Rand's filibuster to deny foreign aid wrong tack

Today's Herald-Leader includes this editorial:

Sen. Rand Paul must have missed the Libyans who were demonstrating last week in support of the United States.

Paul has lumped the governments of Libya, Egypt and Pakistan together as enemies of the U.S., and he's vowing to hold the Senate hostage until it votes on his plan to end aid to all three countries. (The rest of the Senate wants to approve funding to keep our government running and go home to campaign.)

Paul's antics must be wearing thin even on his filibuster-happy fellow Republicans.
