Rand Paul: You Can Catch Ebola At A Cocktail Party
Rand Paul, the eye doctor turned Republican Kentucky Senator, weighed in on the Ebola virus, which is like going to a foot doctor when you have stomach pains.
[su_center_ad]“[The Obama administration] has downplayed how transmissible it is,” Paul told CNN on Thursday morning. “They say it’s the exchange of bodily of fluids. Which makes people think, ‘Oh, it’s like AIDS. It’s very difficult to catch.'”
“If someone has Ebola at a cocktail party they’re contagious and you can catch it from them,” Paul continued. “[The administration] should be honest about that.”
Rand Paul tells me Ebola more transmitable than AIDS. “If someone has Ebola at a cocktail party, they’re contagious and you can catch it.”

A Twitter user weighs in:
@KilloughCNN@BKcolin Note to avoid Ebola. If guest at cocktail party is bleeding from their gums, nose etc do not kiss them. Solved.

I think you’re safe, Rand.
So far every case of Ebola in this country got it by helping people. So relax, Republicans, you’re in the clear.

Unless you’re swapping fluids with someone at a party – someone who has cared for an Ebola patient – then you’re safe. Ebola is not spread through the air like the flu. Oh, won’t flu season be fun this year with Ebola hysteria on the rise? One has to wonder what kind of fluid-swapping parties Rand Paul attends. [su_csky_ad]

Yet he believes he can be President? What a joke!

If Rand Paul was ever medically certified by anyone other than himself, he’d loose Board Certification and be as professionally uninsurable as ‘early retired’ Ben Carson is.

Not sure the kind of cocktail weenies rand paul enjoys but the kind I put in my mouth are ebola free.

Cocktail weenies…for a moment I thought you were referring to the manhood of open carry texas…

I miss the day of keggers where all you could get was crabs, now today we have “cocktail parties” and Ebola.
tiredoftea October 17th, 2014 at 12:24 am
But, you might still get crabs from Randy, and other Republicans.
neworleans878 October 17th, 2014 at 12:29 am
Like several have said above, ya certainly can catch the stupids!

This cavalcade of stupidity is brought to you by the same wacky crew that says 90% of scientists are wrong and climate change is a hoax.
If your opinions on issues related to science are based on the pronouncements of this group, you are even dumber than they are.

The problem.
granpa.usthai October 16th, 2014 at 10:34 pm
those are just Republicans claiming to be scientists.
William October 16th, 2014 at 9:39 pm
Not the dumbest thing he ever said, but it’s in the top ten.
granpa.usthai October 16th, 2014 at 10:40 pm
it’s people like this that you love seeing the boss walk up to and say
“U R FIRED!”
granpa.usthai October 16th, 2014 at 10:31 pm
I was told it was due to MASTURBATION! Got to be something to it, ’cause my eyesight has actually been improving over the years (probably due to dramatic decrease of MASTURBATION)? So, if MASTURBATION really is a cause of poor eyesight, then I reckon Ebola would be too?
granpa.usthai October 16th, 2014 at 10:39 pm
PLUS:
you can catch stupid just by standing in front of a mirror and say ‘I’m a Republican’ 60 times 66 times in a row.

The nuns in grade school told me you can go blind from masturbating, but they didn’t say the reverse was true once you stopped. Boy, live and learn huh.
burqa October 16th, 2014 at 11:12 pm
I don’t care, just as long as I can’t catch conservatism at a cocktail party….
greenfloyd October 16th, 2014 at 11:15 pm
Best Ebola one-liner yet:
At a close second, my favorite barista passed this along today, “Want to hear an Ebola joke?” … (dramatic pause) … you probably wouldn’t get it.”
Tommy6860 October 16th, 2014 at 11:23 pm
How many cocktails parties will he host or attend for his candidacy for president?
greenfloyd October 17th, 2014 at 12:02 am
Not sure about actual number. However you can bet it will be in direct proportion to how many Ebola cases emerge out of this misguided “no ban” mentality Obama clings to.
tiredoftea October 17th, 2014 at 12:27 am
His Murdoch University degree is showing.
neworleans878 October 17th, 2014 at 12:32 am
For a moment I thought you said Morlock University…my bad…but the same thing, right?
tiredoftea October 17th, 2014 at 12:35 am
No, Morlock is certified.
neworleans878 October 17th, 2014 at 12:52 am
Graduates and their followers are certainly certifiable…
Haruko Haruhara October 17th, 2014 at 1:55 am
Three people out of 300 million catch Ebola, every Republican goes insane.
Herb Sarge Phelps October 17th, 2014 at 4:45 am
Ok Rand you better go hide under your bed and quit this silly idea of running for President and also being a Senator. The risk are high you might turn up at a cocktail party and then get Ebola, or go to Pat Robertson’s house and get AIDS from his toilet seat.
Now does Libertarians seem to be friends of Liberals? I sure never thought they were.
Shades October 17th, 2014 at 6:17 am
Is that like a chickenpox party?
Budda October 17th, 2014 at 7:45 am
Republicans and conservatives live in and on fear and hate. Fear in this case.
eyelashviper October 17th, 2014 at 10:55 am
Gotta make you wonder what Rand Paul does at cocktail parties…..exchanging body fluids???
Bunya October 17th, 2014 at 4:06 pm
This sounds suspiciously like “Green Eggs and Ham”
You can catch it on a plane
You can catch it on a train
You can catch it with a fox
You can catch it in a box
You can catch ebola, man
You can catch it, Sam I Am
