Gutless gym-rat (emphasis on the rat) and Ayn Rand devotee
Paul Ryan is calling it quits…about 20 years too late if you ask me. Ryan announced
that, since it looks very likely that he will lose his re-election bid this
coming November, he would not seek another term as the Koch Brothers’ representative
of in Wisconsin. Ryan told reporters, “I like to think I've done my part,” after
his tireless and tiresome work passing the recent horrific. The incredibly
Rand-ian tax cut was designed to con the poor and middle class, while heaping
more wealth on those who already had more than enough.
Ryan might seem to be out of our hair for good, but he will
be running for president in 2024. This is why he is bailing now. He knows
Chrump is captain of the Titanic that is the Republican’t party, making
re-election difficult even for GOPers not nearly as unpopular as Ryan is right
now. And he cannot afford to lose his seat, especially while he is Speaker if
he wants to be president. Although it is quite possible that the Kochs or their
fellow travelers will make Ryan an offer he cannot refuse that will make him
richer than Donald Chrump.
Anyone who has spent any time watching the Wisconsin Weasel
knows that he would much rather stay in his job in order to gut Medicare and
Social Security. No one, of course, should pay any attention to the fact that
from the time of his father's death, when Ryan was 16, until his 18th
birthday, Ryan received Social Security survivor’s benefits. He used his
benefits for his college education (which he clearly wasted, spending most of
his time drunk on Ayn Rand and dreaming about killing Medicare while “drinking out
of kegs”). Good thing people like Ryan were unable to kill Social Security back
then. Ryan himself fought diligently to ensure that no one benefit from Social
Security the way he did. Ayn Rand would be so proud.
In 2005, Paul Ryan attended a gathering to celebrate Ayn
Rand’s 100th birthday, which she was fortunately not around to enjoy. He
declared Rand’s philosophy was “the reason I got involved in public service.”
Ryan said Rand was “required reading in my office for all my interns and my
staff…I give out ‘Atlas Shrugged’ as Christmas presents, and I make all my
interns read it.”*
On his way out the door, after 20 mostly worthless years in
Congress, Ryan answered a reporter’s question about the possible firing of
Robert Mueller, “I have no reason to believe that that is going to happen and I
have assurances that it’s not.” Those assurances, according to Ryan were rock solid,
“Because I’ve been talking to people in the White House about it.” As we all
know, the reliability of this White House legendary.
I. Mangrey rippin’ Ryan. He left us much too late.
*If you need
more detail on the outgoing human outhouse, we covered this subject in
nauseating detail in 2012.
By the way, the relentlessly obstinate and self-righteous Rand, after all that hootin' and hollerin' about "individualism", blah blah blah, herself took to the dreaded Medicare and Social Security toward the end of her useless life. So much for "objectivism". Ptui.
