In reply to the discussion: Runners World: We Can’t Verify Paul Ryan’s Sub-3-Hour-Marathon Claim [View all]BlueStreak
(8,377 posts)38. Can't remember the first girl he kissed either
Or what school he graduated from.
Or his first car.
This guy has been a big fish in a little pond with no serious competition for his seat before this year. He obviously was never held accountable to anything in his prior campaigns. And the beltway media only wanted to talk about how handsome he is and what a great workout he does every day.
And he only appears on Faux, where they never challenge anything. So he has been conditioned to just make shit up.
I am trying to think of anything of substance I have heard him say that was actually true.
