I’m no fan of Ron Paul, but his local supporters have hit on an ingenious way to welcome Rudy Giuliani to Austin for a fundraiser today: they’ve recruited local “eccentric” Leslie Cochran to try and meet Giuliani, and urge him to hew to his cross-dressing past:
Ron Paul Revolution members have invited Leslie to join a Texas Ron Paul greeting for Rudy Giuliani this Friday evening.
“To our knowledge, no candidate has yet reached out to the ‘cross dresser’ vote, and we’re curious to see whether Leslie is convinced that Rudy properly A-dresses this issue”, quipped RPR volunteer Pam Farley. At press release time, no one had yet purchased a Leslie cross-dressing refrigerator magnet for Rudy as a Texas gift.
WHEN: Friday, Oct. 26, 5:30pm
WHERE: Corner of Stratford Dr. and above Stratford Place (see map link)
WHAT: Ron Paul Revolution welcome for Rudy, with special guest Leslie.
WHY: To welcome Rudy to Texas’ own Ron Paul country.
Giuliani, Leslie, and Ron Paul? If this doesn’t constitute the perfect storm of nuttiness (Norman Podhoretz in fishnets excepted), what will?
