Ayn Rand: Not Only a Complete Nutjob, But a Hypocrite to Boot

Noted hater of social services Ayn Rand supposedly collected government assistance to treat her lung cancer under her married name.  This was a decidedly delightful piece of gossip to wake up to this morning.

She liked speed too.  Look at her!  She looks like a gorram meth freak!  Why did people listen to this cooter?

"An interview with Evva Pryror, a social worker and consultant to Miss Rand's law firm of Ernst, Cane, Gitlin and Winick verified that on Miss Rand's behalf she secured Rand's Social Security and Medicare payments which Ayn received under the name of Ann O'Connor (husband Frank O'Connor)."

It's funny how libertarians and Tea Party whackos will talk shit about social programs until they need them.  I think that we need another government assistance program-- a subsidy to educate people on how to pronounce this bitch's name.  Ayn?  What kind of name is that?
