LIBERTARIAN DYNASTIES

Meet The New King Of The Paultards!

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]

  1. Monsieur Grumpe says at 4:30 pm, May 15th, 2009

    I’ll bet he drives a blimp to work.

  2. Crab1 says at 4:31 pm, May 15th, 2009

    What teabaggery is this?

  3. mookworthjwilson says at 4:31 pm, May 15th, 2009

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

  4. OffTheRecord says at 4:32 pm, May 15th, 2009

    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.

  5. AxmxZ says at 4:32 pm, May 15th, 2009

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

  6. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 4:33 pm, May 15th, 2009

    Gay.

  7. SmutBoffin says at 4:33 pm, May 15th, 2009

    He says “mojo” all funny-like.

  8. AxmxZ says at 4:33 pm, May 15th, 2009

    Is his either middle name “Ayn”?

  9. nappyduggs says at 4:34 pm, May 15th, 2009

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

  10. Texan Bulldoggette says at 4:34 pm, May 15th, 2009

    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.

  11. Crank Tango says at 4:35 pm, May 15th, 2009

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

  12. drrty martini says at 4:36 pm, May 15th, 2009

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

  13. Zadig says at 4:37 pm, May 15th, 2009

    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.

  14. Stinky says at 4:38 pm, May 15th, 2009

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

  15. engulfedinflames says at 4:39 pm, May 15th, 2009

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

  16. SayItWithWookies says at 4:40 pm, May 15th, 2009

    Also Rand.

  17. Gun-toting Progressive says at 4:40 pm, May 15th, 2009

    Pray… For… Moe-Joe…

  18. OffTheRecord says at 4:40 pm, May 15th, 2009

    Zadig: 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.

  19. Crab1 says at 4:41 pm, May 15th, 2009

    Zadig: A little from column A and a little from column B.

  20. Crab1 says at 4:42 pm, May 15th, 2009

    Pray. For. Mojo.

  21. taylormattd says at 4:42 pm, May 15th, 2009

    That should be “Queen” of the Paultards.

  22. sezme says at 4:43 pm, May 15th, 2009

    SmutBoffin: Moew-Joew!

  23. pondscum says at 4:43 pm, May 15th, 2009

    Rand and Kelley. Double name fail.

  24. districtsleeps says at 4:44 pm, May 15th, 2009

    So his platform is that Pizza Hut is overregulated?

  25. Carrie_Okie says at 4:45 pm, May 15th, 2009

    Stinky: One day he’ll be President. Of the company. That calls itself “The Hair Club for Men.”

  26. Crab1 says at 4:46 pm, May 15th, 2009

    Gun-toting Progressive: Dammit…and with better punctuation too.

  27. Stinky says at 4:47 pm, May 15th, 2009

    King of the hair gel, too, apparently.

  28. Aloysius says at 4:48 pm, May 15th, 2009

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

    Fuckin’ Randroid.

  29. DC Hates Me says at 4:48 pm, May 15th, 2009

    He should hire professional web developers instead of dumb assholes.

  30. AxmxZ says at 4:49 pm, May 15th, 2009

    nappyduggs: Rahm’s eyes are purtier. Also, Rahm wears a smirk to match and has good carriage, like a dancer-boy should.

  31. hpwilliams says at 4:51 pm, May 15th, 2009

    So is it just SKS that is now friends with MSNBC, because the K.O. man had a sad for wonkette
    or is a girl thing because its Rachels show.
    Rachel rocks also

  32. shortsshortsshorts says at 4:51 pm, May 15th, 2009

    Another generation for another rEVOLution. This is going to be good.

  33. Lazy Media says at 4:59 pm, May 15th, 2009

    Gayer than a pair of size 12 ruby slippers.

  34. WadISay says at 5:01 pm, May 15th, 2009

    If anyone is driving around DC, SKS’s house is the one with the steamed-up windows.

  35. JohnnyMeatworth says at 5:02 pm, May 15th, 2009

    Ch-ch-ch-chia!

  36. shortsshortsshorts says at 5:11 pm, May 15th, 2009

    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.

  37. Zadig says at 5:14 pm, May 15th, 2009

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

  38. Hart88 says at 5:17 pm, May 15th, 2009

    Someone stole the tail off that nice man’s Davy Crockett cap

  39. Crank Tango says at 5:19 pm, May 15th, 2009

    shortsshortsshorts: but will you be wearing shorts?

  40. RoscoePColtraine says at 5:21 pm, May 15th, 2009

    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.

  41. shortsshortsshorts says at 5:23 pm, May 15th, 2009

    Crank Tango: Obviously.

  42. Joshua Norton says at 5:29 pm, May 15th, 2009

    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.

  43. hobospacejunkie says at 5:29 pm, May 15th, 2009

    shortsshortsshorts: 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.

  44. Bowdoin says at 5:29 pm, May 15th, 2009

    Crab1: Yeah, some relief for the poors, some for the owner of the Pizza Hut franchise. A typical hands-across-the-aisles hermaphrodite. “A little too much of both and not enough of either.” - Archie Bunker

    The tune goes

    I got my Mojo workin’
    But it just ain’t workin’ on you …

  45. Mahousu says at 5:31 pm, May 15th, 2009

    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.

  46. Accordion-o-rama says at 5:34 pm, May 15th, 2009

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

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randall_Paul

  47. Capricatony says at 5:34 pm, May 15th, 2009

    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.

  48. LittlePig says at 5:36 pm, May 15th, 2009

    pondscum: Aw dammit. If not “Ayn”, Paul pere could have gone with “McNally”.

  49. LittlePig says at 5:37 pm, May 15th, 2009

    Mojo, huh? I really hope some Powerpuff Girl imagery is used against Mr. Objectivist K. Twatwaffle.

  50. loquaciousmusic says at 5:38 pm, May 15th, 2009

    ReLOVEution, Jr.?

  51. LittlePig says at 5:42 pm, May 15th, 2009

    Hart88:
    Up and a-coming from Ken-Tuck-ee
    Most inbred state in the land of the free
    Wants to switch to Ameros and legalize the grass
    Too bad he looks like he takes it up the ass

    Randall, Randall Paul
    King of Paul-Tard-ia

  52. dijetlo says at 5:43 pm, May 15th, 2009

    FUCK! This guys some ideas…if he gains traction he might distract people from the elephant sinking into the tar pit…We need Boobies on TV, right now. Perhaps an “abortion cam” website. Does anybody have a brain dead relative they can lend us? Quick people we need to get the bitters howling nonsense and there is no time to loose.

  53. trondant says at 5:47 pm, May 15th, 2009

    Crank Tango: Randall Flagg

  54. Hawaiiexpat says at 5:47 pm, May 15th, 2009

    Hair. Club. For. Men.

  55. RabidHamster says at 5:49 pm, May 15th, 2009

    He certainly seems excited about all those young kids cumming . . .

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

    “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.

  57. Scandalabra says at 5:55 pm, May 15th, 2009

    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.

  58. chascates says at 6:39 pm, May 15th, 2009

    And his ‘business’ web page shows as much imagination as he & his father’s ideas do:
    http://www.randpaulmd.com/

  59. american mutt says at 6:43 pm, May 15th, 2009

    I respect the Paulites. They are an intelligent enemy.

  60. lawrenceofthedesert says at 6:58 pm, May 15th, 2009

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

  61. Son of Mark Penn says at 7:04 pm, May 15th, 2009

    “Democrat primary”

    Well, I’ve seen enough.

  62. BobTheBuilder says at 7:45 pm, May 15th, 2009

    His full name is Rand McNally Atlas Shrugged Paul.

  63. Custerwolf says at 7:53 pm, May 15th, 2009

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

  64. Custerwolf says at 7:58 pm, May 15th, 2009

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

  65. problemwithcaring says at 8:05 pm, May 15th, 2009

    Mojopo! Where are you?..link to your blog… Link to your blog!!

  66. RoscoePColtraine says at 8:09 pm, May 15th, 2009

    Custerwolf: Now don’t you go spoiling this for me, Custerwolf! That peculiar drawl, and sexilicious ‘graying at the temples’ have got the “Whose your daddy, tha’s right!” playing quite nicely on the ol’ mental reels. And I don’t need the likes of you to go messing it up okay? His eyes aren’t crooked, see? His head is slightly mis-shapen due to a bar fight…yeah that’ll work.

  67. Custerwolf says at 8:32 pm, May 15th, 2009

    RoscoePColtraine: Usually I make those kinds of ajustments unconsciously, but I was just too goddamned tired this time.

  68. stormkite says at 9:48 pm, May 15th, 2009

    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…”?

  69. rocktonsammy says at 9:52 pm, May 15th, 2009

    I met 2 other doods name Rand today.

  70. rocktonsammy says at 9:57 pm, May 15th, 2009

    Hes got Dr. Perry Cox’s hair.

  71. Crankenstank says at 11:05 pm, May 15th, 2009

    Just goes to show you, some people will do anything to get the fuck out of Kentucky.

  72. BrandonMills says at 11:51 pm, May 15th, 2009

    Next time, on “Paultards - The Next Generation”…

  73. Valentine Flintheart says at 12:26 am, May 16th, 2009

    Rand’s hair looks damp because of the Fountainhead.

  74. Bruno says at 2:43 am, May 16th, 2009

    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.

  75. Bruno says at 2:57 am, May 16th, 2009

    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

  76. Bruno says at 3:00 am, May 16th, 2009

    stormkite: And how does one get a job on one of these exploratory committees. Because that sounds like a real easy ride.

  77. yersi says at 3:45 am, May 16th, 2009

    Amazing, now the paultards have another failed cause to latch onto.

  78. schvitzatura says at 7:06 am, May 16th, 2009
  79. schvitzatura says at 7:14 am, May 16th, 2009

    I suspect improved relations between Kentucky and Syria, with ophthalmology as the icebreaker/touchstone.

    The sons of despots (or potential despots) are always eye docs…

  80. mcfrady says at 10:34 am, May 16th, 2009

    Wait…Isn’t he “love child” Ron and Rue Paul? Also.

  81. “Rand Paul”? That’s his Saturday Night name, right?

    “Hi I’m Dr. Paul. Rand Paul. Butt you can call me Dr.” - bet that makes the boys swoon.

    Mojo, also.

  82. L33tminion says at 11:29 am, May 16th, 2009

    What’s this guy, a Republican Austin Powers?

  83. Andropov says at 10:14 pm, May 16th, 2009

    Blech.

    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.

  84. SparkInator says at 3:05 am, May 17th, 2009

    So, who’s the dude interview him?

  85. CapFreeman says at 3:45 pm, May 17th, 2009
