In desperate attempt to attract attention presidential candidate Rand Paul murders piles of paper with a chainsaw.

Courtesy of the Washington Post: 

The presidential candidate stands in the yard of his campaign headquarters, wearing blue jeans and a black and white T-shirt that reads “Detroit Republican.” Naturally, it’s Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.). 

“I’m trying to kill the tax code,” says Paul. “All 70,000 pages of it.” After asking voters to check out his tax plan – which would flatten the income tax to a universal rate of 14.5 percent, and replace payroll taxes with wage taxes – Paul subjects pages of the code to immolation, chainsawing, and Fargo-style woodchipping.

Pretty sure this is Donald Trumps fault. 

When you find yourself competing against a circus clown who is sucking up all of the attention, what choice do you have but to start throwing confetti and mooning the audience?

Personally I would have been far more interested in this commercial if Paul had ripped off that Jheri curl toupee of his, thrown it to the ground, and used the chainsaw to put it out of its misery.

But that's just me.
