HA!
Blip!
Way to go Brooklyn! Congrats!
I looked for you too. 🙂
I am way down. There were already forty posts when I checked in. 🙂
PBO said “Brooklyn in the house!” as he was walking down the aisle after the speech. Must’ve been talking about you, baby!! 😀
I saw that. He was talking about me. He was supposed to say it in the speech but he didn’t have time. You know how it is.
I love Brooklyn! Both my nephew and cousin and their families live there.
Ha, Ha, GB! Well done! 😛
Thanks love!
LOL
WTG, GB and PROUD!
Hey
Chips, I am ROTFLMAO. This water thing is hilarious. I did not watch him. So the savior needed water tonight? 🙂
Yep – buckets of it. Chips – glad you’re enjoying it as much as we are! What a fool he was to think he should be up there taking up space after the President’s address.
(Oh, gag, while I was typing this Chuckie Todd was talking and I couldn’t mute him fast enough. Whew. Done.)
The thirst is real!
I can’t stop laughing anytime i see this. The way he scoped it out was priceless. 😆
I know, right! 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀
I’m going to cry down my leg! 😉
LOL!
Stole that from a FB friend. Just waiting to use it! 🙄
Lying makes your mouth dry. That’s why police and interrogators withhold water. Rubio is soooo NOT READY for anything more than who he is right now.
It’s a wonder he didn’t start pouring it over his head, like he was on the beach or something. Then I would have really laughed!
Now I am crying down my leg! His lips don’t move to the time of video! Hilarious! 🙄
Hold on, carol, hold on! Ha!
To what, to what???
Hahahahahaha!!
The guy was desperate! He definitely needed that gulp of water to be able to lie openly.
STOP!!!!!!
I’m trying to calm down enough to go to sleep and this isn’t helping – bawhhhhhaaaaaaaaahahhhhaahaaha!!!!!! 😆
You guys are too much! Absolutely hilarious! Talk about not ready for Prime Time1
Oh. My. Gosh. Amateur hour.
Did you create that #waterbreak or is it trending already? OMG – too funny!
Amk is good, isn’t he?
I tell you TOD twitters (AMK, Bobfr, UT, Dudette, LL, a4alice, Chipsticks, hopefruit, meta, VC, etc.,) are the best!
Yes, they are. I just sit back and retweet. Just finished retweeting TPM fact-checking on Rubio. I was steaming when he got done and everyone else was in bed, I think. Except 99t.
Found my answer! Even TJ Holmes got it:
LOL
Another good one from Electablog!
https://twitter.com/Dudette9t9/status/301548607662854144
Fixed that! Arrgh, what a buzzkill! 🙂
With his FINE SELF!
🙂
I can’t stop laughing. WHY?! Why would you do that? POTUS talked for an hour and you didn’t see him take swigs of water. I understand being nervous. I would even understand sputtering on a few words but who takes a swig of water while giving a speech on live tv?!
And drinking the water wasn’t the worst part. It was that he had lean over to get it. Then the gulp!
Where is he, in his office?
I have no idea.
President Obama didn’t even take a sip of water in 2004, when he was at the DNC. And that was a long, powerful speech – full of truth.
This Frontline program is about 2010, anyone?
#RubioGulp
LMAO! The Gulp Heard ‘Round the World.
He is such a CLOWN, and they were trying to call him a savior. 🙄 Just the latest in a long line of Barack Obama detractors to self-destruct — this time it was political suicide by water bottle. I’ll never look at Poland Springs the same again. 😆
“The Gulp Heard ‘Round the World” 😉 😆 😉
😆 Donna! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Hey PJ, our guy had it going on tonight!!!
The Big Gulp.
I think I will buy a case of it tomorrow! Just for the laugh factor alone!
Enjoy in good health, lol!
I loved his smile as he waited to speak! Perfectly calm, centered, and happy!
marco go-go saw a mirage in the barren desert that is republican ideology.
Just not ready for PrimeTime!!!
Nobody can outdo my President. I don’t know why these fools even try. They all fall apart under the pressure.
Rubio taking that sip will send him the way of the Jindal….
http://twitpic.com/c38azw
Grrr! I don’t know why this isn’t showing up – It’s Time Magazine’s next cover! Chips, can you help?
HA!
I know, right???
This is hilarious. I almost feel sorry for this loser/liar.
I don’t feel sorry for him at all. These republican liars deserve this. He is not ready for prime time.
COS, I am with you all the way about not feeling sorry for Rubio! He is an adult and he had no business agreeing to lie in order to banish his credentials with GOP right wingers as potential presidential candidate.
I’m don’t feel sorry for the liar. Do anyone remember President Obama first big speech, the 2004 DNC. And he hit a grand slam. That tells you that you either have it or you don’t, and Rubio don’t. It’s like following Michael Jordon on the court when Jordon was in his prime. Only a dam idiot would want to do that.
Sorry for calling Rubio an idiot.
You don’t have to apologize for telling the truth, anniebella. 😉
Anniebella, I am always sharing my grandmother’s wisdom. She always believed that you have to “call a spade a spade.” Any one who agrees to blatantly lie because he aspires to be President is, in my book, “an idiot.”
POTUS will be in my state tomorrow. The big N.C.
… and then mine the next day! Georgia!! Wooot!!
Excuses, excuses. He may laugh at it, but it will be viewed around the world. It is one thing to laugh at one’s self, but not so much when the whole world is laughing at you.
OH, hahahahahahaha!!!!!!
Twitter just won’t let me be!!!!!
😆 😆 😆 Whew!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! I’m crying
Stay thirsty, my friend!
🙂
😆 I literally fell out of my chair at that. The lurch is the part that has been killing me. It’s just too funny. I was like where you going dude when he was doing it. 😆
It’s one thing to take a sip of water. It’s one thing to take it from a branded bottle. But it is a whole OTHER thing to bend down and to the left, almost out of the camera shot, to reach for some Poland Spring. Heelarious!
Well, the Republican’s just handed the President and his Administration a GOOD LAUGH tonight – “just for you Mr. President” (Marco Rubio, sip sip)
ROFLMAO!!!!!!!
See what I miss due to my violent aversion towards anything GOP? The #gulp which launched a thousand tweets.
“The #gulp which launched a thousand tweets.”
Just when I’d *almost* stopped laughing!!!
lmao. Stop it. I haven’t even had breakfast and my belly is aching.
You should so totally tweet it, LL. Or else, I will.
I did the thousand tweets tweet. Look at my new one.
I am laughing so hard … tears in my eyes … somebody make it stop please …. I can’t take it. This is better than Jindal four years ago … I can’t breathe!
OMG! My stomach hurts and my cheeks hurt from laughing so hard!!!!
Brilliant and profound comment, lil’ Chips! Lovely.
Bwahahahahaha!!!! Heeeeeeheeeeeeheeeeee!!!! [snort] Heeeeeeheeeeeheeeeeeeeheeee!!!
🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
That Big Gulp SHOULD be working at 7-11! Every time I watch it, it’s even funnier than the last time I watched…
Me too. I’m having convulsions! I can’t stop laughing!!!!
Me too!
I feel like a freak! Laughing like a maniac!
For the ladies who care about such things….. Mrs. Obama went w/ here favorite designer again http://mrs-o.com/newdata/2013/2/12/state-of-the-union.html
She look lovely regardless who she was wearing. Jason Wu you owe Sasha and Malia some free stock in your company.
President Obama’s exploding fistbump with Mark Kirk (I think its him)
Oh I love it. He is so REAL!!!
My POTUS is cooler than cool.
Love it.
Gasp! AWESOME!!!
Tweeted it!
while the utter failure of marco go-go is hilarious to any thinking person, we must remember that “the news” lied and provided cover for 8 years for a murderous twit who almost died while president from choking on a pretzel, had a male prostitute posing as a “journalist” to ask him talking point-approved “questions,” and lied america into an unpaid-for-3-trillion dollar war killing hundreds of thousands of innocent women and children in iraq. let’s not lose sight of who our enemy is…it’s it the major media outlets of the world. no republican would ever be elected if there was actual journalism presenting facts the to voters….case in point, marco go-go tonight. forward!!
FORWARD!
Absolutely agree. Our media is a complete failure, including MSNBC.
Sabreen, I feel so blessed to be in good company because I’ve been saying for a while now that our so called MSM have been a “complete failure” when it came to disseminating truthful information to the American people.
perfect tweet, ut. Let’s not forget the real evil.
Poland Spring ought to send Marco a case of their water as a “thank you” gift. The gift that just keeps on giving tonight! Does anyone on twitter even remember what Rubio spoke about? He will NEVER live this “waterbreak” down. I can’t read anyone tweets, or I’ll never get to sleep tonight. HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
There are now 15 parody accounts of Rubio’s comedy act.
The Twittahverse! GOTTA LOVE IT!!
CHIPSTICKS!!!!! PRICELESS! 😆
That picture is classic. It’s such a great CAPTION pic for any situation, especially one that makes fun of republicans.
Absolutely, delicious! This is what I love most about this place: your impeccable sense of humor!
Gatorade looked at Marco Rubio and thought to themselves, “that’s our guy!” They are now creating “Thirsty Quench” Gatorade.
THIS right here:
I can’t stop laughing….
Bill Kole @billkole
I don’t often lunge for bottled water, but when I do, it’s Poland Springs. #waterbreak
Expand
me either!
The gulp was bad enough, but the lip-smacking, tongue-cleaving……oh the inhumanity! I don’t want to hear all that.
One of the first things I learned in Speech was to eliminate such mouth noises — they convey anxiety and make the audience uncomfortable. Amateur!
Stop it PJ. The water gulp is already killing me. 🙂
😆
I remember that from Speech, myself! Funny what sticks in your head:) Wonder how many times he said a “place holder? ” Um?
Speech professors everywhere are cringing! 😆
Sure are! A lesson on what NOT to do!
so, i wonder what the “water cooler” talk will be tomorrow at work?!?!
Ok. I need some b’fast before I can laugh. BBL. Today’s day just gone down the shitter.
Maybe Rubio should have come back with alittle Tupac, people might would have forgotten about the water, at least.
Oh well …we will all be laughing all day today/tomorrow together … awesome! This is better than the cocktail I had earlier!!

That one is great. On my way to retweet…
And on a more serious note, here is the most compelling part of tonights address:
President Obama Says Gun Laws Deserve a Vote
This was extraordinary.
{{{Kat}}} how the heck are you!!!
Lord, in tears. Watching real-time I was on my feet clapping and yelling VOTE. Just notice the family members in this video; lady holding a loved one’s photo @ 2:23, just started my waterworks… They deserve a vote!
Thank you so much Donna dem 4 0bama for sharing this moving part of the President’s speech. I have not watched the President’s entire speech because I was at work during the SOTU! But this part you shared brought tears to my eyes. And believe me, I think of myself as being too old to cry. As a parent who lost a child, not to gun violence but to cancer, I think I know a little what it feels for all these parents who have lost their children. I am sure It’s even more devastating because their losses, which were so abrupt, could have been prevented. This country is so blessed to have a caring President with so much compassion. Now is the time for all of us to stand with him and push hard to ensure that Congress enacts meaningful laws that will reduce gun violence and stop the slaughter of innocent people, especially children.
Whenever I go to the store and see Poland Spring I will think of Rubio and laugh.
LOL on the gulp that was heard around the world, Chipsticks, you are so bad for putting a spotlight on this epic fail response by the republican GREAT HOPE for their dying party in 2016. You’re going to make republicans cry again.
The gulp heard round the world.
Bwwwaahahahaaaaa!!!!
Chips, my friend, this picture says it all. I thought I had finished laughing, If you guys don’t stop it, I am going to be laughing in my sleep tonight. I love all of the tweets re the “Big Gulp”. 🙂
Excuse my language, but the fuckhead pot-bellied “president” of the NRA is being interviewed by Jake Tapper, and both will probably need a #waterbreak soon.
Now, now you lady. Calm down. After all they have to give those old white guys a bone. 😀
Yeah, ’cause they’re a dyin’ breed. Ha! (To be clear, I am not addressing this to all the nice white guys I know! Just the fuckheads like David Keene of the NRA!)
So tell us how ya really feel JC?
I did! 🙂
Anything can be turned into a tweet.
“Half-man-half-gun” <—– Brilliant!
The TOD twitter brigade are out in force! Brilliant tweet, JacquelineOboomer!
Oh, no, not a whole $9.00, replied the Republicans, and here it is only 2013 !!! Deficits! Freedom!
Hahahahahaha!
Best tweet. inspired guffaws…
I’m think Bo is saying hay Rubio you should have listen to me when I email you and warn you not to follow my POTUS tonight. Now we will laugh our butt off tonight thinking of you. And when my FLOTUS walk in the door I am going to ask for some water, bottle of Poland Spring water. 🙂
Chips, you are on fire!
tengo sed. republicans sad.
Twitter is killing it with the “Watergate” jokes.
Love the new watergate meme.
Hadiya loved fig newtons and lip gloss. I like fig newtons too. I was thinking of Hadiya today and I was imagining her being greeted up in Heaven by twenty little Angels from Newtown.
Such a sweet thought anniebella! She’s smiling that beautiful smile of hers tonight.
OK back to the Hilarity Wolf Blitzer goes UH OH!! 14 sec mark
CTFU!
GOP Savior ends his career in an untimely way after waterboarding himself in the #SOTU response.
LOL.
I wonder if Time magazine will put him on the next cover gulping that water, saying that the “Savior” failed. 🙂
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! STOP IT!!!!!!
And I heard Wolf say “uh oh” and I started laughing all over again. I’ll never get to sleep tonight if I don’t turn this computer off. You guys have me in stitches 😆
And speaking of cyber-attacks, I was watching on whitehouse.org and when the president started talking about cyber-security, my computer shut off for absolutely no reason! It took me two tries to restart it. I got it back as he was addressing gun control.
rubi-oh, no he didn’t!!!
You guys are making me laugh to much now.
Lol!
🙂
Aaaaaaaaand…..there’s a twitter account.
ROTFLMAO here!
Too funny @MarcosWaterBottle has 375+ followers, but only FOLLOWS one – PBO!! Great
Me thinks we all how Rubio would handle a 3am call. Don’t we? Just keep some water on his night table and he’d be fine. 😆 😆
Stop it Chips. 🙂 🙂 🙂
No promises! Bahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
CHIPSTICKS!!! Please stop!!!!! My sides hurt
Chips, It took me less than a second to break my promise to you. And it’s all you fault. After the SOTU response water gulp, I just couldn’t help it looking at this TIME Cover page without breaking out in uncontrollable laughter.
I’m sorry but this is the winner! Worth 10,000 repeats (and re-tweets)!
😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆
You know what?!?!?! LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!! People are hilarious! 😆 😆 😆
roftlmao. You guyz are going to kill me.
Amk, it has been a long time since I laughed this hard. When I refresh my laptop, I start laughing all over.
Absolutely. The tweet was the bestest of the lot.
OK…now my DOG is wondering what’s wrong with me!
😀 😀 😀
ROFLMAO oh my sides hurt. 😆
You guys need to stop this! Some of us are not so young to be able to sustain uncontrollable laughter. To be honest, Dudette, that tweet is absolutely hilarious.
Crying down your leg? 🙂
stolen from bj
Still ROFL! I can’t breathe!! 😀 😀 😀
Genius!!!
All very good.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!
The #Waterboy ?
Osama weighs in:
Masterful speech by the president. The waterboy failed in his job.
🙂 🙂 🙂
to those who read republican sites….have any of them made jokes about “wetbacks” yet?
good question. I will ask.
#warptergate is my personnel fav. 😈 Thanks for the memories.
Well, #Watergate
Oh, my. Never thought of that!
How in the hell am I supposed to sleep tonight? If I think about this, I start myself up all over again!
And here I am df, still laughing and I should have been in bed a long time ago, but nooooooo, I’m still laughing 😆
Banana Joe wins Westminster—–and without one water break! I like BJ —–:)——but he’s lucky Bo Obama didn’t compete—-who would have won that thing—–easily.
http://abcnews.go.com/US/westminster-kennel-club-dog-show-banana-joe-affenpinscher/story?id=18480264
But a Portuguese Water Dog was in the running! Sporting group, maybe.
There’s that word again Water!
Missus just shushed me! LOLOL
I can’t get enough of these! Thank God Rubio went for the water — and nobody will ever remember even one word he said.
And a comedy star is born…..
He looks so dope, yo!
YOU ARE NOT HELPING 😆 Omg too funny.
Maybe he thought we would not see him if he moved real quick and stealth like.
Looks exactly liked a furtive rat that he is. I was the first one to call it that this will be defining moment. 🙂
Yes, I was watching him muted when I went wtf ?
He looks skurred out of his mind. The water probably passed right through him.
Why is he looking up at the camera? Did he think we wouldn’t see him???!!!@@@!!!!?????
I think he thought he could mesmerize us into not noticing.
Wyeth Ruthven@wyethwire
Time Magazine was wrong. If Rubio were the GOP savior, he would have WALKED on that water
Retweeted by BWD
TOD’ers are freaking hilarious.
drops mic….our work is done here. you win the the ‘tubz!
Oh what an amazing night… first completely inspired with full heart listening to POTUS and then… The Rubio Gulp- and thank goodness for Twitter and the funny smart people who tweet 🙂 Haven’t stopped laughing for an hour.
Sherijr, I came to this place late since I had to work to night. But all the comments, shared tweets, have me in stitches. I don’t remember having laughed so hard in my life. By the way, how did Aqua Budha do in his SOTU response. It appears that gulping Rubio totally overshadowed him.
Nath I’ve heard nary a word about Rand Paul’s ‘speech’.. Marco ‘polo’ Rubio sorta washed out the Aqua Budha’s performance 😉
First thing I thought of upon waking this morning- is that big ‘gulp’… still laughing 🙂
I would like to dedicate a post to what Marco Rubio definitely needs to listen to instead of Tupac. Songs like….
ALL THE HITS PERTAINING TO THE ART OF THE SIPPING POWER!!!!
GENIUS!!!!!!!!
I’ve been waiting for the music.
😯 Frankly, I can’t believe you ALL are laughing with such glee because the poor, nervous GOP saviour was thirsty! Don’t you all get thirsty? That’s so, so lacking in empathy. 😉 😉 😆 😆 😆 [Wonder if the GOP will give up this rebuttal business now? What’s this, 4-0? Each one no better than the last. That’s so embarrassing!]
Wait, did Rand Paul do any better?
Hey, is anyone listening to Rand Paul?? How about Ted Nugent – is he making a big splash somewhere?
Did either of them pull out a bottle of water?
Great minds, vc…;)
We’ll have to pry their bottles from their cold, dead hands. How am I supposed to finish checking my papers after this????
Ha hahahahahaha!
Yes, laugh – but I have papers to check!!!!
BOOM.
This may be Marco Rubio’s Waterloo…….
THIS … is the best one yet. Thanks Ladyhawke!
So here I am – home after a busy day – jump on to hear about the speech and
221 posts talking about the Rubio Gulp – rofl and LMAO – I guess from the CNN poll the President hit it out of the ground – yet again
Any polls on “Big Gulp’s” speech?
What’s the point? Nobody remembers a word he said.:-)
Are you saying that his speech could not be properly polled because every one was fixated on his “Big gulp”?
The #RubioFilms hashtag is hilarious!
Bless that Mother, I can feel her pain.
Say! Rubio! If you’re gonna run with the big dogs you have to know how to hold your warer.
All you tweet wonders – you are amazing – gobrooklyn – this is SO on topic.
Hahahahaha! I love this. Could that be any more spot on?
😆 😆 😆
Good night guys.
Nite ab! 🙂
Hilarious! The gulp in slow mo—–with musical accompaniment!

😆 😆 😆 😆 …..and with that, I’m gonna laugh my ass off to bed….good nite folks!
OMG!!! I’m never gonna make it to the end this thread!!! 😀 😀 😀
LOLOLOLOL! I love you Chips!!!!
We’re evil, Dudette 😆
When we’re bad, we’re GOOOOOOOD! 😀
the classy rethugs
Night everyone…thanks for the great evening of awesome SOTU talk…..and, I can’t say it….but YOU know!!!
Ok, I am NOT tweeting anymore, because otherwise I’ll be on here ALL FREAKING NIGHT.
New post:

THIS IS REALLY GOOD!
WTF was that! Rubio looked worse than Ryan did during his debate with Biden.
Is this the best the GOP has to offer?
