Senator Marco Rubio--evil genius?

Florida Senator Marco Rubio drew mass derision and mocking for his speech after the President's State of the Union in which he awkwardly goes off camera for a bottle of water to take a drink.  More people were talking about this moment than anything in President Obama's solid, if unspectacular, speech.  But then Rubio, painted as the doofus of the week, did something out of left field--he made lemonade out of his own "Watergate."

Rubio actually went on to sell bottles of water (see the picture below), going on to raise $100,000 for his PAC.  Pure genius.  Of course, he did have to add a strange defense of his behavior, blaming the whole thing on God and his Fozzie the Bear-like sense of humor.

Still, the bottled water idea is the type of inspired thinking America needs more of in this country--thinking outside the box.  While I support few of Rubio's ideas, this was truly inspired.  Bottled water sales aside, the Republicans may want to think twice before making him the Republican nominee in 2022. 

Infamous Vice President nominee Sarah Palin had to be coached like a Kindergarten student through her debate practice. However, during the debates themselves, despite not having an original thought in her head other than a silly one liner, she handled herself without sweatily gulping a water bottle.  When Palin makes you look like an idiot by comparison, it's time to just stay silent and suck your bottle in private.
