"Paul Ryan himself directly contacted the New Yorker."
That is plainly a false claim!
You plainly wrote that:
"A sub-3 hour mile is really fast. How could he not know he was claiming a near miraculous feat?"
He never said that. That's plainly another false claim you made.
Now you've added yet a third false claim that Paul Ryan's spokesman contacted The New Yorker, even though I already provided you the direct copy from your own article plainly stating that The New Yorker contacted the Ryan campaign.
Why are you blaming me for your false claims and misstatements, and expecting forbearance for what you "obviously" meant? You're just like Al Gore.
wow, you are a real piece of work.
