Look everybody it’s Randall “Rand” Paul, who sounds exactly like his dad, and looks a fair amount like him too except with adorable curly hair! He has officially formed an exploratory committee to look into running for Jim Bunning’s Senate seat. (Bunning says he’s absolutely running for re-election, which means come on, he’s totally not running, which leaves this Republican seat open.) Dr. Paul has a handsome web site, and he’s already raised, what, nearly $14,000. He’s basically Barack Obama plus Ron Paul divided by Christopher Reeve’s Superman. [Rand Paul 2010]

I’ll bet he drives a blimp to work.

What teabaggery is this?

mookworthjwilson May 15, 2009 at 4:31 pm

but did he ever throw a perfect game against the Mets??? Hmm???

OffTheRecord May 15, 2009 at 4:32 pm

YES!!!! Oh god this makes me happy. What doesn’t make me happy is that Bunning is totally going to drop out at the last minute to give Grayson the nomination. But until then it shall rain comedy gold on my homeland.

I want to make a comment about teabagging, surgeons and curling irons, but… nah.

queeraselvis v 2.0 May 15, 2009 at 4:33 pm

Gay.

SmutBoffin May 15, 2009 at 4:33 pm

He says “mojo” all funny-like.

AxmxZ May 15, 2009 at 4:33 pm

Is his either middle name “Ayn”?

nappyduggs May 15, 2009 at 4:34 pm

He and Rahmses have the same thyroid eyes, but his hair is much dreamier. Too bad about his ill-formded DNAs.

Texan Bulldoggette May 15, 2009 at 4:34 pm

His name indicates that he is the secret love child of Ron Paul & Anyn Rand. But, yeah, he’s almost as cute as Bo the Dog.

Crank Tango May 15, 2009 at 4:35 pm

Is that Rand as in Ayn Rand or Randall as in Tony Randall? Either way, pretty ghey.

drrty martini May 15, 2009 at 4:36 pm

After he said “moe-joe” twice, I melted. *sigh*

Zadig May 15, 2009 at 4:37 pm

Perhaps the best part of this announcement is the name of the youtube clip is written out “Rand Paul ANNOUCES Senate Bid”. The poor frothy-lipped Paultard was too excited to double-check the spelling on his uploaded video. Or he’s COMPLETELY retarded.

Stinky May 15, 2009 at 4:38 pm

That curly hair may be libertarian, but it’s not real. It’s a rug.

engulfedinflames May 15, 2009 at 4:39 pm

MOJO!!! MOJO!!! let’s see now where’d i put that mojo,was here a minute ago.

Also Rand.

OffTheRecord May 15, 2009 at 4:40 pm

[re=318167]Zadig[/re]: Or the fact that he is not even announcing a senate bid, he is announcing that he is forming an exploratory committee to decide if he is going to run. He probably will cause god knows Kentucky is full of idiots who would follow him, but still, jumping the gun Paultards.

Stinky May 15, 2009 at 4:47 pm

King of the hair gel, too, apparently.

Aloysius May 15, 2009 at 4:48 pm

So why does he need to repeat everthing? Need to repeat everything a second time?

Fuckin’ Randroid.

shortsshortsshorts May 15, 2009 at 5:11 pm

Another OT Public Announcement (obviously I have no life)

EXCITING PUBLIC GATHERINGS: Hey people! If you are anywhere near San Francisco this Sunday, our chapter of the Wonkette cult is meeting up. Essentially what this means is that there will be drinking and it will involve Bay-to-Breakers, somehow. E-mail shorts@shortsshortsshorts.com for the details.

No Exercise Required.

MORE DETAILS:

To make this work, we will have to be drinking— heavily. So we’ll be loading back-packs with cheap beer and meeting on the park side of the corner of Hayes and Scott (Alamo Square) at 10:30 a.m.

Bring booze, guns and plenty of hookers, if you’d like. We probably won’t be walking very far (all of us will be drinking at a bar a bit later after walking). That’s the extent of the plan. I (skinny, awkward looking blonde dude) will be wearing a t-shirt that says “God Bless America” and a green hat.

MY FATE IS SEALED.

Zadig May 15, 2009 at 5:14 pm

Also, he’s going to try to get to the Senate before his dad? Is that proper family protocol these days?

Hart88 May 15, 2009 at 5:17 pm

Crank Tango May 15, 2009 at 5:19 pm

[re=318218]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: but will you be wearing shorts?

RoscoePColtraine May 15, 2009 at 5:21 pm

He needs to strongly condemn his father’s derogatory use of the word ‘queer’ in Bruno’s new movie. I will also need to see him without his shirt before I can comment further.

shortsshortsshorts May 15, 2009 at 5:23 pm

[re=318225]Crank Tango[/re]: Obviously.

Joshua Norton May 15, 2009 at 5:29 pm

I went to a gay bar for Happy Hour last Friday. That’s what this thread reminds me of. So if you were ever wondering what it was like to go to a gay bar, now you know. Plus you don’t have to dress nice to be here. Or go to a gym. Or do the buttsecks.

But other than that, it’s just like it.

hobospacejunkie May 15, 2009 at 5:29 pm

[re=318218]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: skinny, awkward looking blonde dude

*sigh*

Shorts sounds like a dream boat. If I weren’t already opposite married I’d want to gay marry you, Shorts.

Speaking of blimps, TPM pointed out that Xe (what Blackwater is calling itself nowadays) is apparently advertising its blimp capabilities. (They’re also getting drunk and shooting people up, but that’s nothing new.) Anyway, Rand may want to see about getting them onboard with his campaign.

Accordion-o-rama May 15, 2009 at 5:34 pm

His wikipedia page shows he’s pretty gullible, falling for various internet con jobs:

Rand Paul? I think all libertarians just creamed themselves at his name alone. Wonder which extremist group they’ll have to sheepishly apologize for with this character.

LittlePig May 15, 2009 at 5:36 pm

[re=318181]pondscum[/re]: Aw dammit. If not “Ayn”, Paul pere could have gone with “McNally”.

S.Luggo May 15, 2009 at 5:54 pm

“Rand Paul is a career doctor …”. Thank you, baby Jesus. For a moment I thought that he practiced medicine as a hobby.

Purdy wife, and I like that she spells her first name the traditional way: with two E’s.

Scandalabra May 15, 2009 at 5:55 pm

I’d do it, but then I’d do a lot of things. Please god, don’t let this be the topic for Weekend Wonkette.

Randy co-wrote the new blues song, “My Mojo Is Not Working, But Collecting Temporary Disability.”

Well, I’ve seen enough.

Custerwolf May 15, 2009 at 7:53 pm

His hair is so thick and curly you hardly notice his eyes are totally fucking crooked.

Custerwolf May 15, 2009 at 7:58 pm

“has been married to his loving wife”
So you’re saying he’s not a fag?

[re=318327]Custerwolf[/re]: Now don’t you go spoiling this for me, Custerwolf!

As a matter of curiosity, has it ever happened anywhere that a wannabe politico’s “exploratory committee” has EVER come back after doing its thing and said, “Sorry, Jack, but the vast majority of voters really just want you to STFU and go away…”?

rocktonsammy May 15, 2009 at 9:52 pm

I met 2 other doods name Rand today.

Rand’s hair looks damp because of the Fountainhead.

Bruno May 16, 2009 at 2:43 am

So Randall = Rand?

I thought Randall = Randy. Which means he’ll get on quite well in the UK. I recommend he introduce himself as “I’m Randy” to as many dominant husky macho male types as possible.

Bruno May 16, 2009 at 2:57 am

I would like see a debate between Randy and Michael Steele. I think the talk of ‘Mojo’, ‘Baby’ and ‘Hip-Hop’ would add a lot of flava to an ordinarily insane Fox News broadcast

It’s going to break the heart of many a Paultard when they find that “Rand” doesn’t accept contributions in the form of liberty dollars.
