Rand Paul refused to shake hands with Jack Conway

[itsrobert]

at end of debate. Real class. :sarcasm:

[Kookaburra]

1. Well, I'm sure Conway is ok with that

[classof56]

2. Why oh why am I thinking of that Charlie Brown TV show...the one where

Snoopy kissed Lucy and she freaked out, running around saying "Ack! My lips have touched dog lips. Get the soap and water! Get the disinfectant!"

Maybe Jack had a similar feeling and was relieved when Rand opted out. Completely understandable!!

[saltpoint]

3. He would have shaken hands with him had Conway pledged

to worship the AquaBuddha.

Otherwise, no dice.

[bluestateguy]

4. Was it very obvious?

If it was, it could become an issue.

A spurned handshake helped cost Clayton Williams the Texas governorship in 1990 to Ann Richards.

Well that and his "joke" about rape.

[itsrobert]

7. In his closing remarks, Rand Paul said he won't shake hands with his opponent

So, I think it was obvious.

8. Did he give a reason?

[BootinUp]

12. He is crying because of Conways recent ad (link)

19. libertarians aren't the ubermensch they like to think themselves to be.

Really, they're just a bunch of spoiled, overprivileged suburban twerps with massive egos. What a bunch of crybabies.

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

9. WTH.

[Maru Kitteh]

10. Seriously? Did he happen to say why? What an ASS.

[Parker CA]

15. He was pissed at Conway's recent ads against him and wouldn't shake his hand. Absolute idiot. nt.

[JBoy]

5. Maybe it's just because his hands were drenched in flop sweat.

[book_worm]

6. I still really think that Conway can win this race in KY

11. Video here.

13. Damn if I had to shake hands with Paul I'd make sure I

had santi-wipes . I'd pull a Monk.

[asdjrocky]

14. Spoiled rich kid.

It's like his dad is some rich doctor who's been in Congress forever.

[felinetta]

16. Paul is such a class act. Can you imagine this worm in the Senate. He's just a punk.

[kentuck]

17. I could see Conway on a national ticket in a few years...

He's a very bright guy and a good speaker.

[itsrobert]

18. Clinton/Conway

?

[intaglio]

20. Perhaps it was because Conway observed

that an Attorney General really needs to be lectured on the Constitution by a ..."self-certified Ophthalmologist" :rofl:

[Dappleganger]

21. Go cry in the corner, you jerk...

nobody is going to vote for your sorry ass anyway.

[era veteran]

22. The carpetbagging dullard strikes again.

Like S. Angle flip flops and denies. Aqua Buddah always sounded like a bong name to me.

[Dorian Gray]

23. On NY1

this morning, they said the debate was so contentious that they refused to shake hands with each other at the end. I didn't see the debate myself. Interesting if they mis-represented the story and it was all Rand Paul's attitude and not Jack Conway's.

[AndrewP]

24. This asshole is everything that is wrong with America

A typical self entitlted Teabagger who can't take criticism.
