Looks like he tried to do damage control on his SOTU water drinking episode. See last paragraph of the following article:

http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/03/06/rand-paul-filibusters-brennan-nomination/

Yeah, he poked fun at himself and Rand laughed obligingly. That was about as memorable as he got. Lame.

He tried to make it partisan. Rand later denied that by trashing Dubya. Rubio was inconsequential.

He said Kleptocracy! On the Senate floor!

Ron Paul operated out of the public eye for decades -- and only grabbed attention in his later years, when it was easier for the establishment to trivialize him as a [insert insult here].

Rand Paul, though... this is putting him front and center at his prime (obviously, Ron helped him get here). And he's getting his message out to many, many people today. This is solid political gold.

The Young Turks is literally trying to deliver a pizza to Rand Paul on the Senate floor. #filibuster going for 9 hours now, must be hungry.

 

[Spoa]

We need to make this happen!!

Absolutely. Imagine if we had Brannon...he could join with Lee, Cruz, and others in standing with Rand.

Brannon needs to take advantage of this and attack Hagan on why she doesn't side with Rand.

Who is that Weinstein goof? So is he saying he supports the executive branch killing Americans without trial? How “progressive”.

Referencing Wired and Danger Room again. Heh.

Rubio tried to steal the spotlight, but at this point he was unmemorable. Honestly, Rand is about to bring me to tears.

Tell Mother Jones editor @AdamWeinstein what a lowlife slimeball he is: https://twitter.com/AdamWeinstein/st...64335078543360 … And cancel your MJ subscription if u have 1

Here are some despicable recent tweets from @AdamWeinstein:

@JustinRaimondo Hey, friend, you're really embarrassing yourself.

Adam Weinstein ‏@AdamWeinstein
Also, don't misunderstand Rand Paul: he's for domestic drone surveillance, confined strictly to uteruses.

Adam Weinstein ‏@AdamWeinstein
Perhaps somewhere in his filibuster, Rand Paul can compare US drone deaths to gun deaths of elementary schoolkids. #priorities

Adam Weinstein ‏@AdamWeinstein
@BlanksSlate @swin24 @dlind Oh, bullshit. Rand Paul cares more about drone fantasy abstractions than uteruses or gun deaths. #CivilRights

@AdamWeinstein Obama's drones are killing black, brown, and poor people including those with vaginas, you idiot. But u love that, right?

Rand is clearly getting tired.

He's a pawn for the Divide and Conquer Squad.

The more he whines about someone he doesn't agree with on the petty issues defending our civil and Constitutional rights, the more he needs to be slapped and asked, then where are your allies? Aren't liberals supposed to be in favor of civil and Constitutional rights? I don't see them defending individual rights; quite the opposite. All I see them doing is ensuring that all races have an equal right to be bombed to Hell in their beds at night.

That crap is so petty that it just makes Rand Paul look a bigger man for being the target of it.

I guess the progressives have had enough and have started a counter hashtag #WhyRepublicansNeedToGo . Man they're so pathetic.

FIGHT THEM RAND. FIGHT THEM. THIS IS GODDAMN BEAUTIFUL

CNN covering the filibuster now, giving glowing praise to Rand Paul

If you can't lick him, pretend like you were on his side the whole time.

 

[compromise]

Rand is clearly getting tired.

He won't stop though. Rand's determined to keep going after hearing he's blown up on Twitter from Cruz.

Rand is clearly getting tired.

Granted, he is tired. But, he has hit his second wind. This is the time when he knew most would be tuning in. I thought he was done hours ago. He is Rope-a doping.
