I am not a fan of Paul, but this man’s obsession with him and venom against him is profoundly bizarre.
Such is the nature of the Straussian (oc)cult there and, unfortunately, elsewhere in the conservative movement. They have a strange habit of promoting idiotic hacks as if they were the "best and brightest" the movement has to offer. Hence we get a profusion of Kristols, Frums, and people of their type who would be perfectly unemployable if they had to rely upon their own underwhelming talents rather than the neocon patronage that keeps them afloat.
