Paul Ryan made a deal with a Democrat Senator to take money from military retirement and give it to the Democrat Party to buy votes with.
Now, is that stupidity or the deliberate actions of a weasel?
I don’t think he’s stupid, if that answers your question. :)
In fact, I’ll take it a step further. I think he is, in a way, getting what Dan Rather got. i.e. in the world of the internet and bloggers, you can’t just trust the MSM to cover your butt.
