The toilet I’m going to buy Rand Paul

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) had a bit of an outburst at a hearing of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee the other day, revealing that he hasn't had a working toilet for 20 years and, damn it, he blames the gubmint.

Bill Scher has already offered the the senator some judicious advice on how to find a toilet that works. Clearly plunging his prodigious movements has generated quite a bit of anti-government sentiment in Paul. Perhaps with better facilities he will come around to a more benign view of public policy. We all wish him godspeed.

I just wanted to weigh in here because I f'ing love my toilet. I mean, I love this thing like people love their kids. I talk about our toilet so much it makes my wife uncomfortable at dinner parties.

It's made by an Australian company, Caroma. In Australia they don't have any water; consequently, they have the world's best toilet designers. This is our model, the Sydney Smart. Just look at it. What a beauty. ..............(more)

1. Residential toilets aren't designed to contain the level of shit he puts out.

5. Is there a 4,000 gallon model ...

... that lets one flush away several GOP Congressional Reps all at once?

6. I have one of the cheapest low-flow toilets around. And it still works after 10 years.

What's wrong with a libertarian who doesn't believe that the free market is capable of stepping up to produce a product that works? Just because he made bad choices because he's apparently an inept consumer, doesn't mean everyone else has done so.

Hey Rand, ConsumerReports.com subscriptions are only about $40 per year and will save you that with your first well-informed purchase.

Yep, I guess we should be happy he didn't sing the praises of the old fashioned out-house.

13. So, he's backed up and THAT'S the problem?

16. I'm curious about the toilet he had 20 years ago

How is/was that thing fundamentally different than the toilets he can purchase now.

Is this some attempt to attack "low flow" toilets?


I think some reporter needs to follow him to a restaurant and run into the restroom after he has made use of the facilities to see if he left a floater. If not, then he needs to quit bitching about modern toilets.


I would also like to hear Rand's opinion on the subject.

and i never push the button on the right...don't need to waste the water...

that sucker flushes big time
