Of course not. He’d technically be a constituent. That would be a conflict of interest for a Republican.
You know, if only we’d cut taxes some more, I bet that guy wouldn’t have hurt Rand Paul.
…wait, no, as a Rugged Individualist, Rand Paul should have proactively taken some fighting classes so he wouldn’t have gotten his ass whipped like a little bitch.
“The fact is, neither Rand nor I have spoken to the attacker in 10 years – since before his wife and children moved away. … Nobody in our family has, nor have we communicated with anyone in his family,” she said of Rene Boucher, a retired anesthesiologist who was arrested and charged with assault. “With Rand’s travel to D.C. in the last seven years, he has rarely seen this man at all.”
ok
She didn’t say anything about whether their kids have seen each other in that time.
There needs to be a rational back story to justify & explain Rand Paul getting his ass kicked? General principle doesn’t suffice?
Yeah, like I’d believe the lying ass of anyone who would marry a motherfucker like Rand Paul.
Hell, I want to kick him in the nuts just for breathing the same air that I do!
she prolly doesn’t know and if she’s aware of those meetings, she (and Rand) saw them as being harmless.
made worse by the media’s gleeful attempts to blame Rand for it
Fox News should be ashamed of blaming Rand for the attack.
That is what she meant, right? Fox News is part of the media after all.
Wow, six broken ribs, pleural effusion and pneumonia in his damaged lung? After 10 years of not talking? It’s like a McCoy vs Hatfield level feud. I bet the kids did run off together.
Anyone call their rep and senators to tell the FCC to fob off on repealing net neutrality? I did! And yesterday too!
I’m waiting for Boucher’s lawyers to subpoena Rand’s medical records. I still don’t believe that “six broken ribs” story. I’ve known people with just one broken rib, and they told me how they were in excruciating pain, and Rand Paul doesn’t look like some superhuman entity who can withstand a lot of pain, although he does like to inflict economic pain on his constituents and the rest of the American people. I have a feeling Rand Paul calls an ambulance when he gets a paper cut. After all, he can afford to do that - he has government health insurance.
Yeah well, sure I’d love to personally stove some Libertarian ribs in, so it may be just that simple.
Yeah, the wife is always the last to know, isn’t she?
“Despite this, he refused to give in to the pain and was determined to fly back to Washington last week to do his job,” protecting the plutocracy at the expense of the hoi polloi.
The husband of a good friend of mine is close to Boucher’s son. He claims Rand was growing pumpkins and the vines were growing into his neighbor’s yard, and also the composting bin was stinking up Boucher’s backyard. Which is why it’s funny that Kelly brings up the composting. These people live in a world of eternal victimhood.
The weird part about this incident is that we haven’t really heard a plausible explanation from either Paul or his neighbor that would explain what this was about.
To me, that suggests that whatever led to this is something that neither of them wants to talk about.
The neighbor’s lawyer says it was about a trivial dispute, but hasn’t said what that trivial dispute was about. Rand hasn’t said much of anything. His wife seems to be saying that it happened for no reason at all.
If there was any whiff of it being a politically motivated attack, Rand would be saying so, loudly and proudly. No way he would pass up the opportunity to nail himself to that cross.
Something is very odd here.
Way OT, but I think we just found the new head of NASA.
Yup
Maybe he was actually trying to help Rand get that rabid squirrel off his head before it bit him?
