THIS IS RAND'S FAULT

Ron Paul Running Side Business In Communist Poland?

Wonkette’s secret Eastern European money-laundering operative “Adam” sends this photo and writes: “Hey, I was in Poland last week traveling and I came across this ad. For real, is that the Doc Paul? Is he creating a freedom revolution FOR POLISH EYEGLASSES!!????” The answer is no. That is clearly Magneto, maybe.

    TEH rEVOLution es world wide?

    YAYS.

    There’s an obvious Polish joke in here, but that wouldn’t be racial transcendence.

    Magneto…or Tim McCarver, maybe.

    And I didn’t know that eyewear styles of the 1980s have finally hit Poland.

    Another one of Rand’s crazy get-rich-quick schemes, I reckon.

    Lord Growing: … that he doesn’t want to pay taxes on.

    “Big Brother is watching you.” It’s amusingly ironic because he’s a libertarian — and kindy icky because he’s an obstetrician.

    How many Poles did it take to hang the billboard???

    Wait till they find out how full of shit he is.

    Ron Paul in Polish: “I will bring you hope, old friend, and I ask only one thing in return - don’t get in my way.”

    Operative Adam has been self-medicating with the vodka a wee bit.

    It’s Gandalf, duh!

  11. Dean Booth says at 7:50 pm, May 28th, 2009

    He clearly needs an omni-grab.

  12. President Beeblebrox says at 7:59 pm, May 28th, 2009

    Говно, suddenly Dr. Congressman Paul is appearing in Eastern European stock photography. Makes sense ‘cos the Doktor is хуйня anyway.

    Yes, yes, I know, I’m using Russian vulgarities instead of Polish, but I don’t have a keyboard setting for “massive amounts of weird diacriticals”.

    BadMFer: Looking at the crease in it, I’d say one more than the number they used.

    hobospacejunkie: You went, I see in the last post, to the Agricultural Training Institute in West Lafayette, IN? Me too! Holy shit — where did we go wrong?

  15. dijetlo says at 10:45 pm, May 28th, 2009

    Those are wire frames so no way that’s Magneto. Dr Paul must have finished fixing the Somalian government and now he’s off to Poland to sprinkle some Libertarian magic dust.

  16. CockedAle says at 11:22 pm, May 28th, 2009

    Doc Paul? Ich don’t think so. Unless he went searching for von Mises and ended up getting chased by Bruno into Paul-land.

  17. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 1:25 am, May 29th, 2009

    Doctor Paul is Watching You!

  18. S.Luggo says at 2:22 am, May 29th, 2009

    Please be submitting your response in person to Room 101, Senate Office Building, c/o Jeff Sessions.

    Those are fiat glasses, not made of real gold and therefore having no value.

  20. enVie says at 7:54 am, May 29th, 2009

    Maybe Dr. Paul is auditioning for the role of Horatio Kane in CSI:Warsaw?

  21. Origami says at 9:53 am, May 29th, 2009

    This is easy to explain.
    Wanting to make some extra pocket money and in desperate need of a little attention, Ron Paul agreed to pose for Getty Images while they were scouting “regular folks” outside of a DC-area Safeway. They told Paul that he had that “great, crotchety old-man look” that they needed to round out their stock photo collection.
    Getty paid him $50 for his troubles.

    bitchincamaro: Let me assure you when vacationing in Poland as a Jew, the vodka as medication is a necessity.

  23. queeraxis says at 7:54 pm, May 31st, 2009

    It’s been twenty (20) years SINCE the fall of Communism in Poland! I visited in 1999 and witnessed Democratic Capitalism in full swing…

    Yes, Poland is a predominantly Catholic country, however, much of that is symbolic and vodka is the alcoholic drink of choice there as in much of eastern Europe.
