Kentucky Senator and person voted most likely to be part Chia Pet - Rand Paul - was one of 47 Republican senators to sign the recent and controversial Iran letter, a move which many experts have called unprecedented, adding that it could seriously damage Iran-U.S. negotiations over Iran's nuclear program. However, the giant Chia Pet doesn't see things that way. When speaking with SXSW in Austin, Texas on Sunday, he said the following on the matter:
"There's no one in Washington more against war and more for a negotiated deal than I am. But I want the negotiated deal to be a good deal. So my reason for signing onto the letter, I think it reiterates what is the actual law, that Congress will have to undo sanctions. But I also signed onto the letter because I want the president to negotiate from a position of strength which means that he needs to be telling them in Iran that 'I've got Congress to deal with.'"
Yes, it's Rand Paul's belief that by potentially destroying any negotiations President Obama has made with Iran to this point through the letter he and 46 other senators signed, in the end, it will only help the president with these very negotiations. Given his logic here (or lack there of), expect the Kentucky senator to make the following statements at some point in the future:
- "Yes, it's true, I did give my cousin some illegal drugs, but the only reason for that was to help him with his addiction so that he would stop doing drugs."
- "I may have said I want the death penalty abolished, but that's only because I want more dangerous criminals to be killed via the electric chair."
- "Sure, I've plagiarized here and there, but whenever I do that, it's just to show people I have thoughts and feelings of my own."
Yes, I'm starting to think that crazy hair has gone to his head, in more ways than one.
