Rand Paul: I Decided Against Using Catheter During Filibuster

Source: TPMLIVEWIRE

Asked by Glenn Beck Thursday whether he considered using a catheter during his long filibuster of CIA director nominee John Brennan, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), who is a doctor, said he decided against it.

"I did think about it," Paul said in an interview. "I've put them in before, but I really decided against it."

Paul ended his filibuster at 12:39 a.m. Thursday, saying, "I've discovered there are some limits to filibustering, and I'm going to have to take care of one of those in a few minutes."

but all seriousness he did make a decent point. Too bad the Democrats from 2007 were missing at the time bit disappointed. because John Brennen is the reason we dislike Bush/Cheney. I voted him out. Hell if I want him back.

as he is rude and crude and hates all minorities, and as every word out of his mouth does (which is what the cathertor removes).

humanity....

Not to mention...Glenn Beck is as well...

How in the world did we reach a point where people like this have any discourse to offer? I am all for debate and recognize we have varying opinions to discuss but seriously, these people are so far off the mainstream of reality, yet they continue to be recognized.

Amazing....and horrid at the same time.
