āI think I do it better,ā Ryan said.
What a pompous ass ā¦ itās not like his ābetternessā has gotten anything done.
He has done nothing more successfully than John Boehner. Literally. Heās done nothing, and Boehner was worse at doing nothing. Congrats on hitting that lowest of bars, Rep. Ryan.
Thatās really not a very high bar, Eddie.
The fact that you have to say that, Paul, indicates exactly the opposite. People who are good at their jobs donāt have to say, hey, Iām good at my job. The just DO the job.
In other words, while digging a hole Mr. Ryan piles up a heap of dirt. Admiring his work, he lays a bar on top of the pile and proclaims it a āJob well done.ā Obviously some sort of Leadership Award is in order. Maybe a āMission Accomplishedā banner.
āI spend more time with the (House) membersā¦ what iām trying to do is be responsible with the power that comes with the job and decentralize that power and make members more empowered.ā
I am sure Ryan also appreciates quality time with Gohmert and King. It trains him to keep a straight face in the face of utterly complete stupidity and helps him say shit like this with a complete poker face too.
Nobody sheds a tear like my old buddy John.
Yes, but instead of a flight suit he should wear a tank top muscle shirt and a shake weight in the vicinity of his face.
Indeed, he is more wank than wonk.
And when the shake weight session is complete ā¦ āHere is $223,500 for cab fare.ā
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAā¦whereās the budget you lying sack of crap?
āI spend my time whining at other guys in the gym, not hanging out on a bar stool. I donāt accomplish anything more, but I demand an A+ for effort.ā
Ryan:
āBecause I was a person that
wasnāt looking for this jobshamelessly betrayed Boehner behind his back, what Iām trying to do isbe responsibleKabuki dance with thepowerimpotent despair that comes with this job anddecentralize that powerappease the hostage takers whilemaking members more empoweredescaping with my life.ā
Fixed.
House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) boasted in a CNN interview published Thursday that he thought he does the job better than his predecessor, John Boehner (R-OH
ā¦
That remains to be seen , Paul.
Bless his little rancid GOPer heart
I donāt use tired metaphors like āherding cats,ā I use bold, market-oriented doublespeak like you hear in corporate boardrooms and for-profit business school classrooms. Iām not just failing my party, my caucus and the country, Iām synergizing my marketability across platforms by galvanizing my target audience and mximizing my market share, worthless as it may be. And besides, the ladies know Iām ā¦hot.
Miximizing?
Dang! I expand my vocabulary and improve my spelling every time I visit TPM.
Anything you can do, I can do better! I can do anything better than you!

With Boehner, at least you knew he wanted to do what he thought was right for the nation (whether you agree with what he thought was right is another matter), and that he was trying to keep the Tea Party from destroying it as much as he could. With Ryan, I get the feeling heās pretty much in it for himself and sees it as a stepping stone to the presidency. Boehner wouldnāt have allowed a total default, in spite of all the maneuvering by nuts in Congress to make one happen, while I think Ryan would go along with it.
With that in mind, if by ābetterā Ryan means āmaking sure the Democrats get nothing done, no matter the consequencesā, then yeah, he probably is doing it ābetterā. Of course, better means worse for the rest of us in this caseā¦
Ryan brags that he tries to āmake members more empowered.ā Apparently he doesnāt see the connection between empowering a bunch of anti-government fanatics and the inability to pass a budget.
