Allahpundit over at HotAir characterizes Rep. Ron Paul as a “useful idiot” because Paul said on CNN: “They’re terrorists because we’re occupiers!” regarding the attempted Christmas Day jihadi airline bombing.

Useful? Nope. I don't think he's useful to anyone.

Idiot? Check.

For the record, Allahpundit notes that Paul also has his facts wrong. According to an ABC News report, the terrorist had purchased his ticket before our airstrike on terrorists in Yemen.
