Not quite sure why these are the recommended articles on the the Very Serious Time magazine reporter Mark Halperin’s “The Page” right now.

Obama has very long fingers.

Paul Ryan, Paul Ryan, Paul Ryan, Paul Ryan…

That’s the wrong finger for Ryan and Romney.

I’ve never looked closely at Cheney’s hands and now I will make sure that I never do.

Why is it only men who find Paul Ryan attractive? The men of the Beltway are getting more worked up over this creeper than over the far more telegenic Sarah Palin. What’s up with that?
Ben Franklin
The only curse of the Irish is the collaborators (Ryan, Pat Buchanan) who seem to think Authoritarianism is the only answer to social inequity. They think the Molly Maguires was a rock band they don’t get.
Roger Moore
@BGinCHI:
They’re a family website, so they’re not allowed to show the correct gesture. Though maybe that excuse would be more convincing if they weren’t talking about penіs size.

Ryan is a man too certain

I think item number two is causing a “Meet Thai Girls” ad to appear in the top banner.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Roger Moore
@Ben Franklin:
They don’t think that Authoritarianism is an answer to social inequality. They think it’s an answer to the lower orders’ inconvenient resistance to social inequality.

@beltane: P(e)nis envy.

Pull my finger!
Metaphor for the Ryan Budget?
Or close the hand and it becomes the Romneyfist Manifesto. Bend over and think of Reagan.

Repeat from a couple of threads down, but interesting youtube of Biden warming up for R&R.
Bizarrely, the person who posted this on youtube thinks that this clip shows somehow that Ryan will wipe the floor with Biden’s ass.
Ryan is going to beat Biden’s truth and everyman sensibility and humor with Ryan’s snot-nose-punk whining? I would not bet on that.
Biden Romney Voice, Sign of the Cross

I think Biden can unleash his inner jackass and chew Romney and Ryan into shreds, leaving Obama to do the vision thing. Which will be nice to see.

Seriously, though, Halperin’s man crush on Ryan is the surest sign that the pick is horrid.

It’s a fine line between authoritarianism and S&M. Very fine.

I just heard Fox News employee Mara Liasson wondering aloud (on NPR) how the hell Romney, after choosing Ryan as his running mate, is going to “run away” from Ryan’s budget. As she said, what’s the point in picking Ryan, if you’re not going to follow his budget pretty closely? If it weren’t for his budget(s), how many people would even know who Ryan is?
Of course, we’re talking about Romney, who can and does adjust his beliefs and policies to whatever the moment demands, or more precisely, whatever he thinks will get him the most support today.
beltane
@redshirt: And there are those who feel that such a line does not exist at all.
Villago Delenda Est
This explains why Donald Trump, builder of skyscrapers, is called a short fingered vulgarian.

I read someplace (can’t find it now) that Ryan said in a WI appearance that cheese runs through his veins.
OK, so I guess even a miserable liar blurts out the truth once in awhile.
And I stand corrected: R&R: two cheesy chickenshit douchebags.
Brian R.
@jl:
I saw that, too.
I guess when you’re the kind of braindead idiot who votes for the GOP, it’s easy to be impressed by Paul Ryan’s smoke and mirrors.
“2 plus 2 is 5! 3 times 6 is eleventy freedom!”
“Oh, he has all the answers! He crunched them numbers and crunched ’em real good!”
JenJen
That’s nothing. Have you looked at Erick Erickson’s Twitter feed today? Of course not, and I applaud you for that.
But still.
Someone’s getting little starbursts over Paul Ryan.
@beltane: IKR??

@Brian R.:
“Oh, he has all the answers! He crunched them numbers and crunched ‘em real good!”
They’re confusing math with cheetos, mayhaps?

Erick Erick (“Erick”) Von Erikson always makes me think of that movie Heathers. As the nasty one.

I find this interesting —
Funny thing about NPR and Mara Liasson. If you read NPR’s profile of David Brooks, you will discover in the 2nd sentence that he writes a column for the New York Times. However, no matter how many times you read Liasson’s profile, you will never learn that she works for Fox.
El Cid
@Triassic Sands: Mitt Romney was not in charge of his presidential campaign when Paul Ryan was chosen as VP candidate. If necessary, he will retroactively dissociate himself from having been involved in his own campaign at any significant point.
jl
@El Cid:
What’s that Japanese word for when a bunch of dudes stand in a circle and **** on somebody? It will be weird watching the wingnutosphere do that on Ryan for the whole campaign, while the contemptible liar and coward Romney runs away from everything the wingnuts love about Ryan.
Ryan is more than than the regent who will run the future GOP administration for the creepy nonentity known as Willard Romney, he is their damn sex toy and religious fetish.
Really weird and distasteful stuff. And, BTW, also mad as a hatter.
I smell GOP trainwreck in the air, if we are lucky.
Edit: the wingnuts and Ryan, like some lost and very icky Mediterranean male fertility ritual from 15,000 years ago.
Roger Moore
@jl:
Bukake. And yes, there is more than a bit of that in the press’s treatment of Paul Ryan. I guess it’s a natural conclusion to the general press circle jerk.

Wait, this blog censors soshulizm spelled right, but you can say freakin *bukkake* and it gets through? Christ…

@The Other Chuck:
Well, Cole is used to be GOP, Maybe the old GOP naughty word filters are still in place.
Roger Moore
@The Other Chuck:
It’s an anti-spam filter. It should tell you something about the nature of spam that footwear, gaming establishments, and boner pills get blocked but porn terms don’t.
ETA: and socialism has now been unblocked by a special tweak to the spam filter.

@Triassic Sands:
By Mara’s standards, that’s a blinding flash of insight.
burnspbesq
@The Other Chuck:
And just who the hell do you think you are to question Mr. Cole’s priorities?
Roger Moore
@burnspbesq:
If there’s a Cole priority to complain about, it’s not the choice of words to block. He’s apparently using a common but badly written WP spam blocking plugin. The valid criticism is that he hasn’t either learned how to be a bit more selective in blocking stuff or hired a competent admin to do so. I guess it’s a lot easier when you’re the guy with the power to release posts from the spam filter and a bunch of posters who have mostly figured out how to work around it.
Mr Stagger Lee
@The Other Chuck: Because, Shut Up!!! That’s Why!!!! Actually I feel the same as you do. :-)

Look on Google image for “Dick Cheney’s dick”. You might as well just look at his hands. Although this is an impressive picture.

That front page opens up a side of someone’s thought processes about which I really didn’t need or want to know. How somebody put that list together…the only thing it lacks is some input on moral behavior from Catholic bishops.
Mancrush indecently exposed, yo. Get a room, Helperin.

@jl: Saw a Biden clip on the NewsHour giving a speech that absolutely eviscerated Ryan and did so with the utmost flair and mordant humor – like being flayed alive with sparklers. It was superb.
I predict the VP debate will be a slaughter and, unlike last time, when Biden felt constrained not to seem condescending to the Snowbillie from Wasilla, this one will be two Irishmen going up against each other and I know from where I speak on that one.
