Rand Paul's 2016 presidential campaign is not quite 24 hours old and it has already provided much grist for the mocking.

Courtesy of Huff Po:

Sen. Rand Paul's (R-Ky.) newly launched presidential campaign website, RandPaul.com, featured an unfortunate typo on its "education" issue page.

The spelling was corrected quickly Tuesday afternoon, as Paul was delivering his official presidential campaign announcement in Louisville, Kentucky. 

"I believe that education is the great equalizer, but too often our one-size-fits-all system leaves most kids behind. The Federal Government should not dictate what happens in our local classrooms. I believe we must abolish Common Core and give control back to the states, localities and parents," Paul says on the issue page.

You know the positive thing about the "one size fits all approach to education" is that it teaches people to spell "education" correctly.

But that was not all that the Paul campaign offered up to critics and late night comedians, and Jon Stewart did not waste a moment in taking advantage of that:

Along with taking forever to get to the announcement, there were a few weird moments, like when former congressman J.C. Watts (R-Okla.) slipped and said Paul would become “the next United States of America."

And of course, as many of you know, video of the announcement was pulled from YouTube because during it they played a country western song (Of course.) without permission.

If that were not enough he threw a total conniption during his first real honest to goodness interview with the MSM after  declaring his candidacy:

If Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) wants to be considered a serious presidential candidate, he's going to have to learn how to handle tough questions about his record without coming across as condescending. 

That much was clear on Wednesday, the morning after the Kentucky Republican announced his bid for the White House, when he tussled with NBC "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie over his past positions on Israel, Iran and the defense budget. 

"Why don't you let me explain instead of talking over me, OK?" Paul interjected, when Guthrie noted his shifting views. "Before we go through a litany of things you say I've changed on, why don't you ask me a question, 'Have I changed my opinion?' That would sort of be a better way to approach an interview." 

"No, no, no, no, no, listen, you're editorializing," he told Guthrie. 

Yeah it's always a good idea during an interview to explain to the journalist that they are conducting the interview incorrectly. That always comes off so well.

Now I knew that this campaign would eventually be FUBAR'd, but I have to admit that even I thought they might get through the first 24 hours without shooting themselves in the foot.

Nope.
