Rand Paul, the emo-Senator/fake opthamologist from Kentucky, really really hates people telling him what to do and their stupid rules that say he can’t do things like, oh, I don’t know, use a melon-baller to scoop people’s eyes out if he wants to because of some kind of made up bullshit “health standards” or whatever. Today Paul got all pissy with a lady from the Energy Department because the lady can have an abortion any time she wants but he can’t flush his poop without help:
At a hearing of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources on Thursday, Mr. Paul lambasted Kathleen Hogan, deputy assistant secretary for energy efficiency at the Energy Department, telling her that the department’s “hypocrisy” and “busybody nature” has “restricted choices” for consumers rather than made life better for them.
“You don’t care about the consumer really,” Mr. Paul said. “Frankly, my toilets don’t work in my house, and I blame you.”
They were supposed to be talking about lightbulbs but Rand Paul thinks and talks about his poop all day long which is why none of the other senators will eat at the same table in the Senate cafeteria with him where he sits by himself, dunking his tater tots in to his chocolate pudding before eating them while making this weird humming noise. Did I mention he that he chews with his mouth open? Yeah. Totally gross.
Anyway, Rand Paul asked the Energy lady if she likes aborting Jesus babies all day long:
Mr. Paul also drew a pointed parallel with abortion, opening his questioning by asking Ms. Hogan, “I was wondering if you are pro-choice?”
Ms. Hogan said she was “pro-choice in light bulbs.” But Mr. Paul accused her, the energy department and Democrats in general with hypocrisy. “You favor a woman’s right to abortion,” he said, but “you’re really anti-choice on every other product.”
He said that department standards on energy-efficient refrigerators and toilets, for example, don’t work. “We don’t even save any money,” Mr. Paul said. “We have to flush the toilet 10 times before it works.”
Then Paul started to get up to leave the room without being excused but some mom lady made him come back and apologize for being such a dick:
Mr. Paul started to leave the hearing room shortly after his turn at questioning the witness, but he was called back into the room by Senator Jeanne Shaheen, Democrat of New Hampshire, who scolded Mr. Paul for being rude to Ms. Hogan.
“I think it behooves us all not to engage in name calling,” Ms. Shaheen said. Government workers like Ms. Hogan are simply trying “to carry out the work Congress has asked them to do,” and Congress can change the law if it wants, she said.
Paul just rolled his eyes and said “Yeah, Sorry, Whatevs…” before going to his room, slamming the door, and playing Dashboard Confessional really loud while screaming “I fucking hate you guys! I wish I had never been born.”
Later he came out for pudding…

Buy some Toto toilets, Rand, and the poop goes away with just one flush and just 1.6 gallons! It is amazing, and lord knows my husband has tried his best to disprove that selling point. Oh, right; a plumber (a union thug no doubt) would have to install them, so Rand would rather swim in his own shit.
It’s tableaux like these that make me wish I could be a high-level bureaucrat, for no reason other than to have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to answer to such nonsense, in a public forum, with arched eyebrow: “Well, Mr. Paul, if what you lay out into your toilet on a regular basis is even half as big as the whoppers you lay out here in public, it’s little wonder that you can’t make it all go away with just one flush.”
Crowning achievement of a career, that would be.
Oh God you make me laugh sometimes!
And then you make me think. I wonder how many angst ridden teens there are who got their wishes granted and they were never born? Surely this ties into the abortion debate?
I’m just waiting for the network/cable “news” tonight highlighting the rudeness of the prima donna senator to the poor, unsuspecting witness. Oh wait, Paul’s a Republican. Move along now, nothing to see.
True…having done some toilet shopping recently, it was nice to find out that the gripe about low-flush toilets from 15-20 years ago is no longer true, and they work just fine.
Rand, you’re not supposed to flush your sanitary napkins. Didn’t your mother teach you that?
If he replaced the flapper thingy he could flush in one go but evidently Galtian self-reliance doesn’t apply to things like toilets.
And then stick his head in it. It won’t be his first swirly, I’m sure.
rand is aborting food babies. where’s the outrage about that?
Rep. Paul’s unhealthy focus on feces may harken back to his childhood—when he sadly discovered that the other children were eating an entirely different type of brown play doh.
Evidently, little Randian’s mummy never taught him that being rude to people, who cannot thump you on the melon without losing their job, is proof positive that you really, really deserve to be resoundingly thumped.
Well, ole’ Rand is admitting to the world what we suspect about Republicans. That would be that if they are given an enema, they would fit into a match box.
No wonder a trip by him to drop the babies off in the pool does not end well.
No toilet can handle too much feces.
“They were supposed to be talking about lightbulbs but Rand Paul thinks and talks about his poop all day long which is why none of the other senators will eat at the same table in the Senate cafeteria with him where he sits by himself, dunking his tater tots in to his chocolate pudding before eating them while making this weird humming noise. Did I mention he that he chews with his mouth open? Yeah. Totally gross.”
Hilarious! I haven’t been tickled like that since the Alaskan guy’s Moose-n-Cheese lunchables hissy-fit scene.
Rand, honey, there isn’t a toilet made that will flush pebbles of lead. On the occasions you pass anything.
Hogan’s response to the abortion question should have been, “Unless you can tell me what the rational connection is you can go fuck yourself, Senate-WHORE.”
Maybe this is a compromise Rand Paul can get behind?
At the same time we remove all environmental protection laws, we remove all the laws protecting corporate executives. Make them pay for their own protection. They are free to dump all the toxic waste they want in the name of profit but others are also completely free to do anything to stop them in the name of survival.
If the toxic waste profiteers give up police and fire protection then the EPA would be unneeded.
How about it, Senators Pauls? Fair is fair.
Maybe the good senator didn’t want to talk about light bulbs because he knows that he’s not a very bright one? Whereas concerning shit …
The fact that the government requires toilets and indoor plumbing at all is an affront to personal liberty. Building standards should be modified: the people have spoken, and we want our freedom to poop in our living rooms back!
I have a Toto Toity – a TALL Toto Toity – and it’s swell. Japanese of course. But installed by my very own union plumber/contractor.
Oh, dear. Kentucky must be so proud.
Rand Paul is our very own real-life Frank Burns:
Randian Libertarianism, the only religion where sociopathy is a sacrament.
Rand Paul explains himself to a constituent.

Oh dear. Apparently Dim Rand has been trying to flush the boxes of old receipts from Medicare he built his Eyes R Us practice on. I guess he never heard of a shredder, or he has one and can’t get it to work because he can’t figure out how to flip the light switch on the wall where it is plugged in. Electricity, toilets, medical board exams; the modern world can be confusing.
Gawd I’m so outta the loop. It hadn’t occurred to me that when that crazy ol’ coot and curmudgeon Simpson went after Snoopy Poopy that he was talking about Rand (my shit don’t stink) Paul. Well how was I to know?!
Wow, Rand has a lot of issues, including the focus on pooping and toilet training. Libertarians in general have that “You can’t tell me what to do!” attitude.
Randy Pandy, as a red-blooded Murkin, eats nothing but red meat, ideally raw.
Trouble is, it makes him crap depth charges.
What a horrible, pathetic person he is. My god.
Beyond the rude nastiness, his comments were incredibly illogical and hypocritical. So he’s for government control over a women specifically, and what they can do with the cells within their bodies? And Mr. Freemarketeer didn’t do his own research before going out to get his latrine? My better half and I did and could not be happier with our choice. One of the lowest water users on the market and we’ve been amazed at how, ummmm, powerful they’ve been. Far, far stronger than our previous water guzzlers in the house.
And what about the fact that we even had the choice of the low-flows that work? And LED lights? Our choices have been INCREASED by various government initiatives.
So he fails while wading through the glorious Free Market, then blames a government employee, in a very public way, who works on issues around light bulbs?!? His diatribe is beyond belief, especially when seeing the video of it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELDHaeEsNF0
His own YouTube account puts it up as a point of pride. Highest-rated comment says, “That was like sex.” Basically sums it all right there.
I’m not sure how one confuses a toilet with a light bulb socket, but apparently, there’s some weird shit going down (or not going down, as the case may be) at Casa del Rand.
kds1776, thanks for the link! Judging from the empty seats, all the other reindeer don’t wanna hang with Randolf when he gets his turn at the mike.
Damn that idiot Paul! Can’t he read the sign over the toilet?
“FLUSH TWICE: IT’S A LONG WAY TO GOP HQ”
Well, if we’re talking about sex with Rand Paul, it probably was: A woman was left in a state of confusion, Rand Paul himself stormed out to sulk, and the whole thing was very centered on poop.
Maybe if he ate more fruits and vegetables he’d solve his toilet problems AND he’d stop acting like such a constipated prick.
Rethug jokes just write themselves….no shit, hey?
All due respect to Toto’s, but Ol’ Rand would get all pissy having to buy a “furrin” toilet (see what I mean?).But all he has to do is go down to his local Home Depot (a loyal Rethug contributor) and buy an American Standard (he’ll get starbursts from the name alone) that swallows a dozen golf balls at a crack…(oh, stop me….) in a half tank flush. Got two of them at the house. Even enough for a double pump when Mrs Rand yells about the smell through the door.
Ok. Now I have to go gargle with vinegar…..or sumpthin’…
I waded into the comments under the video on Paul’s page. All the usual Libertarian stuff of course, but I almost can’t believe the amount of hatred toward the woman who had to endure Randy’s nonsensical temper tantrum. disturbing.
Well, that’s what happens when you try to flush a light bulb. (Helps if you take it out of the lamp first.)
Krugerrand is Dim Son II: Flushlectric Boogaloo and is being a typical libertarian “I’m entitled, you’re not” at these hearings.

“You favor a woman’s right to abortion,” he said, but “you’re really anti-choice on every other product.”
Am I the only one who noticed that in Rand’s “mind,” and I use the term advisedly, a baby is just another product?
Rand needs a new knickname. Maybe crapper clogger, or turd tornado, or he who leaves poo in the loo.
What does Flush Limbaugh say?
