Look, ya gotta hand it to Marco Rubio. The young, conservative senator from Florida choked — literally and figuratively — while on national live television during the Republican response to the State of the Union address.
The senator appeared sweaty and flustered before reaching for a bottle of water placed too far away. Rubio then took a swig from the bottle of Poland Spring and the moment became an instant Twitter hit and the impetus for some good memes — heck, even the Poland Spring company got into the act by posting this on their Facebook Page:
So what’s a senator to do in this situation? The obvious answer is to turn lemons into…money for his PAC!
This morning, we saw this message on our Twitter Feed:
It’s real! Click on the link and you’ll be taken to the Reclaim America PAC website, a Political Action Committee formed to “elect conservatives to the United States Senate.”
The website states that for a minimum $25 donation ($5,000 max), you too can “send the liberal detractors a message that not only does Marco Rubio inspire you … he hydrates you too.”
That’s one way to tell the world you’re thirsty for politics.
