Krugman: The Ryan Role

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

4. That was the line that jumped out at me...

"What the whole Beltway media crowd has done – is to slot Ryan into a role someone is supposed to be playing in their political play"

The MSM is all about telling a compelling story, whether there's a shred of actual truth to it or not. And Paul Ryan supposed to be the studious "voice of reason" in an otherwise insane Republican Party. But the fact is, he's wallowing in his own feces just like the rest of them.

The Ryan Plan is not so much a "plan" as it is a conservative whacking material -- an outline of their vision of an America that resembles the intersection of "Oliver Twist" and "Blade Runner."
