Paul Claims "No Memory" of Aqua Buddha

The Huffington Post reports:

Rand Paul continued to deny having any recollection of a purported college-aged incident in which the now-Kentucky GOP Senate candidate allegedly kidnapped a female classmate in a haze of marijuana smoke and forced her to bow down to his god, "Aqua Buddha."

Speaking with conservative radio show host and author Laura Ingraham on Wednesday, Paul maintained his ignorance of the ordeal and said that he didn't even remember the woman who has been at the foundation of the story.

"I wish I had a great story about it, I don't remember anything about the story," Paul told Ingraham Wednesday morning. "We were kind of nerds," Paul said, explaining his college demeanor.

The decades-old follies have been adopted by Paul's Democratic opponent, Jack Conway, as the basis of a controversial attack ad that calls on the Tea Party-backed candidate to explain the "Aqua Buddha" incident, as well as reports that he belonged to an anti-Christian parody group that frequently mocked Baylor University's Baptist roots.
