Meet Paul Ryan's Joe Biden

[moobu2]

"ABOARD THE RYAN PLANE — Paul Ryan has started preparing for his one debate with Joe Biden, his campaign revealed today, selecting prominent attorney Ted Olson to be his stand-in for the vice president.

Olson, the former Solicitor General and the man who argued Bush v. Gore before the high court on behalf of the 43rd president, has already held one session with Ryan in the past week.

“Joe Biden has been in elected office for more than 40 years," said Ryan spokesman Brendan Buck. "There are few people in politics with more experience debating the issues than Joe Biden, so we are taking this process seriously. Mr. Olson is one of the most skilled, intelligent, and successful litigators in America – just the kind of opponent needed to prepare the Congressman for Mr. Biden."

Olson is also well known for his work opposing California's Proposition 8, which banned same-sex marriage in the state, a case in which he joined for Bush v. Gore opponent David Boies in arguing. Olson called his work on the case "the highlight of my life," The Washington Post reported"

lied his ass off.

2. So, they need "one of the most skilled, intelligent, and successful litigators in America?"

To stand in for VP Biden? The man they constantly denigrate and paint as incompetent? Really? They see no incongruity here?

These people are walking parodies of themselves.

3. LOL.

It is pretty funny. But perhaps they checked out the tapes of Biden taking down Bork and realized that he is not "stupid" at all.
