Willie Or Won’t He Attend?

Fascinating to see Ron Paul’s campaign soliciting Willie Nelson’s help for events surrounding the Republican convention:

Paul is planning a one-day shadow convention that could be the wildest party of the entire week. Especially if a certain famous long-haired, bandanna-wearing, pot-smoking, libertarian-leaning country star accepts Paul’s invitation to perform.

Yes, Willie Nelson.

The Paul campaign, which has morphed into a grass-roots movement called the Campaign for Liberty, is on pins and needles awaiting Nelson’s response. “We would be thrilled if Willie Nelson could come, and he has an open invitation to join us,” says Paul spokesman Jesse Benton.

Seems to be a match made in heaven.

Whether it’s their joint antipathy toward the IRS …

… or their mutual feelings toward American foreign policy.
