On "Meet the Press" this morning, Tim Russert did not expose Ron Paul as a fool. Rather, he asked the questions that let Paul expose himself -- as I predicted he would. Russert called Paul on his tax policy, and asked him how much revenue would be lost. He asked Paul how much money would be saved if he withdrew troops from Europe and the Far East. In each case, Paul admitted he didn't know. He acted as though he didn't care if North Korea invaded South Korea. Russert called Paul on his lie that he never supported abolishing public schools. Russert proved Paul a hypocrite on pork, as he'd earmarked big-time for his district; and on term limits, which this 10-term Congressman had campaigned on. Paul's own words made him look completely ridiculous. How can anybody who saw this man, exposed as not having a clue on economic or foreign policy, still support him? Can we now close the book on the Paul legend?
