Paul the 'kook'
By Izzy Lyman
This past weekend, Republican “kook” Ron Paul won the CPAC presidential straw poll with 30 percent of the vote.
Mitt Romney came in second with 23 percent.
This is the second year in a row that the Republican congressman from Texas has been the decisive winner at the Conservative Political Action Conference’s annual gathering.
How does he do it?
The “kook” is too old to be a hunk, a stud muffin, or a boy toy.
The “kook” is no attractive, eyeglass-wearing female from an exotic state.
The fashion statement of the ‘kook’ veers toward frumpy, not snazzy.
The “kook” is no smooth operator, captain of industry, dotcom billionaire, or celebrity pundit.
The “kook” has been pilloried as “al-Qaeda’s favorite member of Congress” by a fellow Republican.
Donald Trump, who appeared at CPAC, dissed the “kook,” poo-poohing his chances at winning the presidency.
So how does Dr. Paul remain so … well, so hot?
His hotness, if you will, was on full display this past weekend at CPAC in Washington, where he delivered a twenty-minute speech cheerfully railing against U.S. taxpayers’ money being poured into foreign governments, the Federal Reserve, the Patriot Act, U.S. military presence in Germany and Japan, budget deficits, the devaluation of the dollar, and bipartisanship, while championing civil and economic liberties.
