Who are these losers on Twitter who were today and yesterday
so proud of Senator Rand Paul’s 13 hour filibuster yesterday?
Are they delusional?
The occasion for the prolonged Show and Tell was the senate
confirmation hearings for CIA director John Brennan. Even Senator Paul agrees that Brennan will be
confirmed, and that he couldn’t do anything to stop it.
What I like about Senator Rand Paul is that he’s a “regular
guy,” the kind of guy who might change his own flat tire when he’s not out on
the range trying out his new Remington.
But after making a grand show of his opposition to Chuck Hagel, President Obama’s nominee for
Secretary of Defense, Rand reversed himself and voted for Hagel.
Yesterday, he used the occasion of Brennan’s nomination to take
the stage as leader of the Libertarian
so-far-right-they’re-left cheering section. That
enhanced his profile, but it also sucked up much needed oxygen on issues that
really need answers.
But the worst thing about Rand Paul’s filibuster was he
voted for the incompetent Hagel and spent a tremendous amount of energy
opposing the competent Brennan. Brennan escaped
the grilling by Congress without revealing significant details about Benghazi, true,
but supplanting the black hole of Benghazi, something that did happen, with a
hypothetical drone scenario which didn’t happen, is just the sort of thing that
marginalizes.
Besides, doesn’t it worry the tight sneakers “principled”
crowd that Rand Paul’s filibuster was praised by uber-lib Jon Stewart, Left Wing-Ding Van Jones, and actor John
Cusack? Ask Andrea Tantaros , if you don’t
believe me, or check her Twitter TL. And doesn’t it clue anyone in that Ron Wyden
joined with Rand Paul to open up the filibuster?
It should, but then again, these people I’m talking about
are intellectually numb, monomaniac, and born to lose.
