Remember some years back when everyone was griping about how passive, and declawed Harry Reid was as Senate Majority Leader? Yeah, how did that turn out? Reid almost single-handedly guided Obamacare to the President’s desk, and has deftly thrown pies in the faces of various GOPers just when it did them the most harm! The guy is a genius! Here, he is making the Republicans lives even more of a living hell by fully endorsing the one guy who MIGHT get them out of their own ditch, if even for 6 months! Now the TeaTards will NEVER allow Paul to be Speaker! Brilliant!

Paul Ryan is a BAD POLICY wonk. He has nothing but LOUSY ideas, and if he were able to make them laws, they would be disastrous! Why is he always thought of as some “idea man” when all he ever has is bad ideas?

TPM:
Reid told reporters Tuesday that he hoped Ryan was elected to the leadership position and went as far as to say he was a “fan” of the House Ways and Means chairman.
That’s brilliant. Would have been even better if Reid had added something like, “I would enjoy working with Ryan to solve America’s problems in the months ahead.”

A font of bad ideas is the GOP’s idea of a great idea man.

No, he plays at being one and the corporate media regurgitates this claimed affectation of his being one. At best he is a snake oil salesman.

Being a “wonk” would mean that you can keep policy information and positions in mind. He carries a binder that informs his position on any given subject.

Although I hate giving good advice to Republicans, here’s a tip:
If you’re planning to be Speaker of the House, you’d better collect good picture/video/text evidence of extra-marital philandering and/or (and/and?) illicit drug use by members of the “Free-dum Caucus”.
I’m sure a lot of that exists, if not, throw a big party with strippers and cocaine and invite them.
Blackmail will be the only potential way to contain them and have them follow instructions.

Sadly, his Buckit List didn’t come out to play until around when Obama’s Buckit List came out.
If they’d both had their FUCKIT (oops, meant Buckit!) List around a few years ago, think of just how much more they could have done.
Paul Ryan Economics 101: (*Actually his entire economic philosophy greedily lapped up by Lyin Ryan as it was dripping from crone Ayn Rand’s objectivist a-hole.) :
Problem: Giving more money to the rich didn’t work.
Solution: Give more money to the rich.
Ryan isn’t a “policy wonk” …the rat bastard is a Kochroach’ and crayon muncher.

So, do you think that Paul Ryan will go to Harry’s Facebook page and ‘like’ him? 
I mean… that is the least he could do.

In the vernacular of the base, Ryan can say ‘ayn rand for Speaker and they didn’t want me’.
Did he get it from Romney?

“If it helps him, fine. If it doesn’t, too bad.”
Some people call him former Senate Majority Leader
Some people call him a parliamentarian to fear
Some people call him Harr-EEE
Because he reaches out with spiked tentacles of sincere
GOPers still talk about him
Say he’s doin’ them wrong, doin’ them wrong
Well, don’t you all get bent out of shape, big babies
Don’t get bent
Cause he’s still right there, right there, right there on song
Yeah, he’s a wheeler
He’s a dealer
He’s a Democrat healer
And he’s mighty stiff
But he can stll riff
Playing politics in the sun
