Rand Paul: Newt Gingrich 'May Have More War Positions Than He's Had Wives'

[one_voice]

Freshman Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) tested his comedy act during a speech at the Congressional Correspondents' Dinner on Wednesday night, taking aim at Newt Gingrich with an edgy joke comparing the former Speaker of the House's recent flap over flip-flopping on his Libya stance to his number of wives.

"I was happy to see that Newt Gingrich has staked out a position on the war, a position, or two, or maybe three. I don't know. He may have more war positions than he's had wives," Paul said, seemingly triggering more shocked murmurs than laughs.

Paul then quickly switched gears, skewering Fox News for their position on Libyan intervention.

"There's a big debate going on over at Fox News. It's really messed up, I mean they don't know what to do. They just really can't decide over at Fox News, it's like, what do they love more, bombing the Middle East or bashing the president? It's like, I was over there and there was an anchor going -- they were pleading, they were pleading -- 'please, please, please, can't we do both? Can't we bomb the Middle East and bash the president at the same time? How are we going to make this work?'"

1. The only good thing Rand Paul has ever said. Newt Gingrich is a shitpig.

And the 'shocked murmurs' from the audience are laughable. Shock! Horror! He criticized the Holy Newt! The Great Bloated King Newt - Lord of the Sleazy Reshitlican Hypocrites.

2. I am amazed the Rand would bring up Libya after his own huge flip-flop

On March 1st the U.S. Senate unanimously passed a resolution requesting the UN to impose a No Fly Zone in Libya.
Rand Paul did NOT object.

Watch this awesome video of Lawrence O'donnell nailing Rand Paul on his flip-flopping and lying:

3. Rand also lied about the senate permission for Libya! He's not his father!!

No where near the integrity of his father. You don't have to agree, but to lie? This went on for a week!

5. Randall and Newton are cut from the same cloth

Paul is just puffing up his 'independent loose cannon' public image by making an easy target of one of his own...
