Okay, I Have To Admit …
… that if I were Rand Paul’s neighbor, I’d have been in jail years ago.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) was assaulted at his home on Friday, according to police.
A neighbor of Paul’s, Rene Boucher who is an anesthesiologist, blindsided Paul and tackled him, causing minor injuries.
Boucher’s altercation with Paul left the senator having difficulty breathing as a result of a “possible rib injury” in addition to bleeding from cuts around his mouth. Paul was seeking medical help for his injuries, the warrant said.
The FBI was on the scene to determine if the alleged assault had been politically motivated.
Politically motivated? God, I hope so. I’d hate to waste a blindsided tackle on something like not cleaning up dog poop.
Thanks to SGray for the heads up.
I don’t think this is going to be as much fun as it originally seemed when early reports just said that Rand was assaulted in his home. My husband asked, “Did they meet on Grindr?”
1So, a real doctor (the anesthesiologist) takes down a fake “eye doctor”. Let’s start with that real distinction.
And yes, I wondered when I heard that the altercation was in the home just how the perp got inside. Could only guess he was invited. Incidentally, I am going to look up “Grindr”.
2Ironic. Guess the senator with his own personal curb stomping goon squad was offended by a little neighborly touch football.
3Be careful, Maggie. You could get on some really weird mailing lists if you do that.
4AK Lynne, I was just going to try Wikipedia. Maybe I shouldn’t?
5Well Maggie, if you go (even to Wiki!) be prepared for some really interesting advertisements to pop up…hee hee!
6It was racial. Attacker was a white guy. Paul is an alien loon.
7I heard that the neighbor tackled Paul while he was outside mowing his own lawn!
8Curious! LOL Wonder if the guy was trying to watch a game on TV and Paul’s lawnmower was just too loud … could be!
Could be the neighbor just can’t stand Rand Paul like so many of us and decided to just dropkick the SOB.
🙂 … Maybe I shouldn’t 🙂 about that! 🙂 I’m sorry, I simply cannot help myself! 🙂
So why wasn’t he packin’ an NRA-issued pistol so he coulda defended hisself? Dumb ass…
9I missed the memo, didn’t realize it was “Punch a Nazi Day” again already.
10Turns out Paul’s injuries are five broken ribs, at least two disclocated ends, which means a year of painful recovery.
NO EXCUSE for violence over politics, but the RUMOR is that the guy who assaulted Paul is an – wait for it – angry husband.
11Property dispute, is what I heard. Hopefully nothing so crass as “whose wife is it, anyway?”
12Maybe it really was about dog poop. I personally regard Rand Paul as dog poop, but that’s just me.
