Wonkette
Paultards were so sad when their Hobbit-King, Ron Paul, finally quit running for President sometime earlier this year. They had nobody to whom they could send their precious money-bombs of Liberty! Fortunately, his son — Ayn “Rand” Paul — is running for Senate in Kentucky, and he raised many moneys yesterday in one of these bombing events.
We’ve raised over $100,000 already today, and it appears things are just getting started.
“The official Rand Paul for Senate website, RandPaul2010.com, reported as of 8:00 a.m. Eastern that the campaign had taken in about $100,000 in Internet donations overnight, bringing the campaign’s total war chest to more than $300,000.”
And holy wow, he’s up over $680,000, which is a pretty good haul! Now he can buy himself a proper blimp.
Rand Paul “Money Bomb” Exploding Today [Rand Paul 2010]
I’m pretty sure that’s Eddie Haskel.
It’s hard to believe there are that many retards in Kentucky………oh wait a minute, no it’s not that hard to believe.
Is that pronounced “Ran-dee”? Is he wafer thin or a complete vapor-candidate? Will he our marry snow tart Sarah and beget little Newts?
widget09: I don’t think they’re all in Kentucky, because the subset of the Kentucky-tards who would be donating AND be doing it on the intertubes just doesn’t add up to that much moolah.
Well — I was going to make fun of his stands on the issues, but most of them are just blank pages. At least he knows his audience.
I don’t know how expensive Pennsyltucky senate races can be, but here in Texas each republican candidate has around $10million already. I fear for future Wonkette funnies if Rand considers a number under $1million to be significant. Yet it is early still and there is plenty of krazy in P-Tucky to be tapped.
bfstevie: Didn’t he just retire from the LA police- he was shot a few times in the line of duty- Eddie Haskel- not Pon Raul’s demon offspring.
He will be crushed. Putting him in the Senate would be like putting a Radio Shack in an Amish village.
Roger3815: Or maybe a Hooters.
widget09: None of that money is actually coming from Kentucky. We choose to spend our hard earned cash (welfare) on ‘bacco, liquor, and Cheetos.
As much as I would actually love for Randerson to win the nomination, just because I love the crazy (and because a Dem could actually beat him), the fact that all of his money is coming from out of state is going to be a serious problem because Kentuckians are weird and trust no one who ever leaves the commonwealth.
bfstevie: He kind of reminds me of the guy on Dallas who was dead until he showed up in the shower and wasn’t.
Roger3815: Both the Amish and Paultards like to dress up like it’s 1781 - COINCIDENCE?!!!!!
He kinda looks like that dude from that POS show “Dallas” that my mom used to watch after the kids were done watching “V”. Also, Jim Bunning wraps his turds in tin foil and saves them in his freezer, so it’s really anyone’s game down there, and that’s kinda two things in tardpail’s favor already.
Ran-d. He’s rocking the mic you know.
ella: YES YES.
Unfortunately, 93.4% of the money is in useless Confederate dollars and hand-made bank notes.
I keep telling y’all, putting all your money in gold and living with your parents for the last 10 years left the Paulites solvent and mostly unmarried. Think about it ladies a 1 oz wedding band would not be a problem, now a diamond ahhhhhh those arennnnnnnn’t likly to hold their valuuuuuuu?
Have they ever seen a Blimp over Kentucky? Could work unless it’s windy.
Time to Pimp da Blimp!
Is that fiat currency or Shrute bucks?
hobospacejunkie: Kentucky is a relatively inexpensive state in which to campaign. The media market is generally cheap, plus there are no college sports in the summer so you basically get the news all to yourself. If you are headquartered in Louisville or Lexington you can drive anywhere in the state in a few hours. It’s a lot of county fairs and annoying signs and appearances on KET. If you’re lucky everyone once in a while someone will call their opponent Saddam Hussein’s son or something equally offensive, but generally it is pretty boring.
I liked him with Wynona in AUTUMN WHEEZE.
He’s kinda cute. Since his mouth is closed and I can’t hear the crazee.
bfstevie: Pardon my misspelling. It’s actually Haskell.
I was referring to Edward Haskell, synergic scientist and integral thinker who dedicated his life to the unification of human knowledge into a single discipline.
The actor who played Eddie Haskell on Leave it to Beaver, Ken Osmond, did indeed follow the career path you described.
I must ask, if only rhetorically, How were any of us insufferable assholes before Wikipedia? And by us I mean myself.
ella: KilgoreTrout_XL: 2 points for each of you.http://tinypic.com/r/v63mhd/3
It’s Patrick Duffy.
KilgoreTrout_XL: Bobby, yes! and much more important-since you mentioned V- I see they are remaking it but w/o Robert Englund as the good lizard invader.
Isn’t this the state the elected Jim Bunning? Yeah, they’d elect a turnip with glued-on googly eyes - for freedom!
bfstevie: oops. http://tinypic.com/r/v63mhd/3
Ah, sorry, we misreported. It’s not 100,000 dollars for Rand, it’s 100,000 rand, which is about eighty-five bucks. I guess the good news is, the Apartheid die-hards love the Paul family!
bfstevie: I’ll cop to that, with the caveat that wikipedia has only made me into even more of an insufferable asshole. However, I am still the first person they go to when my friends & wife don’t know the answer to something. Then I give it to them & they still ridicule me, the fuckin’ ingrates.
I thought he was named after Ayn Rand, which would be stupid and gay. So I am hapy to learn that his ful name is Randal. With only one L. Because al largese is bad, be it in government or speling. RON PAUL
bignutz2: You stole my domo-kun, you turd.
finallyhappy: Can you find it in your heart to forgive me? I addressed my response to your comment to me.
They must learn to keep us olds away from the intertubes.
NJB: Oh no, the Amish love those onion rings
They made a big mistake by running RandPaul…$100k is chickenfeed, even in a state that knows the value of chickenfeed.
Now, if they’d run the other brother, RuePaul, WHOLE ‘nother story.
OffTheRecord: Totally. A Kentuckian who leaves is as bad as someone from New York. On a different note, I am so looking forward to my mother describing this nutball’s advertising to me!
bfstevie: as another oldz-I thought you were just telling yourself something. I like to do that- esp here at work. I am often the only intelligent person with whom I can have a conversation.
hobospacejunkie: Ah, but how much of that came from those money bombs? Everybody knows that money only counts when it arrives in bomb form. Just ask Raytheon or Lockheed Martin.
Rodney Badger: Excellent!
Spiderfrommars: Paul/RuPaul 2012! Pete/Repeat 2020!
It will not be a real Paul campaign until Larry Pratt and company crawl out from under their rocks.
It’s the blimp, Frank, it’s the blimp!
Also, does anyone else think Paul the Lesser is only running to try to get Sacha Baron Cohen to expose his penis to him?
“Rand” Paul? Oh, jesus god.
He’s gonna get elected, isn’t he?
Any check out his wife. Rand’s got himself a good Stepford Wife.
Ron Paul gave his son a woman’s name, for chrissake. Why didn’t he just name him “Mrs.” Paul? No telling how many extra playground beatings the younger Paul would have been on the short end of.
‘Course, “Ayn” Paul can at least campaign as Ayn “The Fountain Pen” Paul — making campaign pledges not to spare the ink when it comes to eliminating entitlements programs or signing over state funds to bail out shareholders at state-chartered banks and S&Ls. He’d even save the Kentucky Derby if need be. I mean, where else are rich white men in rich white suits allowed to vomit on their shoes while downing bourbon by the case?
Oh! Ayn “Atlas Mugged” Rand’s running for the US senate and not KY Governor? Dr. Enema regrets the error.
By the way, just what is a “proper” blimp, anyway? Does it have a giant cartoon of “beagle-ish” Ayn Paul at the cockpit of a dog house in a WWI flying helmet?
And won’t Paul be sending the wrong campaign message to other Senate candidates? I mean, the thought of up to 100 blimps over American air space is kinda scary. Can NORAD even detect multiple blimps without letting one plow into the Pentagon?
Hmmm? I wonder.
