If one pulls up the video on the portion of what I think was the (or one of the) first joint Healthcare Summit sessions done in 2009, where Ryan was proffered to provide feedback from the rethug point of view about the process and what they wanted or didn't want, the rethug Congressmen sitting directly next to him and all around him, can be seen literally gawking and smirking with wide-eyed wonder, as if he was their offspring doing his first show and tell in the classroom.

They were that enthralled. By absolute bullshit.

And that's because he probably told them that it was "too complex" to try to describe to them and he would "take care of the details of the proposal".

I had to blink when I re-watched that part of it a couple weeks ago because I remember watching it live back then and didn't really pay him much mind, because he came across very arrogant.

He's a total fraud.
