Rand Paul considered catheter for filibuster: ‘I’ve put them in before’

[Cali_Democrat]

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) says that he considered self-catheterization to minimize trips to the bathroom during his nearly 13-hour filibuster on Wednesday.

The morning following Paul’s marathon attempt to block John Brennan’s nomination to be the next director of the Central Intelligence Agency, the Kentucky Republican selected conservative radio host Glenn Beck as the platform for his first interview.

<...>

“Did you think about giving yourself a catheter at any point?” the radio host wondered. “I know you’re an eye doctor.”

“You see the thing is, I did think about it,” Paul admitted. “I’ve put them in before and I really decided against it.”

5. Explains a lot.

If that is common in his Eye Practice, I'm not surprised he had to start his own board for certification.

7. Spike his water bottle with some lemon-lime

magnesium citrate. He'll HAVE to leave the Floor. "Depends" won't mask that!

16. hahahahahaha. Now thats just evil. Of course, he'd probably just poop 'em like his hero Ted Nugent.

[Ilsa]

17. Yeah, I can dream and suggest

A few evil deeds, but I probably wouldn't actually spike his drink unless lives were at stake. I really am a fairly decent person. Most of the time.

9. I would like to apologize for my ignorance.

I had no idea that there is a correlation between catheters and "eye doctors".

Heck, I don't even know what an "eye doctor" is.

However, I am familiar with "optometrist" and "ophthalmologist".

[msu2ba]

10. No correlation.

That's just how he spends hot Saturday night dates with himself.

[DollarBillHines]

13. Thanks for clearing that up.

Now, I want to know how he gets his hair to do that thing that it does.

[cthulu2016]

20. All doctors have residency

[madinmaryland]

11. He could have just worn one of David Vitter's diapers.
