Matthew Cooper, what in the Hell are your talking about?
Just two brief points.
1. Lets compare and contrast (for historical purposes) on how Team Romney treats Ryan compared to how Team McCain treated Palin. There will be no Wallace or Schmitt so that’s a good start. Any this backbiting by some who still want to kick Palin to curb has got to stop...those are the ones that need to shut up.
2. Ryan was at the DC premier of HBO’s “Game Change”. Hope no one tries to zing him on that one. I guess he has a good explanation such as great snacks and fine cocktails.

Spotted in the crowd…
Guests were a mix of media such as Politico‘s Executive Jim VandeHei and his nicer half (just joking) wife, Autumn, Patrick Gavin, Kim Kingsley and Mike Allen. We spotted NYT‘s Mark Leibovich, NBC’s Luke Russert, WaPo’s Ed O’Keefe and Jonathan Capehart. Others: CNN’s Dana Bash (who appeared as herself in the movie), as did her colleague Gloria Borger, Bloomberg’s Margaret Carlson, The Daily Caller’s Nick Ballasy, GOP Consultant Kevin Madden, and GOP media consultant Ron Bonjean and wife, Sara (a.k.a. the party hoppers), The Hill‘s Emily Goodin, publicist Courtney Cohen, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) Washington Examiner‘s Nikki Schwab, Roll Call‘s Warren Rojas, and publicist/Hollywood on the Potomac blogger Janet Donovan. Both US Weekly and People had reporters and/or camera people on hand. There were also German, Chinese and Japanese TV stations.
They are just flailing at Ryan, hoping to land some random punches.
