RuPaul explained to POLITICO “I’m going to N.H. on a mission to spread love and set the record straight: contrary to recent reports, I am NOT Ron Paul. And I am not running for president of the United States. I hope to meet Ron Paul in person so we can be seen together to put the rumors to rest once and for all.

Of course this is great timing for the world’s first drag queen Super Model – Ru Paul’s Drag Race premieres season 4 on LOGO January 30.
