Are you suggesting that a "doctrinaire libertarian" won an election landslide in Kentucky? Choose your words more carefully.
Libertarians can be maddening in that they refuse to deal with political realities and love to dawdle and ruminate over the fine details of their political positions, like Martha Stewart arranging flowers. Paul was indulging in a "how many angels can dance on the head of a pin" kind of discussion. In the meantime, real life is upon us.
The reality is, Paul must choose his own words carefully. No liberal is going to cut him any slack when he openly ponders whether the law overreached in the Civil Rights Bill of 64. Now they'll hope they have a "macaca" gotcha, They don't, but Paul needs to learn the lesson in dealing with media.
