Ryan should not have taken the job. Again, I say Ryan messed up good. He is falling into the same dark pit as Boehner. Soon, republicans are going to call him a republican in name only.

So…one smelled like gin and cigarettes while the other smells like Axe body spray.
The difference is what, exactly?

This, from NY Mag, on the avoided shutdown:
Several lawmakers seemed mystified by the idea that each side gave a little and got a little, otherwise known as a compromise. “A lot of us feel like we didn’t get things we wanted, but we got some stuff that we did want, and I think that’s going to be true on both sides,” Republican representative John Kline said. “This is divided government, and if you’re going to move forward and follow Speaker Ryan’s notion that we want to move onto offense next year … then I think many of my colleagues will look at it like I do — that we need to move past this, get this done, let’s put 2015 behind us and get on to 2016.”

Divided government?
I thought the GOTPers controlled both houses?

waiting for the obvious…
the new reality will be that the caucus revolts against Ryan…
new Speaker elected and hailed as uniter and savior…
new Speaker blames old Speaker for mess in order to get legislation passed…
rinse…
repeat as necessary…

Makes sense to throw out the Hastert Rule, since that’s what they did to Hastert himself.

Democrats? I need a cold shower…
This was actually published this morning…
Love his politics or hate him, many women—and surely some men—swoon over the dashing good looks of House Speaker Paul Ryan. What with those blue eyes, dark hair, and famous P90X abs…women went gaga, and men…Take a cue from our speaker and embrace your masculinity…Perhaps a lack of bearded House speakers recently is a hallmark of the obvious leadership dearth in Washington. Is Ryan mirroring with his physique his call for an end to comfy little bipartisan, nicey-nice business as usual

Except they’ll eventually run out of idiots whose ego tells them that THEY can be the chosen one.
That’s not a beard. That’s a five o clock shadow that has taken him three weeks to grow.

You really need to include a barf-bag with that sort of post.

I don’t get the whole "fly home on weekends to prove you’re not a DC whore/got family valuez’ schtick.
If you got family valuez you move the family to DC. You prove you aren’t a DC whore by the way you vote.

Which, in my mind, is a far better GOTP perception than that he’s some kind of grown-up genius in economics.
And so ends the Ryan speakership era. Next?
