Texan Not Leading the Way

But staying in the race. He's also the first man ever to see my sister-in-law naked, but that's another story.

Star-Telegram.com: | 02/06/2008 | 'Message' candidate doesn't plan to drop out: "One month into the 2008 presidential primaries, Texan Ron Paul has outlasted a half-dozen other GOP hopefuls.

The 72-year-old doctor-turned-politician says he has no plans to quit no matter how everything shakes out today after the Super Tuesday votes are counted."

Dr. Paul is an ob/gyn. That's a clue,

That last comment has really iinfuriated me. The nerve. The audacity. "Small kitten." Indeed. As if there's some other kind.

Men like to think women are naked at an ob-gyn, but actually they are draped in a sexless white robe. they managed to never quite see you naked, just embarrassed. It's all pretty dreadful and I don't know how doctors could fall in love with their patients or vice versa.

Patti, Bill's referring to the Ob part of Ob/Gyn.

He might well've been the first person to see Bill's SIL at all, assuming the nurse(s) was/were attending to other business, but it's Naughtier Bill's way.

Medicine as a profession, I've gathered at close second-hand, both is and definitely isn't a turn-on...the proximity of death probably helps both ways. (Human medicine. Veterinary medicine, which my first ex studied for a while, tends just to make one a bit sad.)

Considering both Paul's straddling (you should forgive the verb) of paleoconservative and liberarian camps, it's somewhat unsurprising a lot of voters aren't too keen on Ron (though the shunning of him by the "news" folk isn't helpful, except to their budgets), though he did do pretty well in some of the western-state caucuses yesterday...he was giving Romney a run for the money in Montana.

Likewise, Mike Gravel, completely denied by the "news" folk and polling dismally, trudges on...and Ralph Nader is testing the waters again, though his skittishness about the Greens is likely to grow stronger, as they are apparently likely to put up Cynthia McKinney for President this time around. I suspect she will not be willing to cede him Any Green ballot lines.

And for the curious, my sister-in-law made that joke. I just stole it.

And, as patients, as we XYs get ever more accustomed, if that's le mot juste, to the prostate exam, Patti, our sympathy for the unfun nature of the gynological exam tends to grow, I suspect.

Libertarian is what I meant, btw, if anyone was confused...and that both was meant to refer to both Paul's straddling the not quite congruent camps and the hostility of particularly well-paid establismentarian reporters and their bosses to anyone who suggests that the Establishment is in any serious, basic way flawed.

Would that Blogger allowed revisions on comments.

Such as for gynecological and establishmentarian. I can spell (sometimes), just can't see or type.

And, apparently, Bloomberg is still mulling a run, too.
