Marco Rubio's Rick Perry moment.

By Jack Brummet, GOP/Tea Party Ed.

Rubio had his long overdue Rick Perry moment tonight when Christie had him on the ropes and he repeated the same thing--nearly verbatim--four times.  His aides made him memorize six short index cards, and when the time came he could only remember the Obama one. 

He'll drop in the polls overnight and the contributors will stop answering the phones as of now.

Kasich just launched the first attack on someone on stage.  He attacked Trump over mass deportations. Now Bush, Trump jump in/start slugging away.

Marco Rubio's drinking problem

By Pablo Fanque, National Affairs Editor

During Marco Rubio’s official GOP-Tea Party response to the President’s State of the Union address last night, it was clear he was struggling with cotton mouth, and at one point, wiped a drop of sweat away.  So, yeah, he took a drink of water.  Now, a day later, there are hundreds or articles, blog posts, talk show rants, tweets, memes and of course, a now-famous animated GIF of him drinking the water. 

"His words may or may not be long remembered, but 
Senator Marco Rubio's swig lives on and on and on."  (Reuters)

Interestingly, FDR drank water during one of his speeches, and was roundly praised for it.  As David Michael Ryfe wrote in "Franklin Roosevelt and The Fireside Chats,":  "He often employed such personal touches as stopping to take a drink of water during the broadcasts."
