Rand Paul "Kidnapped" Girl, Tried to Force "Bong Hits" On Her...

You can't make this stuff up! Below is an excerpt from a GQ article about "Rand Paul's kooky college days": The strangest episode of Paul's time at Baylor occurred one afternoon in 1983 (although memories about all of these events are understandably a bit hazy, so the date might be slightly off), when he and a NoZe brother paid a visit to a female student who was one of Paul's teammates on the Baylor swim team. According to this woman, who requested anonymity because of her current job as a clinical psychologist, "He and Randy came to my house, they knocked on my door, and then they blindfolded me, tied me up, and put me in their car. They took me to their apartment and tried to force me to take bong hits. They'd been smoking pot." After the woman refused to smoke with them, Paul and his friend put her back in their car and drove to the countryside outside of Waco, where they stopped near a creek. "They told me their god was 'Aqua Buddha' and that I needed to bow down and worship him," the woman recalls. "They blindfolded me and made me bow down to 'Aqua Buddha' in the creek. I had to say, 'I worship you Aqua Buddha, I worship you.' At Baylor, there were people actively going around trying to save you and we had to go to chapel, so worshiping idols was a big no-no." Nearly 30 years later, the woman is still trying to make sense of that afternoon. "They never hurt me, they never did anything wrong, but the whole thing was kind of sadistic. They were messing with my mind. It was some kind of joke." She hadn't actually realized that Paul wound up leaving Baylor early. "I just know I never saw Randy after that—for understandable reasons, I think."

UPDATE: Benton repeated his non-denial to me in an e-mail, adding: "We'll leave National Enquirer-type stories about his teenage years to the tabloids where they belong." : http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0810/Charge_Rand_Paul_kidnapped_teammate_tried_to_force_her_to_take_bong_hits.html Any thoughts? Can you imagine Rand Paul belonging to a liberal "secret society" or do you believe his spokesman who said he had been a member of the Young Conservatives while at Baylor? It's interesting that the Paul camp hasn't confirmed nor denied this story. Annie
