CNN Absurdly Asks If Rubio’s Sip of Water Was ‘Career-Ender’

Mind you, this is the network with the chick who was wondering on the air if asteroids were caused by climate change. Did that end her career? Because things like “having a dry throat” or “being an organic life form that requires water to live” don’t seem to me to be career-ending gaffes. But wondering whether asteroids are caused by climate change while being in charge of delivering accurate information to a huge media audience of grownups does seem to me to be a career-ending sort of gaffe.
