Marco Rubio is over in Israel right now meeting with Netanyahu and already a few photos have emerged. Everyone’s favorite is this one where both Rubio and Netanyahu are bumping water bottles in honor of ‘water-gate’:

Here’s another great one:

There are a couple more and you can see them over at Twitchy.

Consider this an open thread.

Wolfy Schmitzer the CNN drivel-cup cleaning boy wanted to know if Rubio's reaching for water was a career ender? What a dipstick. Everybody is doing it now. Its like Tebowing.

The Glazov Gang was doing it too the other day. The left still hasn't figured out yet that its hip to be square. Way to go Bibi. God Bless Israel.

It's pathetic that the MSM didn't have anything else on Rubio other than having a dry throat and needing a drink. Even the Prime Minister of another country finds it ridiculous that they chose something as petty as drinking some water.

I'm a media guy, I have a degree in this kind of stuff. Right now, Rubio is exactly what we need. A conservative 'American Idol' personality with a team that seems to know how to take liberal 'slams' and turn them around to his advantage.

'Politics'? I'm not going to go there at the moment, the Presidential election is a way down the road yet.

I'm not sure what he 'is' but what he 'isn't' is a bland McCain, Romney type. Like it or not, we have to be able to play their game. After the 'water incident' and the way his organization turned it around on them, the left is going to be a little more careful how they attack him. They are not going to be as quick to expose their own situational hypocrisy about a young, charismatic, 'Latino'. Blacks will still vote overwhelmingly (liberal) 'Black', that's institutionalized, though the words of Col. West, Herman Cain and Alfonzo Rachel (among others), are making inroads. The 'Latino' community is a little more diverse.

Mark my words, they don't want him getting any more exposure with the 'American Idol' crowd or the likes of Jay Leno, than they can avoid. ;-)

this photo op and rubio going there has to gain support from usa jews. i really hope it will. rubio can take the lead here, because obama clearly doesn't give a crap about israel. he is a muslim and his heart is with them. i won't ever believe otherwise.. i stand behind israel as do most Christians. we have read the end of the Bible and we know who wins...

Karl Rove-loving Rubio? Photo op.

Since John Kerry is skipping Israel I am glad that Rubio went. The current WH is anti-Israel. I still can't believe the way BHO treated Netanyahu every time he visited.

Israel is probably glad that kerry (lowercase to show my disrespect) didn't come visit them. They have enough enemies to deal with!

When did Rubio become President?

What happened to that other guy. The one who always played golf and spent all our money?

He's still out playing golf and spending our money. ;-) ;-)

Bet the libs are beginning to wish they hadn't made so much about Rubio leaning over to get a drink. ;-) ;-)

That was really cute. More of the same please on every issue the A$$holes try to use against any on our side. Sorry I still consider Republicans on our side only because they're not totally over to the dark side...yet and we even have a few on our side. Name one Democrat on our side or America's side and I'll include them.

While Obama supporters are busy drinking the Kool-Aid, Rubio supporters are busy buying up water bottles at $25 per to show that drinking water is NOT a career-ending move.

How juvenile. Could we get some adults in our government?

I know I'm in the minority here, but I think extending this water-joke makes Rubio look like an ass. I think it makes him look unserious and vain, not clever or cute.

tinlizzieowner

I think the liberal media frenzy over the water incident in the first place, exposed the real asses. ;-)

McCain was 'serious', Romney was 'serious', where did that get us?

Aww come on Neil. He!! he could be a flasher at a football game carrying only a bottle of water and I'd still take him more serious than I would Obama.

Do you really think Rubio had the brass tacks to lean over to Netanyahu and say lets clink our bottles so the photographer can take a photo of us?

Maybe it was the other way around, and Rubio went along with it.

Sometimes, it's ok to have a wee bit of a laugh.

Personally, I think it makes them both look like FRIENDS. Rather than the way the President of our Country has been seen lately with a scorn on his face when seen with Bibi.

I just think it's a nice gester from Netanyahu and that's it. Hardly anything newsworthy as the stupid drinking stories of water wasn't either.

And the Daily Caller has called Rubio the con man he is with his illegal alien amnesty push.

It's a special person who can absolutely FLING POOP in the face of the media (and the left), all the while laughing and coming off smelling like a rose.

I have DEEP issues with Rubio embracing the form of amnesty he and Shmucky are trying to peddle, but if (and, really, WHEN, because he will) he backs off of it, I think he will be a TOUGH candidate to beat - and certainly a charismatic, likable conservative - which, based on the relative intelligence (or lack thereof) of the electorate at large, seems to be mightily important...

It worries me to. I don't think he'll be number one anyway. To young and inexperienced, not even a governor. Heaven help us who's gonna be number one.

He will. It's a matter of time. I'm not a prognosticator, but, it's clear that the Dems and the White House aren't interested in this deal... even when the deal is basically amnesty first, border security second. Rubio will have no choice but to walk away.

Good for Rubio. Whether you like him 100% or not, it's great to see him annoy the left!

Its so strange that this is even talked about. Oh no. Rubio got thirsty in a speech, and he wasn't graceful when drinking water! He is clearly unfit to be an elected official! Its a career ender! What about Obama telling the Russians to wait for his reelection? Thats a non issue? Got it.

NJK

If he was "doing a little blow," on camera, they'd be all for it, right?

Rule of thumb, when you're irritating the left you're doing something right. Israel? I'd say he's running.

Ughh poor liberals they tried to use the watergate thing to Diminish Rubio, and has backfired bigtime, Rubio is more popular today then ever before.

Is the group that is giving an award to Obama part of the Israel government?

Wolfie

You and I may have our issues with Rubio. But what makes this image for me is the fact that he's turned the tables on the Libtard media and late night "comedy" shows and didn't let them get to him for his little episode with a water bottle. I learned years ago that the best way to disarm a libtard troll is to use humor and since they are humorless warts at heart they are clueless when you do so because they have really no way to respond! For that, my hat is off to Rubio.

Why doesn't Dennis Miller start a Fox news late night comedy/talk show to battle Comedy Central and SNL?

Fox News already did try a comedy thing and I guess it didn't do well enough to keep around.
