Has anyone else noticed that Paul Ryan has been noticeably

[KauaiK]

absent from photo ops w/ Cantor and Boehner, newscasts even on Faux, etc?

[JI7]

1. maybe because the leader of the party is Ted Cruz

[Warpy]

2. He's being protected

He's the heir apparent for the nomination in 2016.

Well, that is if they can come up with a nominee. The convention is very likely to become a donnybrook.

[Ikonoklast]

5. Oh please let it be him, please.

The debates would be a bloodbath, that man is not smart.

[Warpy]

6. No, but he's slicker than snot on a doorknob

and ten times as nasty. I'm hoping either the convention is a donnybrook the way it was when both the Federal Party and the Whigs folded or that the teabaggers nominate Ted Cruz, the most self sabotaging man out there.

[RavensChick]

10. It sure would!

After the "hot mic" that aired now everyone knows those thugs will put their foot in the mouth in a big way! I really hope it's him too!

It never hurts to prepare early for the main feature!

[tjwash]

7. That would be awesome - more flop-sweat from ryan at the debates!

[ribrepin]

13. I love me some Joe

I was feeling really down and your graphic brought a laugh to my lips - Thank you

[nyquil_man]

19. Joe's reactions were classic.

He silently acknowledged what so many of us were thinking: Paul Ryan is a fucking joke.

[dembotoz]

11. wisconsin's lyin ryan is not Mr. Braun

[cui bono]

3. Yeah. They probably don't want anyone reminded of his budget.

Even though with the sequester I think the spending is less than even his budget.

[meadowlark5]

4. Maybe he can be found at the Capitol gym

Pumping some iron with his baseball cap on backwards. Or washing clean pots at a soup kitchen.

[Coyotl]

8. He was on CNN blathering the propagandas, and he was on OPEN MIC with Mitch!

He was relishing the attention and enjoying LYING to the public.

[Snotcicles]

9. He'll pop up in a big way in about 2015 1/2. nt

[DeSwiss]

12. Somewhere.....

...reading his lines? And trying to stay as far away as possible from the growing stench coming from the direction of the House Speaker's Office?

- He was planning to fumigate it later anyways......

K&R

[BadGimp]

14. I think he got his ass handed ot hium before Ted Cruz came on the scene ..

and he's not eager to have it happen again..

just guessing

[graywarrior]

15. He's in his lab concocting poison for the rest of us

[pinboy3niner]

16. "Hey girl...

Ya miss me?"

[Motown_Johnny]

17. Losing vice presidential candidates are done

I am sure he is semi retired at this point

[UTUSN]

18. Absent and absent, RYAN & CANTOR n/t

[Blue Owl]

20. He's cruzing around in the Bonermobile

n/t

[KauaiK]

21. Hahahahahahahaha!!!!
