While right wingers have been all over the map on the U.S intervention in Libya, flip-flopping and crashing into one another like a bad Laurel and Hardy routine, Rand Paul has found that sticking to one’s principles (in his case, he’s against a new front in the war) makes for a clear head and a relaxed approach. So relaxed he was able to get off a few much deserved zingers at the Congressional Correspondents Dinner last night, according to a retelling and linked video at Think Progress:
PAUL: 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. I think he has more war positions than he’s had wives. […]
(ouch!)
There’s a big debate over there. Fox News can’t decide, 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, 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?
