Let's get this Rubio thing out of the way first. The transcript of his rebuttal will be so much more effective than the video.
UPDATE: Read Rubio's rebuttal transcript here before you get to anything that MSNBC has said.
"The Office of Speaker Boehner released a transcript of Marco Rubio's State of the Union speech (as prepared for delivery). Read the full text of the rebuttal below:"....Excerpt here:
....And more government isn’t going to inspire new ideas, new businesses and new private sector jobs. It’s going to create uncertainty.
Because more government breeds complicated rules and laws that a small business can’t afford to follow.
Because more government raises taxes on employers who then pass the costs on to their employees through fewer hours, lower pay and even layoffs....
Rubio's Strong, Accessible Rebuttal "Responding to a presidential State of the Union speech is often a thankless task. Following the president's act, which oozes prestige and historic significance, almost always makes the next guy seem small and trivial by comparison.... Sen. Marco Rubio broke the mold last night. He delivered a substantive, relatable and cheerful response, and did so with a natural and effective ease:" I wish. But Rubio did go straight for Obama and his polemics.
It is doubtful many will remember much of the content of Marco Rubio's Republican response to the State of the Union, but many will recall his untimely thirst. "As was the case with Mitt Romney's "binders full of women comment," the blogosphere was abuzz following the akward incident.
From political aggregator Philip Bump:
"Let's analyze why Rubio's lunge was awkward.
This same writer also said of Obama:
Neal Boortz: Excuse me, but I wasn't paying attention. "Back then we realized what a great potential for American leadership rested in
Marco Rubio. Last night he showed it in his response to The Destroyer. Here’s a link to Rubio’s response. Read it.
"This man – this Marco Rubio – may be America’s best – and last – hope."

- He hasn't finished his sentence. Finish your sentence first!
- Commit to the water. Stop. Drink. When you're done, say excuse me and continue.
- Do not look at the camera while reaching for/replacing the bottle. It makes you look very nervous.
- And absolutely no matter what, do not look at the camera while drinking. Do not do that.
This same writer also said of Obama:
"Of all of his State of the Union addresses, this may be the president’s most informative and instructive, providing a summary of what he has already accomplished, and listing what he needs to do."Politico - which Rush considers an online version of MSNBC - had this on Rubio's drink: "Twitter exploded during Sen. Marco Rubio’s Republican response to the State of the Union, as the Florida senator appeared a little sweaty and dry-mouthed at mid-speech, taking an awkward swig from a bottle of water that had been placed off-camera. Rubio handled the hullabaloo with some humor, later tweeting a picture of the water bottle."
