The Libertarian Party…

02Jun08

an enduring source of hilarity.

Reading through The Economist from a few weeks back, I saw this snippet in their profile of the LP’s presidential candidate, Bob Barr:

His moralistic fervour faltered only when it came to his own conduct: twice divorced, he was once photographed licking whipped cream off the breasts of a particularly buxom woman. He says he was raising money for leukaemia research. (Well, he would, wouldn’t he?)

I suppose it’s better than turning your entire body blue by drinking a homemade panacea made of silver.  But here’s to you, Libertarian Party.  Thanks for lowering the bar for political scandal and degradation.
