But what about Ron?

Ron Paul, the would be nominee for the Republican nomination in the quest for the Presidency, and who  seemingly is being shunned by the Republican Party of late, may have found an unlikely ally in the form of comedian and commentator Jon Stewart.

The Comedy Central host of the Daily Show, provided a pretty succinct review of the apparent disrespect that Republicans and the American media seem to be giving to the  Texas congressman who has served some twelve terms in the US capital.

The fellow who some suggest was the lynch pin of Tea Party talking points, long before the likes of Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann came along, is certainly having a problem getting any traction in his bid for the Republican nomination.

The mysterious case of the missing Mr. Paul has received a bit of attention in the wake of the Stewart item, with the New York Times picking up the scent of a potential political story in the making.

The Boston Globe offers up some thoughts, as does CBS News and even Time magazine weighs in with some ideas on the kerfuffle.

The Guardian from the UK, also profiled his media troubles of late bringing some international attention to the missing message of the Paul candidacy.

But by far, the whole snowball started rolling with the help of the Daily Show, surely a helpful hand that will provide for a guest appearance in the near future, a possible exchange of thoughts and ideas that would make for some fascinating political (and perhaps comedic) television.

If nothing else, it should offer up a segment for John Hodgman's Your Welcome appearances on the Daily Show.
