Haha. Obv, even if we make the problem worse 99.999% of the time at least we tried to do something!

Oh wow. The Daily Show used that clip with Ron Paul's sexy secretary in a piece of theirs, and implied all kinds of indecent stuff.

I mean, they try to dis him, but what they end up doing time and time again is showing that they have nothing on him and can only do fart-jokes.

Nielsio, wtf is wrong with you that you can't see that the whole thing is just a joke and not trying to take a shot at Ron Paul? You are probably the only person in the world who looked at that and was like "LOL NICE TRY JON!"

That having been said, between that secretary and Mrs. Boro I'd say Ron Paul is doing pretty well in the personnel department.

FWIW, and this may not have translated well to Europeans, but that was a horsep0rn joke, not a fart joke imo. These are considered the heights of classy comedy on this side of the ocean, nothing like a fart joke.

Also note that RP is precisely the only political person having real content on Youtube.

Anyway I think RP gets busy with horses just to let off a little steam. If all we have for Ron Paul and his carefully thought out positions accumulated over a decade of reading dozens of books and thousands of articles by men of supreme character and intellect over the course of centuries, is derision? Well then why not **** a horse imo.

Nielso you need to get out more. Don't you live in Amsterdam? Go smoke some pot.

If you understood how people worked, you would understand that any publicity is good for Ron Paul. You seriously think people are going to be like "Oh man, RP, that guy ****s horses"? No. People will be like "ooh, hot secretary, I'm gonna go check out RPs YouTube video". The RP segment was actually the most flattering one, because in the rest of them Black is making fun of actual negative qualities.

This is the grown up equivalent of teasing a girl because you like her in 1st grade. Get with it.

lolz, wtf, this dude let the horse **** him!? Wait until Ron Paul gets a hold of this tape. Hopefully he's safe from the prying eyes of Youtube video makers when he's watching.
