(24,772 posts)He's the embodiment of Ayn Rand! He claims to be Catholic, but his policies are anti-Christian. He cruelty in denying to others the benefits he enjoyed himself is outdone only by his propensity to try to have it both ways.

Of course, I had pre-Vatican II nuns. I'm not so sure little Paulie Ryan would be such an ass if he had had to contend with Sister Mary Terminator and her ruler (though she waved her ruler a lot, I never actually saw her use it on someone - the threat was enough.)
