I slowly fell apart at the end of a speech in front of about 1000 people. I got dry, I rushed my words, and found myself sweating like crazy. See below...

In all honesty I was laughing too hard and missed the second half of his speech.

Have you ever failed on such an embarrassing level that you were mortified? I knew exactly what he was feeling as soon as the flop sweat started. I lost it. It was like watching someone stop a large group of people to tell an absolute bomb of a joke. Cringe worthy.

I could not stop. As soon as I saw him wipe his forehead, it was over for me. I stopped listening and was waiting for him to fall apart.

Watch his speech again and take note and you'll laugh you ass off.

First take note of the color of his lips. They will go pale by the end.

At first his teeth dry out. You'll see him lick his lips.
Then the forehead sweat starts and you'll catch him wipe a bit away.
Then his mouth will dry out. His upper lip starts to stick to his teeth.
Then he picks up his pace. This is the dead give away that he wants this to end.
Then his upper lip starts to stick to his teeth. A lot of mouth exercises start.
It is at this point I'm assuming his bowels started to turn to water.
Then he finally had to get a drink. Poland Spring (if I'm not mistaken)
His pace at the end was much faster than when he started.

I've seen it twice now and I still can't tell you what he said. I'm absolutely crying in laughter. I do feel so bad for him.

about you. Think about how the people listening to you feel. Care about your audience more than yourself. Don't worry about yourself at all.

I was terribly shy and had to perform in front of people. I did it all wrong until I learned to take a deep breathe and think about the people on whose behalf I was speaking. When you forget yourself and don't let your ego take over, you will be just fine.

You probably have a lot to offer people, so just try again and again.

How 'bout that federally backed mortgage loan you defaulted on?
How 'bout the GOP credit card you misused?

Here's a treasure trove of malfeasance laid bare...

Rubio is a liar, and the entire time he pleads for small government, his government credit card bill comes to mind. We need to stop being appalled and surprised at what the republicans trot out.
