Over the weekend, Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky was attacked by a neighbor. Not only did Paul catch five cracked ribs, it turns out the proper fade delivery was due to shrubbery.
Again, it wasn’t because Rand Paul is a thorn in the side of Democrats, liberals and even his own party, it was over his lawn.
Reports the Daily Mail:
The attack by a neighbor who tackled Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul while he was mowing the lawn was just a garden-variety dispute over shrubbery, according to an astonishing new report.
Paul’s neighbor got arrested after he allegedly assaulted the Senator while he was mowing the lawn of his Kentucky home – in an attack that left Paul with five broken ribs and potentially missing key Senate votes.
The attorney for the next-door neighbor who attacked Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul causing the senator to break ribs and potentially miss key votes said it had ‘absolutely nothing’ to do with politics – and was over a ‘trivial’ matter. But he failed to specify what the fight was about.
A D.C.-based New York Times reporter has dug up just how trivial it was, posting on Twitter that the problem between neighbors ‘stemmed from a dispute over ‘some sort of planting or flora issue around the properties.’
That’s right, Paul caught the universal fade over lawn care.
You can’t make this stuff up.
