"Simpering" has been my own personal word since halfway through the Rove administration.

To be fair that was poor reporting and the reporter was making a statement instead of asking a question. It just annoys me how conservatives act like Ryan wasn't taking shit, while it was his handlers ended the interview.

I think it's a pretty fair question actually.

"I'm going to make sure we enforce these laws."

"I'm going to cut taxes."


If we can't enforce laws now on the country's income now, what makes you think we'll be able to do it when you drop the income yet again?

"The Ryan Budget" is one of his key talking points and has been for months.

"The Ryan Budget," like a lot of Republican dogma, cuts taxes (yet again) for those with the most and shifts the burden to the middle and lower classes.

It's fucking valid, given the impact of his proposed legislation. And it was a question. It's a follow-up. It's asking how one policy, enforcing laws, squares with another, cutting taxes to the point where services (like law enforcement) are being cut.

The reporter did use a sentence that was a question, but the tone was very accusing. It worded and said in a way that was trying to put words in Ryans mouth. The reporter should have put his biases aside and allowed Ryan's dogma to be his own undoing.

How dare the reporter ask a challenging question by adding a rising intonation to a statement!!! Paul Ryan is a simpering baby, and it shows.

Have we all just completely forgotten what journalism looks like in this country?

The Villages! (America's friendliest hometown)

ohhhhh, right!

Why couldn't they do what self-made man Paul Ryan did and be be born into a wealthy family with a successful construction business due in part from lucrative government contracts?
