The "Water-Boarding" of Marco Rubio

It was torture. Marco Rubio got his big chance. He was standing under the hot lights and the sweat started trickling down each side of his forehead. It was like a feather under the nose. He could not help but scratch.

Then his mouth got dry. Really, really dry. Dry to the point of panic. But he was on live TV. What could he do??

So he broke. He reached for the water bottle. But it was in the most unusual way.

He did not simply pick up the bottle and take a swig, with a small pause.

He looked like someone attempting to steal something? He kept looking at the camera as if no one would notice if he did it quickly. There was a stealthy, dishonest appearance to taking a simple drink of water. Seldom does body language yell out but, in this case, it did.

But, like all politicians, once your cover has been blown, it is best to try and create humor from the incident. Rubio is no exception. He is now selling the Rubio "Water Bottles" for only $25 dollars each. Step right up, folks!
