GQ Announces Men of the Year ( Ron Paul in it)

Oooo, nice! I hope it's a good article. I might even buy my first copy of GQ.

Whipping westward across Manhattan in a limousine sent by Comedy Central’s “Daily Show,” Ron Paul, the 10-term Texas congressman and long-shot Republican presidential candidate, is being briefed. Paul has only the most tenuous familiarity with Comedy Central. He has never heard of “The Daily Show.” His press secretary, Jesse Benton, is trying to explain who its host, Jon Stewart, is. “He’s an affable gentleman,” Benton says, “and he’s very smart. What I’m getting from the pre-interview is, he’s sympathetic.”

Paul nods.

“GQ wants to profile you on Thursday,” Benton continues. “I think it’s worth doing.”

“GTU?” the candidate replies.

“GQ. It’s a men’s magazine.”

“Don’t know much about that,” Paul says.

I love the fact that Ron Paul is completely out of touch with popculture.

I love the fact that he is so freaking honest. Any other candidate would have NEVER said something like that in fear of being seen as 'out of touch' and losing some votes. Just makes me feel better and better about supporting him and donating my hard earned money. I really don't give a crap if the president knows who Lindsay Lohan is or if he has seen South Park.
