According to the Washington Post's Reliable Source, Arlo Guthrie has endorsed Ron Paul for president. This bothers me. His reasoning, that Paul would have been the only candidate who would have signed the Constitution in 1787 is flat out ridiculous. (Although I can believe that Huckabee wouldn't have been willing to go along with the First Amendment). And this is simply a slap in the face to what his father, Woody, stood for. Woody Guthrie was a socialist and stalwart union supporter, who would have written songs decrying Paul's racist newsletters and libertarian economic policies. He would have supported either Obama or Edwards, out of the main candidates.
I've never considered Arlo to be the world's smartest guy, but I gave him more credit than this.
