Ron Paul Gets Brutally Honest

There's candid, there's revealingly honest, and then there's too much information.  Pretty much everything out of Ron Paul's mouth goes into the third category.

In an interview from Las Vegas on Piers Morgan Tonight, Morgan asked whether as a man with daughters and granddaughters, Rep. Paul (R-TX) thinks that abortion is warranted if a woman has been impregnated by a rapist.

“If it’s an honest rape,” Paul replied, “that individual should go immediately to the emergency room, I would give them a shot of estrogen.” He claimed, however, that if a woman is “seven months pregnant” and says that she was raped, “It’s a little bit of a different story.”

The candidate was not forthcoming as to precisely how the “story” is different or what constitutes an “honest rape” versus a dishonest one.

Given Ron Paul's known views on social issues from his newsletter, my immediate thought is that Paul meant "honest rape" as "physically against the woman's will as part of a brutal crime, probably committed by a slope-brow minority" as opposed to a dishonest one, which is "she really meant yes all along, the bitch."

Not sure which is worse.  I am sure that Ron Paul is arguably one of the least deserving human beings on earth to have a leadership position in US politics.
