Rand Paul Tests the Limits of Political Cowardice

By Charles Pierce, Esquire
09 August 14

In a Wednesday radio interview on WHO in Iowa, Paul said that he had "sympathy" for the "DREAM Act kids" and conceded that, "I'm actually a moderate on immigration." Paul, who was seen walking away after the DREAMers accosted King, said he "had time to stop and grab my beer" so he "wasn't in that much of a hurry" to get to his next interview. He said that a minute before the "kamikaze" DREAMers approached King, he told journalists that he needed to take a "couple more bites" of his burger before doing more interviews. "I'm not interested in being filmed and being berated by people who broke the law," Paul said. Paul, a potential 2016 GOP presidential contender, has said he favors giving work permits to all of the country's illegal immigrants and noted that he still supports a comprehensive immigration reform bill. He also criticized Texas Governor Rick Perry, a potential 2016 rival, for embracing in-state tuition for illegal immigrants and luring illegal immigrant juveniles like President Barack Obama did with his temporary amnesty program for DREAMers.
America's brogressive love-puppet speaks the weaselspeak like a native, doesn't he? He doesn't want any contact with the berating scofflaws, but he wants them to have work permits, but not in-state tuition. In four or five days, he will likely reverse all three of these reversals of positions. He will feel very strongly all three ways and, also, free pot! All in all, I am disinclined to agree with my friend Bob Draper that we are living through the libertarian momentat least as represented by Senator Aqua Buddha. This is because "the libertarian moment" is a scam.
Also, I do not seek political enlightenment from former MTV hosts, especially ones that used to crush on Dan Quayle in their former lives as S.E. Cupp's inner child. This is why I never discuss trade policy with Martha Quinn.
