A little perspective on Rubio's sip of water "You want a cringe-inducing gaffe involving a sip? How about this incident of Obama's, now consigned to the memory hole?
Rubio water-swig replay tally: MSNBC 155, CNN 34, Fox News 12 [VIDEO]

What’s Gotten Into the Water at CNN? "CNN’s anti-Rubio, anti-dihydrogen monoxide-themed Chyron is proof that “at long last, American media reaches peak moron.

Lets see; Bill Clinton was accused of rape, he used the president's office for, um, hanky-panky - once while on the phone. No. Not a career-ender. Nothing with the magnitude of taking a drink of water during a speech. But the one thing making it be a career-ender over Clinton's antics: the help of the press informing the voters who elected Obama. As with Clinton and Obama, these "journalists" have no shame, no capacity for embarrassment.
Big Journalism has this same take: "In the view of the mainstream media, leaving a drowned woman in your car at the bottom of a river shouldn’t end your career (Teddy Kennedy); ejaculating on an intern in the Oval Office shouldn’t end your career (Bill Clinton); allowing a male prostitution ring to run from your apartment shouldn’t end your career (Barney Frank); leaving Americans without security in Benghazi and quietly going to sleep as 4 Americans die there isn’t a career ender.
"Sipping water – now that’s the end of the world. After all, when all Democrats walk on water, sipping it just seems sacrilegious."

George Stephanopoulos Touts Obama's 'Dramatic,' 'Emotional' Speech, Chided Rubio's 'Hard-Edged' Response "George Stephanopoulos on Wednesday's Good Morning America delighted over Barack Obama's "dramatic," "emotional" and "ambitious" speech. During live coverage of last night's Republican response, however, the former top Clinton aide lectured viewers that Marco Rubio's speech was "hard-edged." " Primitive, according to MSNBC
WashPost Hires "Democratic Flack" Who Trashed Ann Romney As Having 'Never Worked a Day in Her Life' "Imagine the firestorm of outrage that would be ignited in the liberal media were a conservative paper like the Wall Street Journal to hire a Republican pundit who insulted First Lady Michelle Obama during last year's campaign, even if said pundit subsequently apologized. Now compare that to the silence that most certainly will greet the Washington Post hiring Hilary Rosen as an opinion contributor."
