Not as much fun as Ryan will have debating Biden or whoever Obama picks as a substitute.

harrogate said...

See, now this is the kind of stuff that is important! It'll be fun!

A tad off topic, but can someone tell why the scheduled debates are never on Fox? Why the Moderators are always liberals? Why the Republicans don't say it's unacceptable there is no balance; why they have no say in this at all?
And Jana is smart not to speak if she can avoid it, the press will just try to trap her in some way.

Waiting for Michelle Goldberg to spew her brand of loathsome vile on Janna Ryan. We know it's coming.

They used to be on Fox. Last time around Obama had a panty-twist and refused to appear on Fox in any debate.

Republican candidates, however, are more mature than that.

I'm oddly happy about lefty attempts to use the same old tactics. It's so tired and phony and increasingly inept and obvious. It's exhilarating in a way.

Synova said...

The idea of course was this... in order to PROVE that Fox was a biased bunch of lying liars, the words had to be backed up with deeds, or someone might suspect that it was all campaign rhetoric.

Thus Obama's grand gesture and refusal to appear in any Fox Network sponsored debate.

Of course, his people applauded his *spine* while the rest of us knew it meant he was to scared to ever face someone not his partisan.

Time has shown what is true and Obama now avoids all the press as much as he possibly can.

Synova said...

Curiously, Palin appeared in any number of hostile venues (Saturday Night Live twice). Oprah, who had interviewed Obama and Michelle, refused to have Palin on her show and made some excuse, though Palin wanted to go.

Somehow it's only Obama who can't and won't talk to the other side.

The MSM and the left is way overdue for the equivalent of a televised Joe McCarthy moment. It'll have to be unscripted though so Joe Biden seems a perfect candidate. Another Dan Rather moment would be fun to see happen too.

"You know, he’s pretty low-maintenance.."

Isn't that a no no... when said about a wife.. Say, Ryan, about his wife?

Maybe now that marriage has evolved.. its ok now to say something like that.

One more Obama accomplishment.

I seem to recall a televised moment when Palin and Oprah met and exchanged remarks about hair. Because Palin's remark came after Oprah's, Palin totally got the better remark.

Ryan joked during a speech in Oklahoma that he and the family visit “three times a year — deer season, duck season and turkey season.” For some reason, he said, “Janna refers to our visits as Christmas, Easter and Thanksgiving.”

Ha ha ha good one. It's like Janna isn't getting it or something, the woman is confused.

God, it sounds like a christiansingles.com dating profile. Up until that last sentence. Then it kind of moves into craigslist territory.

Carnifex said...

Did Palin say she could see Oprahs head from Zeros colon. Otherwise ...meh.

I assume everyone saw where Zero floated the idea that Moochie should be paid. The millions of dollars wasted on vacations aren't enough appaently. Surprisingly, I am for this. If only to drive home to the deadheads like Shiloh how totally contemptable Zero and his family is. "Hey Wookie...Ah.. I mean Michelle. Let's loot the treasury some more.""I don' know playa'. Is dey anything left in dat bitch?""If there isn't...ah...errr... we can have Timmy...ahh...print us up some...ahhh.""She-it. Got's ta get dat' green, nickah!"

Only 17 comments!!!!

Obviously Ryan isn't anywhere near Palinpalooza.

In fact some of the 17 are devoted to Palin!

Poor PBJ defines sophomoric irony and is too stupid to understand his feat.

What a hilarious moron, though.

yashu said...

Judging just from the last 2 days, Ryan's already made a very visible difference in Romney's demeanor, energy, attitude. Romney's speaking with a passion now we hadn't really seen before. Cf. how he dealt with that heckler.

So I'd say Ryan's an excellent influence on Mitt.

yashu said...

If he was more than just a pathetic heckler, I'd direct pbj to the multiple Ryan posts over the weekend which attracted just under 200, 200+, and even 400+ comments.

Seven Machos said...

PBJ wants to talk about Palin. Too funny.

Let's talk about Carter, McGovern, and Ferraro, too.

Carnifex said...

@7M

At least Carter was prez. More like he wants to talk about Gore/Edwards/Ferraro.

So lets talk...

Did you know AlGore was responsible for killing man/bear/pig? He was also the founder of the internet.(to this day I think he meant to say that he had found the internet)

And Edwards...ahhh the silky pony hair. The affair while his wife is dying of cancer. His cxhanneling of aborted fetus' used to accrue great personal wealth. What's not to like?

And Gerry Ferraro. What can you say about a woman that has more testosterone than the rest of her party combined? Nothing! That's what you can say! Or she'll tear your head off and shit down your throat.

When I look at that list I realize something...Slow Joe ain't that bad.

edutcher said...

When they were in WI for the primaries, R&R were pretty loose together.

Considering how uptight Choom is, getting under his skin might not be that hard for Ryan.

cpu said...

I have climbed the M myself. Our oldest is finishing this semester at the U. My wife and I wanted to do it before she graduated, so this summer we did.

dreams said...

I think he has already made Romney a better candidate. It seems to me Romney feeds off him and has become more likable and articulate.

Also, I think Ryan's wife was smart to decline the invitation by Romney to speak, no need to give the Dems. ammunition.

Except that Ryan accentuates Romney's Zeligian political personality.

lemondog said...

I'm not an economist but I think there is validity to the changed demographics from the '80s.

Is Ryan stuck in the '80's? Does the plan factor in changed demographics?

What would Palin be doing in Obama’s colon (besides trying to get her shoe back)?
