That’s one hell of a tackle.

Broken ribs suck, because there is basically nothing they can do about them, as long as they don’t puncture anything internally.

Rand Paul is an a$$ in his public life. Should it be a surprise that he may very well be one in his private life?

" *****and he will be back fighting for liberty in the Senate soon”

Is it mean spirited to admit that the normal human sympathy I was starting to feel for Rand Paul…this statement kind of killed it? This fucking self promoting clown and panderer to Kentucky crypto segregationists who still has an issue with application of the Civil Rights Act to businesses that engage in Interstate Commerce?

Someone gives a conservative a big hug and this happens?

There was some fury involved for the neighbor to slam him like that. I suspect that the ‘rest of the story’, if we ever learn it, is interesting in a rubber necking sort of way.

That will teach Rand about not picking up his dog crap.

Am I the only one who finds it suspicious that first of all, they sent Doc Bornstein to Kentucky treat him, the Doc’s initial diagnosis was “heel spurs”?

Maybe Rand will be indisposed just long enough to not get pestered for his vote–or have it held against him" --for Tax “Reform”.
If so, tha’s one less affirmative for the Bad Guys.

Hell, they walked their dogs together - so the neighbor seems to have repeatedly shown a high degree of political tolerance. This sounds more like a somebody-got-pregnant situation.

Or Paul said something callous about the girl with cerebral palsy who was arrested by ICE on her way to emergency surgery in Texas. I can see an anesthesiologist having a violent reaction to something like that, actually.

The truth is probably something much less interesting, like not picking up dog poop.

Wonder if Paul was on the cheating side of town?

My good friend is married to Boucher’s son’s good friend. She texted me yesterday to tell me she’d have the skinny in the next few days. Stay tuned.

I’m waiting for someone to condemn all this white-on-white violence, lately.

The most obvious thing in the world is that this has nothing to do with politics. You don’t suddenly get all pissed off at and attack a neighbor with whom you’d previously been friendly. Something prompted it, and something prompted the police to charge him with the lowest level charge possible.

In Kentucky:

An assault on a U.S. Senator that results in hospitalization for broken bones—misdemeanor.

Possession of drug paraphernalia—felony.

Oh yeah? My friend’s dog used to know Boucher’s son’s dog’s kennel mate. He says his dog has promised to get to the bottom of this tomorrow.
