Another tall tale by Paul Ryan that I find implausable

[Kindly Refrain]

That Paul Ryan supposedly sleeps in his office on Capitol Hill when in D.C. If you've ever been in the House office buildings, they are like museums, with enormously long hallways. Where would he shower? Supposedly in the House gymnasium. Does this seem feasible to anybody? Waking up on a "cot" everyday Congress is in session, walking out into the hallway all crusty and bleary eyed and walking down to take a shower in the gym. You'd have to take all your toiletries and dress shirts, dress shoes, suits with you back and forth down these long hallways up and down elevators. I'm thinking that there is probably a network of bunk houses like the C street house that these guys utilize, but they don't want to disclose this because it would make it look like they are coddling up to special interest. That story about him sleeping in his office just always seemed fishy to me.

6. I've seen those reports and I find them suspect as well

All these Republican House members sleeping in their offices. They are trying to portray some B.S. notion that "they came to D.C to work!" and that "they aren't going to spend the taxpayers dime finding a place to live". Don't they get a housing allowance? Are these guys not pocketing their allowance? Just seems like some contrived bullshit.

8. That video is perfect.

Tim Walberg, Michigan's 7th District, eating a bowl of Kellogg's Raisin Bran in his office because he sleeps in his office. Kellogg's corporation is based in Battle Creek, within his district. Don't tell me that these guys script every single bit of their lives.

2. Someone needs to start a Paul Ryan anti-site.

With all his braggadocio and gaffes. Like the Chuck Norris site.

3. These exaggerations and lies reveal a very immature personality.

Ryan acts like an insecure kid in Junior High School.

4. BAAWWAAAHHHAAAA

Of course.

5. that's during work hours

7. I assumed the offices had their own restrooms. And he probably has a sofa.

It seemed plausible to me. I don't think he's the first to do that.

9. I find it implausible that this "financial wizard" can tell a spreadsheet row from a column....

.... let alone tell you what the sigma icon is for.

13. Ayup. That "Ryan Budget" was handed to him by the Koch Bros. He came up with NOTHING on his own.

Ryan has trouble answering questions about the specific details of what is suppose to be something written by him.

10. "Paul BRunyan"

11. May be good for his girlfriend

who lives near by -- convenient

12. So he relies on the government for his housing.

Grifter!

14. Not all that implausable

I have been sleeping in my car for 1.5 years now. If you find that implausable come visit and stay a night.
