Rand Paul says the stuff he said before is now off-limits

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Sorry Randy it doesn't work that way.

In two interviews, Rand Paul has declared that what Rand Paul used to say is now off-limits. It's not fair, Paul testily claims, to ask him about stuff that he said before he decided to be a presidential candidate. Because that was before, or "a long time ago." As long ago as 2009, when he was a Senate candidate.

Sean Hannity, not surprisingly, let him get away with it. On the previous Paul statement that the idea of Iran being a threat to the United States is "ridiculous":


"You know, things do change over time," Paul said. "I also wasn't campaigning for myself, I was campaigning to help my father at the time."

Hannity let that slide. He allowed Paul to frame his opposition to new sanctions that would scuttle the Iran negotiations as his way of telling Obama he'd "have to bring a deal back to" Congress.
