Discussion: Rand Paul: I've Been 'Testy' With Male And Female Reporters

What amazes me is this guy with obvious anger issues along with a whiny voice has been able to convince some money people he is presidential timber.

Debate prep should be fun.

Immaturity is such a wonderful attribute for a Presidential contender.

Dude, you know they record these things, right? That there is objective evidence? That you have already screwed yourself into the ground on this issue, and you can make all the counter claims you want to make, but the clear facts show you to be a misogynist as well as a liar?

The world doesn’t hold enough popcorn.

ā€œEditorializing.ā€ I have to give it to him, that is a pretty good one for evading questions that state his prior positions. And it sounds a bit smarter than the Sarah Palin favorite ā€œtrick question.ā€

…particularly if it’s a hostile interviewer and so I do think that interviews should be questions and not necessarily editorializing."

Rand is hilarious.

And toast.

If the Republican nominating process were a horror movie—and in any way that counts it is—Rand would certainly be the whiny, irritating, and borderline hysterical character who you know will get killed off in about the first 11 minutes of the flick.

Gosh, the campaign is going swimmingly!

Don’t piss off those folks who buy pixels by the barrel, sonny. It won’t end well.

Has he, though?

Convinced money people that he’s presidential timber?

I wonder if he has one of these in red?

NO ONE WANTS a BIG JERK! in White House! He belongs in the NUT HOUSE!!!

Seriously, I believe Rand thinks this make him look macho and manly when in reality he looks like a prissy dick.

IMO.

Rand uses ā€œeditorializingā€ to be a bad thing, because ā€œliberalā€ media.

Come on down, Kentucky newspapers.

Look, I’m a dick. There, I said it. And I’ve got a lot of crazy things out there that I’ve been recorded on tape saying that I have to answer for that I don’t want to actually answer for. I’m not that hard to understand, I just want people to vote for me despite all the nutty-wacko-half-thought-out nonsense I’ve been saying over the years leading up to this. I’m not that hard to understand…

Like I said. Toast.

Maybe I’m a cynic, but I’m pretty sure that this is the best he could make of the situation. He’s got a campaign adviser somewhere telling him, ā€œRand, you’re running against Hillary and you’ve come across as a jerk to TWO female members of the media. How the f*ck do you think that’s going to play in the general?ā€

And thus, some poor AP guy got shouted at in order to balance the scales.

The way future interviews for Rand should go would be like this:

Interviewer: ā€œI don’t want to ā€œeditorializeā€ here, so I’m just going to play this tape and ask you to explain what you meant when you said it, and what your position is today.ā€

Show the tape of Rand saying the moon landing was faked or whatever, and then let him talk. Then show the tape again. Repeat until he’s no longer a candidate.

Well that is certainly a trait we need to have as POTUS, a hot-headed jerk.

I think confidence is actually something of which he has rather more than is warranted. In Paulworld, he’s The Chosen One, destined to restore America’s pre-Progressive-Era glory. He reeks of entitlement and self-regard – thinks he’s the smartest guy ever born (a trait he shares with many libertarians), somebody who found it eminently appropriate to create his own fking medical board to certify his very special qualifications, whitesplains the history of the Republican Party to Howard students, and sees any question other than ā€œwon’t you please honor us by sharing your wisdom?ā€ as effrontery. He’s an arrogant dauphin, and delusional into the bargain – as much about himself as about any of Alex Jones’ fantasies.
