Rand Paul gets the Matt Taibbii treatment

Last week Ben Smith at Politico did a story about some material that's been dug up about Rand Paul's college pseudo-fraternity, the "NoZe Brotherhood" - I have a few things to add to the same story today.

First, some background. The "NoZe" was like a fifth-rate Southern wannabe version of George Bush and John Kerry's secret "Skull and Bones" society, a group of wiseass kids from Baylor University (from whence Paul, incidentally, never graduated before heading off to medical school) who got together and smoked herb, pulled dumb pranks and published a very strange newsletter.

GQ already aired out some of the worst of the "pranks," one of which was a bizarro episode with a female student. The GQ piece quotes the female student, a member of Paul's swim team, who was visited by Paul and one of his NoZe brothers:

1. Well, Matt should know about wise ass kids because I am sure he was

one himself...

Not that there is anything wrong with that...

2. Most of us were wiseass kids

but if we weren't born as rich as Randorrhoid Paul was, we got over it fast.

Rand Paul is a nut. He wants to do away with Social Security and Medicare. Rand, just like his father Ron, both believe singlepayer healthcare is unconstitutional.
