Not welcome back to Hannity now have to be held -- Republican savior by time magazine the rising star of the GOP and a possible presidential candidate in 2016.

It's no wonder Democrats are still.

To target Florida senator Marco Rubio now it all started during the senator's response to the president's State of the Union Address on Tuesday.

When rubio won't wait -- -- he dared to take a single simple water.

But because there was no substantive issues to criticize.

While the liberal the left the media they went viral -- rubio is -- drinking problem is one liberal news source called that is now being called Watergate.

Even a possible career -- by Wolf Blitzer over at CNN pretty funny.

Now I can't imagine that rubio is the only lawmaker to ever take a sip of water during a speech in fact he's not -- over the course of the segment.

-- there on the screen we plan highlights some well democratic drinking habits some problems.

Joining me now -- reaction syndicated columnist author.

Pat Buchanan -- pat.

There you -- John I'm glad to get -- sprinkle water problem.

I.

Look at it says -- you know what I thought there rubio get the best single best.

Responsive state of the union that I'd seen a really terrific speech handled it well and it's a difficult it's a different audience coming out of the the state in the union.

And they can't criticize the substance of the go after it tickets -- the water.

-- -- -- -- Well I think Wolf Blitzer ought to be looked into his own longevity over -- CNN what -- Jeff -- -- in there Sean if they give might be right back.

That might be called crossfire any day now.

I thought thought.

But job but look Marco Rubio did a fine little speech and this thing has gone viral liberals -- up I looked it up tonight it's about one point three million.

Result everybody's talking about it -- doesn't compare if they're talking about any kind of problem.

-- -- Bill Clinton when he's introduced.

Michael Dukakis for about 45 minutes and Barack Obama.

Has had his own problems of first debating got wiped out but this is a little glitch.

In the first outing of a candidate who's not going to be run anything goes round and for about three years it doesn't mean -- -- -- -- -- will be done with.

In a week and all these folks should tell us stop talking about it.

You know -- Bob -- -- watching -- we have on the other side of the screen pat I don't think you see it probably mom always Democrats are all taken sips of water.

Problem you know if the media paid it.

As much attention.

To the -- sport a Bill Ayers and Bernadine Doran.

I would say all right it's fair game but they didn't do that but let's for example to show a few of Barack Obama is well.

-- gaffes that he made over the years.

Over the last fifteen months we've traveled.

To every corner of the United States I've now been in fifty.

Seven states I think one left to go.

Lot of I don't know what determines an Austrian Wheeling and dealing.

On this Memorial Day.

Because our nation honors it's unbroken line of fallen heroes -- see many of the men in the audience here today.

Representative of the extraordinary work that our men and women in uniform do.

All around the world.

-- -- -- -- -- -- Corps members are the men and women.

If you saved in one speech sportsman.

It tells me don't know what a navy corpsman is that's a lot worse -- mountain that's.

At the -- outlook are a house.

That's 57 states he reminded me -- but look friend you're.

Mean is this a more serious problem for -- candidate Marco Rubio.

Then candidate Barack Obama having to explain why he -- there for twenty years.

Listening to the lovely sermons of reverend Jeremiah Wright in Chicago.

This is say nothing gets a little glitch and they're probably won't -- what you're doing John is this.

They did succeed last summer.

And -- in defining Mitt Romney before he could define himself.

And I think the very fact you're sort of piling on and trying to bring this up and put it in the public.

It's just sort of define Marco Rubio as a young -- callow nerve issue unmanned.

Before Marco Rubio can define himself they know what they're gone they've got to major media behind them and they've already started know what it tells you they think.

Marco Rubio is a problem.

There was only -- your exactly right there's only one Democrat that got it I didn't believe it or not it was Van Jones.

And did he recognize that rubio is now going to be a rising -- -- a threat.

Let me show you how bad it got -- -- -- good friend reverend Al over their own -- NBC.

Pat.

Reverend Al does but what looks to me like a Saturday Night Live skit.

I mean this is how obsessed NBC news has has gotten what this poll taken a simple water back.

The Republicans say they are mom grew -- -- -- And what -- -- didn't clothes.

OK okay what was it.

Senator grew real.

Laid out the right -- -- -- America.

-- I'll what was -- saying -- real ring of -- the last night.

I'm hydrated just like the senate but what rubio was saying he saw an -- use water -- moment wasn't so funny.

That's coming up right after I finish.

My -- crude and.

Lot of water but -- -- all these Democrats pat they all during a water.

Yeah I need you give speeches I drank water drenched -- Sure -- -- you're always show you just tell the folks look at the bubble of water right there beside the podium on the podium abortion here -- you're always worried.

I don't wondered because I do a lot of gestures and knock it off Sakhalin exhibit a game as safe here -- the same problem.

-- thought -- -- him wave and you know this but I love it all right look it does show that their pilot -- guys and they're very concerned about the -- and but this is gonna continue but is not a bad thing found to have Marco -- -- hit behind the line of scrimmage here on the first time out.

He knows what's -- you know here's a young guy that's a real asset and attraction and I will do just fine this thing will be over a week well a lot of that in the democratic narrative talk.

Points that they use every candidate can't say stretch they can't -- privilege they can't say Republicans say minorities say you know there's a lot of layered narrative -- -- to.

Playbook that they -- -- -- locker room we also got that obviously that -- have some.

Problems down the road.

I think we got about ten Marco Rubio as one might think you got some good guys.

In the Republican primary care -- the governor could well become more than 201426.

-- all right Patrick.

And -- get -- some polls breaks.

Up.
