his part, and it did give America’s internal enemy ammunition to use against him. It shows that Rubio is not ready for the position he’s being prepared for. Maybe in several years he will be, or maybe he never will.

We are told that the Republicans have to nominate a Hispanic to get the Hispanic vote. But Sarah Palin didn’t get the women’s vote for McCain. And Rubio won’t get the Hispanic vote either.

The Republicans should do what MLK said he dreamed of: judge candidates by the content of their character instead of the color of their skin.

  Agree. They don’t want to lose the Hispanic vote so they have the Media Assassination Squad, like the Trolls here, start their ” Ready – Aim – Fire ” routine. Early and often. 2016 in their sights !

I’m to the point were I think that anything or anyone involved in our government deserves mockery and derision. Anyone that thinks other wise is probably receiving a government check delivered to their door or has a relative that makes their lively hood off the backs of the taxpayer.

Good job SNL!
