The quest continues!
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) continued his two-day journey to get a glimpse at or a copy of the House GOP’s Obamacare repeal bill Friday, that was supposedly kept under lock and key in a secure basement a day earlier.
Paul posted a tweet-storm about his adventures with a copy machine (named @randpaulcopier, complete with its own Twitter account) around D.C. to try and get a copy of the bill.

They found mock signs.
This is harder than it should be. But wait. I think someone left us a hint! pic.twitter.com/dxx27kjxPM

Passed people planting trees.
They went outside and thought maybe this guy was helping House leaders hide it. But nope. pic.twitter.com/A06RoOG0pC

And even went to the Supreme Court.
Maybe it’s over there with the Justices for safe keeping? pic.twitter.com/CXEWPW9BPo

Paul also pointed out a Politico report that apparently had more info than he did about what was contained in the bill. He tweeted at the reporter Paul Demko and asked if he could get a copy of the bill.
Oh look. @politico has more details on the House Obamacare Lite plan. Hey @pauldemko can I get a copy?

Paul had spent much of the day on Thursday attempting to get a copy of the bill and was reportedly turned away from the room where it was kept.
If the Republicans weren’t all such jerks and the subject matter weren’t so serious, one could appreciate the humor in Rand Paul’s “skit.”
What’s the problem? House GOPers passed at least sixty repeal bills. There must be one laying around somewhere. . . . . . Oh wait, Rand thinks there may be one that is actually rational. Sorry Rand, but you are in the wrong party if you’re looking for coherence and rationality.
Have you checked behind your humanity?
Hah, trick question - you have none.
Even if he finds a copy, can he read Russian?
I think they gave it to Congressman Godot.
