Report: Rand Paul Was A Badly Behaved Frat Boy, Tied Girl Up, Tried To Force Her To Smoke Pot
Rand Paul may belong to the last generation of politicians who have to be worried about their college transgressions. By the time the current generation starts running for office every stupid thing they’ve ever done will have been documented on Facebook in such detail they will cease to have meaning.
In the meantime, a new GQ profile on Rand Paul may prove to be disruptive to his current campaign for Senate. The profile digs into Pauls’ college past following reports last week that he had lied about his undergraduate degree and was actually a college drop-out. Turns out he hadn’t lied, and that he’s always been careful to say he “attended” Baylor not “graduated from” and that “after taking the MCAT and scoring high enough to gain admission to Duke Medical School” he left to do just that. Juicy stuff to be sure. However it’s this anecdote about his time in a secret (possibly liberal!) society called the NoZe Brotherhood that he may have to be concerned about.
The strangest episode of Paul’s time at Baylor occurred one afternoon in 1983 (although memories about all of these events are understandably a bit hazy, so the date might be slightly off), when he and a NoZe brother paid a visit to a female student who was one of Paul’s teammates on the Baylor swim team. According to this woman, who requested anonymity because of her current job as a clinical psychologist, “He and Randy came to my house, they knocked on my door, and then they blindfolded me, tied me up, and put me in their car. They took me to their apartment and tried to force me to take bong hits. They’d been smoking pot.” After the woman refused to smoke with them, Paul and his friend put her back in their car and drove to the countryside outside of Waco, where they stopped near a creek. “They told me their god was ‘Aqua Buddha’ and that I needed to bow down and worship him,” the woman recalls. “They blindfolded me and made me bow down to ‘Aqua Buddha’ in the creek. I had to say, ‘I worship you Aqua Buddha, I worship you.’ At Baylor, there were people actively going around trying to save you and we had to go to chapel, so worshiping idols was a big no-no.”
The woman is question sounds more puzzled by the incident 30 years on than traumatized: “They never hurt me, they never did anything wrong, but the whole thing was kind of sadistic. They were messing with my mind. It was some kind of joke.”
Regardless, it makes for an interesting line of questioning and probably opens the door to a whole slew of college anecdotes Rand might prefer to be left “secret.” Ben Smith thinks it’s “a bit too big a deal to be left in its ether of anonymity and non-denial.” Though that’s all he continues to get from Rand’s spokesperson. Perhaps we can look forward to a CGI version at some point in the future.
