Just when you though politics couldn’t get any weirder, the Aqua Buddha returns, in all his chubby, wet glory.

Actually, we have Jack Conway to thank for bringing back this very strange aspect of the very strange Rand Paul’s past.  First, here’s Conway’s latest ad:

Last night, the topic led off the debate between the two guys hoping to represent Kentucky in the US Senate… it was fireworks from the first word:

And poor, insulted “Dr.” Paul wouldn’t shake Attorney General Jack Conway’s hand at the end of it…

Yikes. Although my favorite line of the evening came from Conway, who said “I’m always amused to get a lesson about the Constitution from a self-certified opthamologist!” Just 15 days to go…

Down here in Florida, we also have our fair share of crazy, and one of the craziest is running for Congress against incumbent Ron Klein in the 22nd District… where I’m currently living! Not only is Allen West certifiable (he’s the one who claims to have a higher security clearance than President Obama), but now he seems to be using the Outlaws for security…

Joy-Ann Reid of The Reid Report will join me in the first hour of today’s show to talk about West and other Florida candidates and issues, as today marks the start of early voting here in the Sunshine state.

As always, we’ll start hour two with a news update from TRNS.  And since it’s Monday, Nicole Belle of Crooks & Liars joins in for “Fools on the Hill,” our weekly discussion about the Sunday talking head shows.
