1. So disappointed the interviewer Wasn't up on the facts.

You would think these journalists would make sure that have done their homework. Anyway, Rand is either not very bright. M

3. I want to know why he sent his son to the Welfare Office to prove

his existence. Was he also signing up for welfare?

If he was trying to buy him an unsubsidized policy on the Exchange (rather than sign up for Medicaid), there wouldn't have been any reason for him to go to the welfare office.

5. hmmmm where does Paul's son reside? Does he recieve any support from Mummy and Daddy?

Rand might have committed welfare fraud, has that angle been checked out?

9. My understanding is this is William Paul

The one who is a sophomore at the University of Kentucky and who keeps getting in trouble for underage drinking, and once even for assaulting a flight attendant.

I've been thinking about this and it's possible the son does qualify since he's an adult living separate from his family and a full time student. What isn't possible is that his son was enrolled against his will. If he qualified he would have had to go to a seperate website (kynect) and fill out the application there to get on Medicaid. It's not possible he was enrolled against his will like Rand Paul is claiming. They had to actively seek out the option for Medicaid before he was enrolled.

7. I wondered why his son was not either on his father insurance on on his college insurance.

This story made no sense whatsoever (which is not surprising for Rand Paul, of course).

8. Randy Rhodes covered it yesterday. Imho, Rand Paul is a delusional fool.
