“I was still practicing medicine,” Paul responded. “That’s probably why I wasn’t a very good publisher, I had to make a living.”
“There are reports you made almost a million dollars off of them in 1993.” Borger noted.
“No, I’d like to see that money,” Paul responded. “
“Is it legitimate? Is it a legitimate question to ask that something went out in your name?” Borger continued.
“And when you get the answer, it’s legitimate you sort of take the answers you get. I didn’t write them. Didn’t read them at the time and I disavow them. That is your answer.”
“It’s legitimate, it’s legitimate. These things are pretty incendiary,” Borger pressed.
“Because of people like you,” Paul riffed.

“It seems like Ron Paul got tired of talking about it,” CNN’s Wolf Blitzer said.
“I did have to ask them. He clearly thinks its irrelevant.” Borger explained to Blitzer. “He thinks it’s been asked and answered…It’s clearly a question he’d rather not be asked.”
