In an interview with the Washington Post yesterday, former Ron Paul economic adviser Peter Schiff, who is now running as a Republican for Connecticut's U.S. Senate seat, feigned modesty when asked about his candidacy, saying that he wasn't "heroic" for running for office. However, he then compared himself to the heroes who fought in World War II against Nazi Germany:
I'm interrupting my career. It's not like I want my new career in politics. But I'm willing to interrupt it the same way that somebody interrupted their career and joined World War II and went off to fight the Nazis.
Schiff added that he doesn't think he's "that heroic" and admitted he's not "risking as much as a soldier." "But it's the same principle," he added.
