The budget debate is bringing out the best in some of our politicians. On Thursday, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) mocked members of the conservative grassroots movement as “tea-party hobbits.” Not to be outdone, freshman Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) told reporters: “I’d rather be a hobbit than a troll.”
Feeling the need to explain himself, Paul said: “I think in reading the books, the hobbits were the heroes. They overcame great obstacles, and I think I’d rather be a hobbit than a troll.”
Imagine what they say about President Obama.
