Rand Paul's ditching the 'Southern Avenger' is too little, too late

From today's Courier-Journal:

Kentucky’s junior U.S. Sen. Rand Paul finally has shed himself of the “Southern Avenger.”

The Avenger, Sen. Paul explained, had become a “distraction.”

A “distraction?” Either Sen. Paul has developed new skills at understatement or he is stunningly clueless about what’s wrong with hiring Confederate sympathizer and former radio shock jock Jack Hunter as social media director.
