I’ve Been Waiting for This…

posted by on August 20 at 16:20 PM

Wonkette is on fire today. Not only does it bring me the YouTube clip of that fly crawling around on Chris Dodd’s hair that I’ve been waiting for…

It also brings me a YouTube clip that I didn’t know I’d been waiting for—Ron Paul yelling at a chubby guy about his need for a diet (from the Morton Downey Jr. show in 1988):

The Ron Paul clip is amazing--if that took place on Jerry Springer no one would have turned a head.

Ron Paul - meaner than GWB but only half as stupid.

Um, who the Hell is Ron Paul?

I forgot all about Morton Downey, Jr -- didn't he die of lung cancer years back?

The short course on Ron Paul:

US Representative from Texas. Physician. Strongly libertarian. Nicknamed "Dr. No" for his habit of voting against bills that he disagrees with. Running for president in 2008 on the Republican ticket; has run before on the Libertarian party ticket. Largely ignored by the mainstream media, or cast as "crazy." Very popular on the Internet.

Personally, I agree with him about 50% of the time, and strongly disagree with him the other 50%. Any other conclusions that you draw will have to be your own.

I appreciate the short course. I keep hearing his name from people but never knew who he was. Weirdly, it seems to be people who dislike him that are helping spread his name around and giving him name recognition.

Man, I didn't realize how much I missed Morton Downey Jr. until now. Don't forget his hit single "Hey Mr. Dealer."
