"This week, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul performed a full Bachmann, with a Lazio twist (Rick Lazio, the New York congressman whose 2000 Senate campaign against Hillary Clinton foundered after an overaggressive debate performance).

Paul proved that a medical degree provides no inoculation against scientific illiteracy, suggesting that vaccines could cause "profound mental disorders." And he made Lazio look, well, gentlemanly, instructing CNBC's Kelly Evans to "calm down a bit here, Kelly" and, finger to lips, shushing her in midsentence during a discussion on tax policy."

Let's see, self important writer, or medical doctor, who do you believe. She seems to have been drinking the progressive cool aid and its gone to her head. It is an affliction that is romping through the main stream media soon to cause a general bankruptcy of ideas.

What could she know of scientific thought? Only through listening to others. And her others are like minded, and as weak minded as she.

Dr Paul's offense? Trying to keep Kelly Evans, from making a fool of herself.
