Close enough for government work- I can support him.
Well, being the ‘guy’ who used to like to pull one wing off a fly and let him run around in circles before ‘snuffing’ him, I certainly hope this is a ruse.
Not so much as I have anything against Ryan, good choice, just to cram it up these idiot MSMers —that were interrupting a NEWS broadcast to announce the ‘scoop’— hind parts.
Or tell different ‘(un)trustworthy’ aides a different choice and see who your leak is.....
What will the MSM do? Turn on Romney? ha...
BTW what do you call a FLY with no wings?
A WALK.....
