Maddow: Instead of Apologizing, Rand Paul Is ‘Melting Down’ Over Plagiarism Scandal

[Tx4obama]

Copy of VIDEO also here: http://www.mediaite.com/tv/maddow-instead-of-apologizing-and-moving-on-rand-paul-is-melting-down-over-plagiarism-scandal/

It appears Rachel Maddow is not going to let up on Rand Paul any time soon. After first breaking the news of his plagiarism off Wikipedia, Maddow has kept on hammering Paul almost every night about his inability to own up for what he did, and on Wednesday night Maddow realized the reason Paul’s been reacting so poorly is because he is just incapable of handling any criticism well.

1. Oh yeah, great incentive for people to stop calling you dishonest...

Threaten to quit!!

STOP! STOP! Laughing so hard I can't breathe!!

[johnd83]

2. "Detention?"

In most universities this would be enough for expulsion. If only the senate worked that way...

[mahina]

3. I get the feeling he sees himself as a young man.

Not even going to try to unpack that.

[ReRe]

12. That's right...

He has never in his life been held accountable for anything. In college, he no doubt was given his grades. I hope someone is busy at work doing the research on his life, especially in college. Like an unofficial biography. Hell, think of GWB and Mitt Romney! Oh there's so many on the right you could say the same thing about... how in the HELL did they graduate from high school, let alone college?

[trusty elf]

17. Yeah, you know, as a detainee.

4. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

Reap what you've sown, buddy!

[ljm2002]

5. This is a delicious scandal...

...it's just so much fun to watch him melt down over it, as one after another example comes to light.

Thanks Rachel for starting the ball rolling, and thanks to you and all the others who have continued to expose him.

Here's hoping he takes a page from Sarah Palin's book, and quits in a fit of pique before serving out his term.

- Take that! You haters and hacks!

7. Paul needs to quit screaming "Leave Me The Hell Alone"

Rather than admit his serial cribbing, Paul is letting fly the HELLS and DAMNS to anyone who will listen...

Rand Paul On Plagiarism Claims: 'It Annoys The Hell Out Of Me'

"It annoys the hell out of me," Paul said. "I feel like if I could just go to detention after school for a couple days, then everything would be okay. But do I have to be in detention for the rest of my career?"

Dear Randy,
Detention? Heck no. Students are failed and expelled for less.

[cyberswede]

8. Yeah - he's handling this exactly the wrong way...

thank goodness.

[freshwest]

9. ROFL also

[QuestForSense]

10. He can't seem to believe that reality isn't going to go away.

His responses should frighten everybody who isn't a dummy. He is not presidential material. He could go back to being an ophthalmologist. That would be all right with me.

[jtuck004]

11. But then the pharmacy says the script is wrong, and he challenges them to a duel... n/t

[Iwillnevergiveup]

13. Who's the "we" he's talking about?

At this point, it's fair to say I wouldn't trust him for an eye exam either.

[Rebellious Republican]

14. I am sure this was all over Fox news...

[cui bono]

15. I hope we can take his threat seriously! And I hope the media continues to bother him so he'll

follow through. Of course he'll back down from that though, so hopefully he's forced out.

He seems to not handle things well when he's not answering to his morans who vote for him.

16. BREAKING: Rand Paul Defends His Lifting Of Quotes From Wikipedia By Citing Multiple Authors

The Washington Times Terminated Senator Rand Paul's column contract on the grounds that Paul had plagiarized quotes from Wikipedia.

Paul defended his actions by saying that lifting quotes from Wikipedia is not plagiarism, because the articles are not written by a single person. Paul went on to say "When you steal form one author it's plagiarism, when you steal from many it's research."

The Editor of the Washington Times then pointed out that playwright Wilson Mizner said that in 1930, and proceeded to kick Paul's freedom-loving ass out of the office.

18. +1 for the gif (or whatever that file is). nt

[blkmusclmachine]

19. Help, I'm melting!!!

[bearssoapbox]

20. He doesn't think he's done anything wrong.

That's why he can't handle the critisism of his actions. In his warped mind he can't understand why some people think it's wrong.

Like so many of the psychopaths that make up the Teabagging, Right Wingnuts in the conservative party.

Honesty, honor and empathy is not in them.

[Scuba]

21. He's found a new home, one that's not interested in honesty or fairness. Perfect.

22. Frat Boy Temper Tantrum

It seems all of the cheating in School, has not served him well. There was a Time when Daddy could 'fix' things and make the problems 'go away.' That Time has come and gone.
This is what happens when the Village puts the Idiot in charge.

23. Rand Paul is too stupid to become POtUS

Rand can not deal with the real world

[marble falls]

24. Please, Rand don't teach us a lesson, don't go back to being a "doctor". Let the voters do it for..

you next election.

[Blue Owl]

25. He's wigging out

[gopiscrap]

26. Three words of advise to Rand Paul: Go Fuck Yourself!!!!!!!!!!!

[spinbaby]

27. Why I think he's so outraged

Politicians rarely write their own stuff nowadays--they hire professional writers. I think Rand Paul's writers plagiarized because Rand Paul was too cheap to hire real writers. Now he's outraged that he's being held accountable.

28. thanks for posting this...k and r..
