As a Wisconsin resident, I can attest that all of this just translates to, “Gee, I’ve seen you on the TV before. I wasn’t really paying attention to what you were saying, but you must be famous.”

Well, both Ryan and Walker have that smarmy dishonest smug politician look. I kinda confuse them too.

Ryan, they’re not mistaking you for A. Weiner; people are calling you a dick.

Let’s see if I got this right, they are mistaking a big prick (a person with a hard on trying to get laid) with a little prick (a person trying to rob them of their retirement savings and health care while destroying the schools for their children and cutting their wages),

I agree with the little prick, people should know the difference.

Skipping the obvious “because you’re a prick” commentary…

There’s an easy way to tell. Weiner is John Stewart’s friend. Paul Ryan is nobody’s friend.

Giving the benefit of the doubt to those folks, they may not have known his exact name but they just knew and were fully aware that he was creepy.

I am sure that offends the hell out of Mr. John Birch being called Mr. John Q. Public.

If Ryan is telling the story, never ever extend the benefit of doubt.

“You’re somebody famous, aren’t you? Are you Anthony Weiner?”

“No. But I am a dick, so I can see the confusion.”
