You are the first one to even describe him as a twister of knives, he won’t ever catch up to Governor Palin.

Inserting the knife between the third and fourth ribs and twisting it is an art form. The great ones can do it with such deftness that the victim never knows he's been penetrated until he feels the knife turn. Gov. Palin has mastered this art form, and she does it with both precision and style.

From this article, it's clear that Senator Paul has been taking lessons from Mrs. Palin. He has a good way to go, but he's showing a definite knack for it. I'd give him an 8 (out of 10) for substance and a 6 for style.
