Voluntarily being on Rachel Madcow's show, then gaffing about civil rights............not a good start.

Let's hope he's a quick learner now that he's on the national stage.

Actually, Rand Paul had been on an earlier Maddow show and had been fairly treated. The difference was that he wasn’t perceived as a threat to the left the first time.

I’m glad this happened, if for nothing else than to prove to those libertarians who hadn’t figured it out yet:

“You ain’t got no friends on the left.”
