A broken clock is right twice a day

a drummer no one else can hear

When the highlight of the live stream was the yellow jacket that flew into the candidate’s car…

Funny, I’m not a fan and I didn’t find it interesting. But I still agree with the remedy.

Hey Chubs, why don’t you take yourself out back and do the same?

darrtown · October 15, 2015, 1:58pm

Such a violent man!

frankly_my_dear · October 15, 2015, 1:59pm

Why bother to take it out back? Just send it to college. Likely to get the same result.

zlohcuc · October 15, 2015, 2:00pm

Oh,and Rand,make sure you get the stooge Eric first,Thanks!

Oh … deeee-lightful! Nothing makes my first cup of coffee taste better than enjoying a little GOP assclown on GOP assclown violence in the morning!

The pudgy Xtian sociopath fancies himself a kingmaker.

sickneffintired · October 15, 2015, 2:18pm

Oh that’s cold…but I love it!

Repub cannibalism. Sit back. Enjoy.

It delights me to no end to imagine that the whole cabal of feckless Republican Presidential aspirants scratching their heads wondering how “President Obama made this running for President thing look so easy…and he’s black!”

Rand Paul is a loser who permanently damaged his brand, whatever that was, by his bizarrely inept Presidential campaign. I hope he loses his Senate seat too!

Erickson, who had endorsed Paul’s 2010 Senate bid, wrote Thursday in a column titled “Rand Paul, It Is Time to Take Your Campaign Out Back and Shoot It.”

Rush Limbaugh uttered similar sentiments privately to his studio staff. But it was more along the line of "Rand Paul, It Is Time to Take Your Campaign Out Back and Spank it Hard, Until it Cries Out 'Hurt me Mommy, hurt me some more!'" Finally the little Dominican girl he'd promised some ice cream cut him off and led him out the back door.

It seems he should be telling that to Jeb Bush and the rest of the 1%ers

Erickson has the term dumbass flagged so he gets an alert any time it appears in the news – always keeping an eye on what people are saying about him.

gothamer · October 15, 2015, 2:49pm

I’m definitely no fan of Erickson, but “He has marched to the beat of not just his own drummer, but a drummer no one else can hear” is a great turn of phrase.

breccia · October 15, 2015, 2:54pm

Erick Erickson may not be smart enough maintain different first and last names, but he IS smart enough to understand that Rand Paul is not really running for president. Paul is running for publicity, money and influence, and maybe a little, to make daddy proud.

Anybody who wants him out before the convention needs to find a better reason then “you’re not doing well.” The very reason we’re blogging about this ignorant hayseed proves that his thimble is runneth-ing over.

Erickson should do the same to Red State.
