I haven’t said anything about Rand “rEVOLution v2.1″ Paul because I have learned that you don’t start oooohing and ahhhhing a slow motion multi-car pileup until the last car has burst into flames, inky black clouds of toxic smoke filling the sky, the smell of burning flesh, the screams of the victims, the hush of the crowd… but enough about NASCAR, here is what we have learned this week about Rand Paul.
He may may (or may not) be a racist. Lesbians can totally throw him using their wicked lez fu. He just won a Senate primary and no one is making sweet love to him on satin sheets strewn with rose petals. And he defends British Petroleum in public where people can see his lips moving and hear his voice, while explaining that, you know, shit happens.
Now Paul is pulling out of his Meet the Press appearance this week because he is afraid David Gregory will get him to say that child-proof caps are socialist or that Goldman Sachs is over-regulated. This is because Rand Paul has libertarian Tourettes.
Personally I kind of hope that Rand Paul wins in the general since that means that Republicans will be trading one asshole only to have another one even assholier hung around their necks.
This is potentially good news for John McCain etc etc.

State’s Rightist, Corporatist, Dominionist, Oh my!
More like rESOLution amirite ha hahahahahhahahahahhahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhaahhahahahahaha
Leave Rand alone. He never expected people to actually listen to him. And British Petroleum is a fine ‘Murican company that takes oil from our waters and sells it to China.
I fear this entire situation is Nancy Pelosi’s fault.
He reminds me of that kid in Red Dawn. You know, the whiny coward Wolverine they shot?
Also, WOLVERINES!!!11!! Too.
I think what happened to Paul the Younger is that he was cosseted among people who had the same worldview for a long time. Now, out in the sun, he is shocked, shocked I tell you to find out that most people do not think it’s ebbil gubmint to have child labor laws and whatnot. I just find it incredibly amusing that someone who doesn’t believe the federal government should be doing anything wants to be part of, well, the federal government.
Is there a creature on Earth that whines and complains more than a Liberpublican? Amazing how thin-skinned these wittle babies are at the smallest bit of challenge. I thought Maddow was way to easy on the Rand Bawl, yet here they are instantly playing the martyr card.
Imagine if they had to actually answer tough questions from real journalists on a regular basis. The Repub Party would become extinct since nearly all their arguments collapse under the most basic scrutiny.
Randy boy has the potential to be as much fun as Orly Taitz.
I have wondered about that, too, ever since St. Ronnie regaled us all with his “government is not the solution, government is the problem” bullshit. So, in other words, he and his camp followers would like to BE part of the problem?
Well, if that’s the case, they have certainly succeeded in making the problme worse.
“Personally I kind of hope that Rand Paul wins in the general since that means that Republicans will be trading one asshole only to have another one even assholier hung around their necks”
I live in KY (hubby is retired military). Please noooooo. It’s bad enough my Senators right now are McConnell and Bunning, do you have any idea what MCConnell and Paul would do to my teetering mental stability?
Not only has Randy been surrounded by the like-minded for way too long, he is also a Doc, and therefore used to most people being deferential to him. These few days have been a rude awakening on many levels, and it couldn’t happen to a better guy.
I don’t want to be assholier than thou, but Rand Paul is asking for it.
I just found out he was named after Ayn Rand. The kid didn’t have a chance.
Ahhh,TBogg ad all of you have given me a good laugh for this Friday evening. Well, except for you tern. Thanks to all of you. Now I’m gonna go home and try to keep from cryin about all the rest of the week….
Shhhhhh wavydavy. Be vewy, vewy quiet. The tricky devils are overthrowing the gubment from the inside. Then they’ll slink off to well-paying lobbyist positions…
Paul/Limbaugh 2012!!1!11!!
“Libertarian Tourettes” should be in the DSM.
Somebody needs to whisper the following luurve words to Rand: Somalia’s the ticket baby, yeah, that’s it Somalia. The land of the wild and free with no gun laws and you can use gold as currency. Also. Too.
Is it just me, or was Rand Paul and John Lydon separated at birth?
Stop picking on Rand Paul. Not only did the liberal media twist his words, a bunch of SEIU goons stapled a dead badger to the top of his head.
ha ha ha ……….. this is why I come here. The comedy. thanks.
TPM is reporting on Random Paul’s obsession with a NAFTA superhighway:
Sort of like Atrios’s supertrains, but EeeViiiilll.
Someone needs to ask Random Paul what he thinks about the unified North American telephone area code system, and whether he makes long distance calls through the operator as God and Reagan intended, or if he’s been coopted by Greater Aztlan and is furthering the apocolypse by direct dialing.
I’d also like to hear his positions on Free Silver and whether he’s for or agin’ decimal currency, but I doubt that they would be even marginally coherent.
Libertarians are completely different from right wing Republicans because they would repeal the civil rights act for totally different reasons.
Hell they’d repeal the Bill of Rights, in fact they’d return to the real original intent which is not the Constitution which was already corrupted by “big government” because they all got together and wrote it down, no they’d go back to what the Framers were thinking before they wrote it, which is the real original intent, in fact they’d outlaw interrupting any line of thought about freedom and liberty because while a thought isn’t a Constitution yet, it has the potential to be one, and no they wouldn’t outlaw it by passing laws, smarty pants, because those involve the government, they’d outlaw it by rounding up anyone who broke their train of thought by for example asking liberal lesbian questions that confuse them.
The only reason people hate Libertarians is because they don’t know what they stand for. Once you know, what’s not to like?
Paul is in favor of a Constitutional amendment banning abortion – even in cases of rape or incest. It’s difficult not to conclude that Paul feels that women don’t own their wombs.
Libertarianism is the pushmi-pullyu of political philosophies.
Libertarians are what Republicans call themselves when they want to get laid.
I thought ‘Libertarian’ meant ‘a Republican who still smokes pot’.
But then again, if Mr. Paul (man, that sounds weird, even to me) smoked the evil weed he’d probably be a lot less of an asshole, so there goes that theory.
“Paul is in favor of a Constitutional amendment banning abortion – even in cases of rape or incest.”
That would make for more little ones to work in the factories at $.10 an hour.
My favorite, for sheer gall, is his insistence that the government not cut back on Medicare payments to people like himself because he deserves a good living.
But I think the thing that might actually take this asshole down in even Kentucky (even more than his asshat take on BP) is his attitude towards coalminers’ deaths…shit happens…and coalminers’ families really don’t mind when shit like that happens because, hey, they have a great dying-in-the-mines tradition. I want to see him campaign in coal country. Maybe he could enlist Blankenship to campaign for him.
Actually, when one thinks about it, Blankenship of Massey Mines is Rand Paul’s ideal businessman. He ignores the gubmit when it gets in his bidness and really doesn’t give a shit who gets hurt or killed (cost of doing business) as long as the mine makes money. He even resents ‘funeral time-out’.
Will someone please, please ask Rand-boy about mine safety rules or would that be asking too much of the ‘press’?
Rand already stated that OSHA and the Mineral Management Service should keep their noses out of Kentucky’s mines.
Imagine if they had to actually answer tough questions from real journalists on a regular basis. What real journalists? Have you seen any lately, the kind that ask tough questions and insist on answers? Rachel Maddow sorta tried with Dr. Paul, but the giggling and apologizing apparently got in the way of her saying, “Hey, stop the bullshit and answer the question, dickwad!”
O RLY?
(Sorry, I never got my chance to say that.)
Libertarians are Republicans who like to smoke dope and watch porn. I’ve never seen any real difference beyond that.
