A few days ago I called Rand Paul a walking train wreck. I was understating it. This guy is his own worst enemy. He knows the media spotlight is on him and he still makes amazing gaffs that anyone who has spent more than a few minutes in public life would avoid. Call it idealism? I think he is just naive and that is not the kind of person you want leading a state.
In his latest foray into the waters of controversy he said he things smoking in public restaurants should be a right. Specifically he stated, "For example, I am opposed to the government telling restaurant owners that they cannot allow smoking in their establishments."
OK fine, but what about the employees who have to work in the smoke filled restaurants? Then in the same Op-Ed piece for the Bowling Green Daily News, Paul compared himself to Martin Luther King, Jr. Strange from a man who thinks the Civil Right Bill infringes on the rights of businesses to discriminate and segregate.
Mr. Paul, you 15 minutes of fame is up.
