I have said this before and will say it again: Democrats need a political operative who takes no prisoners. They are so damn passive when it comes to crap like this. Rand and the rest of the GOP need to be called on their crap. Hit back hard.

Huh? What’s that?

Well, that hardly matters. When 16 God-fearing Americans are left to die in a . . .

What? Not 16?

Okay, come on, let’s stop pussyfooting around here. It doesn’t matter if it’s 16 or 6. Each one of those fine . . .

What NOW, goddamnit? Can you let me get one full sentence out before–

Four? That’s it? So what’s with all the screaming and endless Congressional committees? For god’s sake, 241 American servicemen died in Lebanon when Reagan was–

Hatchette Book Group, which published Paul’s book…

What an appropriately name publisher.
