Rand Paul Mocks Hillary: Has Moment of Silence for How Poor Her Finances Are

The National Journal reports:
Marshall County, Ky. – Sen. Rand Paul delivered an unusually harsh rebuke of Hillary Clinton in Kentucky on Friday night, declaring that his potential 2016 rival is not "fit to lead the country."

Paul, who is laying the groundwork to run for president in 2016, began his speech by mockingly saying he was losing sleep over Clinton's money woes. Clinton, who is far atop the polls among potential 2016 Democratic candidates, had said during her recent book tour that she and President Clinton left the White House "dead broke."

Paul facetiously asked the crowd to observe "a moment of silence" for her finances.

"Somebody must have been praying for her," the Republican said seconds later, "because she's now worth 100, 200 million. I tell you it was really tough giving those speeches."

At least, Paul jabbed, she didn't have to suffer alone: "She had her limo driver with her for the last 17 years to commiserate."
Is Rand Paul sending Bill and Hillary a message? Does Hillary want to explain why her and Bill have an "alternative style marriage"?
