7. Yup. The guy just lies and lies.

He needs to be asked for a clarification on his clarification. And while they are at it, they need to ask his brother Tobin if he gave Ryan "a good ribbing over this at dinner tonight." That sounds like a fishy attempt to make this all funny. It is hard to imagine a brother giving his Vice Presidential nominee brother "a good ribbing" over something that makes him a liar. How's that funny? How is that a ribbing?
