Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) won applause from the Senate gallery, both sides of the political aisle, and from far-off quarters here at home and around the world late tonight after ending his filibuster of President Obama’s CIA director nominee John Brennan over White House drone policy.
Sen. Paul joked that he had to break the filibuster because he needed to “pee:”
Is it awkward that we all know Sen Rand Paul is having the best pee ever right now? #FinalQuestion—

Tuned in just in time to hear Rand Paul end his filibuster. It was not as climactic a finish as I'd hoped, but at least he made a pee joke.—
