The slow motion train wreck that is the Rand Paul presidential campaign is no less spectacular on its second day than it was on its first.

As we noted yesterday Paul's campaign came out of the gate like a drunken pinball crashing against the bumpers and triggering warning bells and flashing lights that were then eagerly reported by slack jawed journalists.

Well the campaign's second day was not any better.

Paul had already been accused of "mansplaining" and misogyny, due to his responses to female reporters. But as it turns out Paul is kind of a dick to ALL reporters, as demonstrated by his responses to a male AP reporter:

In an interview with The Associated Press on Wednesday, Paul would not say if his opposition to abortion rights includes an exception in cases of rape, incest or risk to the life of the mother. 

"The thing is about abortion — and about a lot of things — is that I think people get tied up in all these details of, sort of, you're this or this or that, or you're hard and fast (on) one thing or the other," Paul said. 

Yeah some people are so tied up in these details that they keep passing legislation that closes Planned Parenthood clinics and makes it criminal to get an abortion after 20 weeks at which time a pregnant woman is first able to get testing to determine if her fetus has any life threatening birth defects.

At one point Paul decides to outmaneuver the AP reporter:  

Paul grew testy when pressed in the interview on the question of exceptions. "I gave you about a five-minute answer. Put in my five-minute answer," he said. 

Later in the day, when asked after a campaign stop in Milford about the interview, which the Democratic National Committee had sent reporters, Paul said, "Why don't we ask the DNC: Is it OK to kill a 7-pound baby in the uterus?" 

"You go back and go ask (DNC head) Debbie Wasserman Schultz if she's OK with killing a 7-pound baby that's just not born yet," Paul said. "Ask her when life begins, and ask Debbie when she's willing to protect life. When you get an answer from Debbie, come back to me."

So the reporter DID ask Wasserman Schultz. And this is what she said:  

"I support letting women and their doctors make this decision without government getting involved. Period. End of story."

It does not appear that Paul directly responded to that statement, but in the remainder of his answers about abortion he suggested that human babies are way better than animal babies and that "something special is imbued into human life."

Of course for my money the really big elephant in any Rand Paul campaign room, is his past association with conspiracy nut Alex Jones:

Paul has credited Alex Jones, who heads conspiracy website Infowars.com and an eponymous radio program, for being a vital part of his 2010 Senate campaign. Jones endorsed Paul, turned out followers to his events, and partnered with Paul for fundraising, at one point crashing his website. Since Paul's election to the Senate, Jones has continued to serve as a key Paul booster, including endorsing him for 2016. 

Paul has been a longtime guest on The Alex Jones Show, originating from Jones' friendship with Rand's father, former Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX). Jones said last year he first interviewed Rand in 1996 and was "probably one of the first people to ever interview" him.

 Jones hosted Paul several times during his 2010 Senate race, telling listeners that he "can't stress enough how important this race for the Kentucky Senate is." Jones called Paul the "real McCoy" who will fight "against the New World Order" and "stop the thieving, stop the gang raping" in Washington. Jones said on his January 26, 2015, broadcast that he privately encouraged Paul to run for Senate.

If you think Paul gets a little testy while responding to questions about abortion, just wait until a reporter corners him concerning Alex Jones. 

And that is not the only scandal waiting in the wings either.

I swear I watching Rand Paul's campaign coming loose at the hinges almost makes me wonder if a Sarah Palin campaign could really do any worse?
