While
the president* was fastening on his Serious World Leader face Monday
night, Speaker Paul Ryan, the zombie-eyed granny-starver from the state
of Wisconsin, was facing a carefully tailored audience at a CNN "town hall" in Racine.
Because Ryan is the biggest fake to hit Congress since the King of the
Cranks, Ignatius Donnelly, there was the usual nonsense and
prevarication. (Chait puts paid here to Ryan's outright mendacity concerning healthcare.
Alas, Jake Tapper, who otherwise did a good job, whiffed on this one.)
But my favorite moment came when Ryan was confronted by a Dominican nun
who challenged him to square his zombie-eyed granny-starving with his
Catholicism. What followed was pure Ryan, which is to say dishonest,
cowardly, patronizing, and totally unmoored from either self-awareness
or actual reality. Gaze in awe.
