Two Peas in a Pod
Just in case you were wondering where Paul Ryan’s values are …
He donated to the Tom DeLay legal defense fund.
Yeah, he thinks that Tom DeLay is as innocent as Little Red Riding Hood. Twelve citizens on a Travis County jury disagree and so does the Republican judge who heard the case and sentenced him.
Ring! Ring! Hey Paul, Dancing with the Stars on line two in case this whole Vice President thing doesn’t work out.
Thanks to Brian for the heads up.
OMG. I got a brilliant idea while watching a cat litter commercial. Its the one that has all those little green cardboard trees hanging from the ceiling cause the people have a stinky litterbox. There’s something pretty stinky about R&R too. Wave them in front of all repubs! Send them to their offices! PLEASE send them to Faux news. AND you know how protest signs are banned just about everywhere? Wear one as jewelry and then just wave your hand every time you hear the words MEDICARE!
1Can’t Ryan the goobermensch somehow be persuaded to go sulk in his tent in Galt’s Gulch and leave the rest of us decent people the hell alone?
2More like two slugs in a vegetable garden.
3Lynn, the thing to do with slugs is to sprinkle salt on them. Works for demonic attachments, too, as long as it’s real sea salt.
4Anyone who tells you that the Ryan pick is a fresh, bold move, breathtaking in its audicity and a real attention-getting game-changer, tell them so is bringing your pig into Church and letting him crap there.
And it smells the same, too.
Here’s the bottom line: you only pull a game changer when you’re losing. Despite being much dumber than he looks and/or people give him credit for, all Romney had to do is look at Intrade and realize that he’s in the exact position as any of the companies he’s plundered in the past.
If he were investing in his own campaign, he’d buy it cheap, load it up with debt, extract every dollar he could from it, then walk away – kinda like Newt Gingrich did.
Hitting Obama on the economy wasn’t winning. Foreign faux pas were not helping. Dodging the tax return collectors was not working. Selecting a pale imitation of himself, who is already a pale imitation of a man, was hardly going to move the dials in ANY direction.
So Romney went out and got himself a pig.
And this one doesn’t even have lipstick.
Here’s what’s going to happen: the Roiling Right will have a week-long joy-gasm, while the Left shouts all of Ryan’s many, many shortcomings from the rooftops.
Then they will all converge on Tampa Bay except for anyone named Bush or Palin.
Then the Dems and the President will have their turn.
And one month from now, Ryan will be a footnote, Mitt will still be ducking tax questions, more Bain deviltry will have come out, the first “Mitt vs Mitt in his own words” commercials will air, and Obama’s lead will be even bigger.
All that’s changed is we now know who the new GOP frontrunner to lose to Hillary in 2016 is.
5@daChipster: From your mouth to God’s ear. Just sayin’.
6Amen,dChip. However, the group that wants to place Ryan in the race for 2016 – those that have already given up on
7Romoney, need to have Ryans ideas displayed. So don’t let anyone put lipstick on that pig.
