National Review‘s T.J. Walker on the only authentic …. person in last night’s GOP debate:
“Ron Paul has the unfortunate distinction of looking and sounding wacky and impish, even when he says entirely reasonable things. He brilliantly and succinctly positioned his opposition to the current war within the context of Eisenhower getting us out of Korea, Nixon having a plan to get us out of Vietnam and Bush vowing not to start ‘nation-building’ (in the 2000 campaign) that must have left a lot of Republican viewers thinking ‘this guy makes a lot of sense.’ Unfortunately for Paul, he looks like a combination of My Favorite Martian’s Ray Walston and a comedian who habitually ran for president, Pat Paulsen; not helpful.”
Is it me, or is this, as the kiddies say, a bit too gay? Unsurprisingly, Senor Walker pronounces Pretty Boy Romney — “At six-feet-two-inches tall with perfect hair and impeccable tailoring” — the “winner.” So, is the Republican “debate” all about who is the … prettiest?
