He's devestated to find out Ryan vastly overstated his wienermobile experience and is taking a break from PolyAss

"It is mathematically more difficult to become the driver of the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile than it is to become President of the United States."
-- USA Today 1994

"A hearty hot dog hello to you, Congressman Ryan!

First, as a former Wienermobile driver aka Hotdogger, let me extend my sincere congratulations to you on your recent appointment.

Second, we need to chat. Over the last few days, it has been widely reported that you used to drive the world-famous Oscar Mayer Wienermobile, however, we both know that this is simply not true. You were merely a sales rep for Oscar Mayer, and you sweet-talked your way into driving this legendary hot dog on wheels (via your Oscar Mayer-employed aunt, I might add) for one lap around a parking lot. Now I realize that nepotism has worked for your running mate, but I think it is imperative that you set the record straight immediately for the American people and get the base to trust you asap.

In 2009, Ryan wrote to Energy Secretary Steven Chu and Labor Secretary Hilda Solis asking for stimulus money to cover costs on two energy conservation projects in his home state of Wisconsin. In the letter, Ryan said the funds would help create jobs and reduce "energy

consumption" in the state. At least one of the companies received the requested cash.

So, the stimulus does create jobs and has other benefits, and all this time he and fellow idiots said it does not. "

Would you fries with your crow Mr Ryan?"

Well i guess thats what it takes to get the media to call out a politician on their lies - put an R next to their name. Better than nothing i guess

"but your side does it too!" has been rejected BY YOU in the past.

if you are campaigning against the stimulus, but your actions show that you were for it, and you tried to cover it up, would that be relevant?
(and I know that his job is to try and get money for WI so don't start that...)

poor persecuted republicans. needlessly attacked by the hippies who run corporate media.

oh, yes. Me too then. I wish that criticisms were based in reality for both sides too. I don't really care that Romney worked at Bain, just that he is honest and forthright about it. I don't care that Obama studied muslim teachings, just that he (wish he could be) is honest about it...
