Ron Paul Goes Ga-Ga, Ca-Ca

This is a rather crazy week in politics. On CNN, we watched John Murtha turn into a human shambles as he explained to the ever-credulous Wolf Blitzer why the U.S. couldn't win the war and was in fact incapable of losing it. Also, there were several sightings of Ron Paul -- the man with two first names -- usually accompanied by Big Foot.

People accuse me of hating Ron Paul (or is it Paul Ron?). Actually, I worship the quicksand upon which he walks. He's the one who's certain 9/11 was our fault -- with us offending certain perfervid Muslims and all that.

Recently, one staunch Paulite threatened the life of mild-manner blogger, S J Reidhead at The Pink Flamingo. Apparently, in her comments on Paul she failed to show sufficient adoration. What will the Paulites do to the poor soul who described their favorite candidate as "a human bug-light?" One shudders to imagine.

I prefer to imagine Paul as David Duke without the sheet.

I did, however, enjoy immensely the following story about the libetarian Mr. Paul. I found at a truly outstanding blog, Sword At-the-Ready.


RENO, Nev. — Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul, an underdog Texas congressman with a libertarian streak, has picked up an endorsement from a Nevada brothel owner.

Dennis Hof, owner of the Moonlite BunnyRanch near Carson City, said he was so impressed after hearing Paul at a campaign stop in Reno last week that he decided to raise money for him.

“I’ll get all the (working girls) together, and we can raise him some money,” Hof told the Reno Gazette-Journal. “I’ll put up a collection box outside the door. They can drop in $1, $5 contributions.”

Hof and two of his prostitutes, Brooke Taylor and a woman who goes by Air Force Amy, attended a Paul news conference.

In the last campaign -- 2004 -- there was a national effort to "Get Dennis Kucinich a Date." I propose that we busy ourselves by getting Ron Paul a life.
