Your argument is backward. I would have to assume more than what is written to reach the conclusion that you are basing it on more than the Letterman exchange.
As I said I make no comment on the content, you may well be right, I have not followed Paul.
I frequently blog at a very Paul (Ron and Rand) intense blog site. This article was actually a response to some of the Paul worship going on there. Worshiping a politician - any politician - (and yes, I mean Ronald Reagan too) - is just plain wrong.
