Summary: <br> <br> It may be summer recess for the US Senate, but Rand Paul <br> continues to make the media rounds to support the relaunch of Government <br> Bullies- the paperback version of which was released earlier this month. <br> The Senator continues to be a prominent voice in the national dialogue, <br> weighing in prominently on foreign aid to Egypt reforming the mandatory nature <br> of the nation’s drug laws. The dust has begun to settle following the war of <br> words between Dr. Paul and Gov. Chris Christie, although the press is not <br> particularly interested in letting the issue go. Also, the Senator is receiving <br> scrutiny over his ongoing support for the reelection of Senate Majority Leader <br> Mitch McConell (R-KY). The alliance is arguably hypocritical for a man who rode <br> in on the 2010 tea party rebellion.
