Mr. Ryan Goes to Wisconsin
Paul Ryan pitches his budget to constituents.

Famous chronicler of presidential campaigns Ted White once described the snow in Wisconsin as representing a rudimentary form of economic justice. â€œUnder the snow, it is impossible to tell the poor farm from the rich farm. . . . The snow gives a white uniformity to the landscape,â€ he wrote.

There is still snow on the ground in late April as Congressman Paul Ryan drives the roads of Wisconsin to pitch his own brand of economic justice. After unveiling his 2012 federal budget two weeks ago, the chairman of the House Budget Committee has returned to his district to conduct 19 town-hall-style meetings

I really like Ryan and would like to see him on the ticket. Vice-president?

The veep is a nothing gig.

I'd like to see him as Speaker. I think he'd kick ass and take names.

I dunno about DU, but I think that in Cheney's case, GWB kept him pretty well informed and delegated out to him more than many presidents have. In that respect, Cheney wasn't a "nothing" veep -- but Biden sure the hell is.

Did you catch king zero scoff at him as "America's accountant" or something like that? Said with a sneer. Hey asshat, that's exactly what we need.
