Rand Paul is saying: "I don't care about any stinking law about dueling; it's just that I can't hold office if I duel, and I don't want to deprive my constituents of my stellular representation. . . . That's too cruel to contemplate. . . . Otherwise I'd shoot down these lying cowards like the cry babies they are, hiding behind law and the proprieties of modern society! . . . Geez."

*******************************************************

The above CAPTION is based on Paul's express desire to duel those who exposed his plagiarism. Maddow, as always, is great on this in the following Huffington Post story:

3. "My weapon of choice? The truth . . . and a flamethrower."

4. "Listen closely. Plagiarism is considered academic dishonesty last time I checked.

Well, . . . I don't hold any professors up to a senator's standards, and I don't know why a senator should be held up to an academic's standard. . . . Answer me that, scribblers."

5. "Stealing other people's words is not so important for itself, but it really

keeps me in practice."

6. Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ea--ah, dammit.

8. OMFG ... Rand Paul has issued a fatwah!!11!

Oh noes!

9. Can't hold office if you duel?

Didn't stop Andrew Jackson, or Aaron Burr (it did stop Alexander Hamilton, though). Or is this a Kentucky thing?

ETA: a quick check of Wikipedia claims one can't hold state office in Kentucky if one has participated in a duel, but US senator isn't a state office, so Rand Paul's should be fine if he has his duel elsewhere.

10. I never had sex with that plagiarist material.

See? My hand is too contracted! It was the woman who I dicktated it to. Ha ha! I said dick.
