Seriously? This guy sets off an alarm in an airport security line and refuses a patdown, so he gets arrested and somehow he's the hero from it? And the TSA didn't grope him or anything crazy like that?

If Rand Paul wants to exercise his right to privacy of the possessions he carries with him, he should exercise his right not to get on a commercial airplane. Basically, the senator needs to act like a pompous spoiled brat and throw a temper tantrum because he can't bring some metallic object on an airplane.

What has happened to my party? The inmates are running the assylum.

Personally, I blame the Federal Reserve for this.

No, the verdict is out: it's the $1 billion embassy in Iraq that's to blame.

He's currently being fast-tracked through a kangaroo court.  The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upgraded his initial sentence to quadruple death penalty.

Rand Paul: Exactly like every other Republican Senator, but with added douchebag.

I'm not sure if this new tendency to appeal to the apparent inherent evil of Xahar in all things even remotely related to forum policing or this damn game is especially helpful.

The Kentucky Republican went through a body-imaging machine Monday morning and refused to submit to a pat-down after setting the machine off.

Setting the detector off then refusing to cooperate.

What a hero!!!

There's a problem with your formulation: he didn't set off the detector. Around his knee it beeped. Rand Paul raised his trousers to show that nothing caused the beep, and, requested a rescan since the wand obviously malfunctioned.

The real scandal in Washington is not the bribery, corruption, or sex. It is how poorly we are governed.

Why are there no blue Skittles?:

The creator of skittles is a black nazi Muslim. Black people can't see blue, nazis think blue is a Jew color, and Muslims just wanna hit blue with planes. Soooooo...no blue skittles
