Ron Paul Ambushed by Vermin Supreme

MANCHESTER, N.H. — Texas Rep. Ron Paul's final full day of campaigning in New Hampshire got off to a bizarre start Monday when he was met by a bullhorn-toting man with a rubber boot on his head who challenged him and President Obama to a "panty-wrestling match to decide it all."

The man, who goes by the name "Vermin Supreme" and is running for president, was waiting in the parking lot as the libertarian icon exited a diner here and slowly inched his way through the media horde to his black SUV.

"Ron Paul, Ron Paul, Ron Paul, Ron Paul," Vermin purred into the bullhorn, playfully taunting the 12-term Texas congressman. "You are surrounded by the media. The media owns you now."

"My name is Vermin Supreme; I'm running of the president of America. I stand for mandatory toothbrushing laws," he said, delivering his on-the-fly stump speech. "I'm a friendly fascist, a tyrant you can trust because I know what is best for you. I am on the ballot here in New Hampshire, and you can vote for me. I am Obama's primary primary challenger. I am challenging him and Ron Paul to a debate and an arm-wrestling match, leg-wrestling match and a panty-wrestling match to decide it all — the presidency of the United States."
