Take that, Herman Cain! Ron Paul proposes $1 trillion in budget cuts.
(Read article summary)The Internet might be atwitter with theories about Ron Paul's eyebrows (seriously), but he rises above the fray to propose the mother of all budget cuts. Yes, that's $1 trillion in one year.
WASHINGTON
Will Ron Paul be wearing eyebrow toupees at tomorrow’s CNN political debate?
We ask this delicate question only because it came up following the most recent wrangle of GOP presidential candidates. Photos showed what appeared to be a false eyebrow, or perhaps a wooly bear caterpillar, drooping off one of Mr. Paul’s eyes.
If you really want to, you can view the incident in a Twitpic sent out by Jon Stewart – who, as we’ve previously noted, is something of a Ron Paul fan boy.
Now before we get too far into this, and angry Paulites crash our e-mail, jam our phones, and generally render moot our attempts at electronic interaction with the world, we’ll get to Paul’s new budget proposal in a moment.
We’re just getting the eyebrow thing out of the way first.
The Paul campaign thinks the wayward-brow stories are silly, of course. Campaign spokesman Jesse Benton has called the fake-brow theory “stupid” and “insulting.”
