SO NOW, RAND PAUL is "seriously considering" running for president, which is code for I am intoxicated by the power, prestige, and attention i receive as a united states senator, and i want more of the same.
It is certainly not code for I want to be of service to my country. It never is. Anyone wanting to be of service need only pay a quick visit to a salvation army location, or plant a tree. One need not engage in a desperate twenty four seven two year pursuit of high political power to be of service to one's country.
Rand Paul the other day stood on the floor of the senate and refused to stop talking, because he had not received an answer from president obama to the following question; "would you ever launch a missile attack against the united states of america?"
Let us assume, for the sake of sanity and cynicism that no president of the united states would ever attack america. Can we ast least agree on that? Apparently not. Rand Paul already knew this, knew the answer to his theatrical, fatuous query perfectly well, but anything for a bit more attention from the media.
This is not the behavior of a person who is qualified to be president. This is the behavior of a small child. This is petty, this is juvenile. Well, he got his answer, in writing, from the attorney general. It is to be hoped that any campaign he launches for the american presidency will be met with the derision it so deserves.
