Rand Paul tried to score some backhand political points against Hillary Clinton yesterday by talking about Monica Lewinsky.
We cats thought, Monica Lewinsky? Who's Monica Lewinsky? And then it dawned on us — ohhhhh, that Monica Lewinsky.
"I think really the media seems to have given President Clinton a pass on this," Paul bleated. "He took advantage of a girl that was 20 years old and an intern in his office."
This living-in-the-past quote is funny and desperate on so many levels that we cats aren't sure where to start. So we'll stick with the Senator's most obvious, glaring error: Ms. Lewinsky may have been many things back in 1998, but 20 years old was not one of them.
The Republicans would love it if, on top of everything else they've called him, Bill Clinton were a pedophile. But he isn't. Heck, he's even getting awards from children's hospitals now. We cats PURR.
UPDATE: Note to President Clinton: We suggest you double down on whatever campaign and fundraising help you're planning to give Alison Lundergan Grimes against Mitch McConnell. Make Rand Paul come back to Kentucky, to try to save the career of the Senate colleague he hates.

Even if Lewinsky were 20, or even18, Paul is still saying that women are so stupid so malleable, so naive that even at 20 they don't have the brainpower to guide their own destinies. So, while trying to vilify Clinton he once again insulted women.
Yep, Rand is ridiculous in many ways. We picked one.
