Even Professional Dope Ezra Klein Says Biden Should Fear Ryan

Home - by - August 11, 2012 - 11:45 America/New_York - 9 Comments

Joe Biden has a lot of debate prep ahead of him. I’ve interviewed Ryan three times. Twice on health care (here and here), and once on economics (here). He’s very quick on his feet, and he’s got a lot of experience explaining his plans to skeptical audiences. He’s also a likable and, while I don’t know him very well personally, decent-seeming guy. He’s repeatedly won reelection in a moderate district. Democrats underestimate his political skills at their peril. – Ezra Klein

    Ryan’s famous 6-minute take-down of ObamaCare is worth another watch (especially when the camera cuts to Oblamo):

    O & Joe Best Prep Their Lie/Messages…They’re Outmatched

    @SheVee Obama’s eyes glazed to 100% blankness. At the same time ‘Doll Scalp’ was playing solitaire Tic-Tac-Toe and losing. Sarah Palin cleaned his clock in ’08 debate.

    Biden scares himself and the obama admin. He should just quit with the suit and tie and wear the attire that fits him……clownsuits.

    Oh yeah. Plugs will not know what hit him. Actually looking forward to the VP debate – can there be more than one?

    My favorite description of Ryan is from Robert Draper’s terrific book about the Tea Party-infused 2010 House of Representatives, Do Not Ask What Good We Do: “Ryan had long sought to be the GOP’s glue, pleading for adherence to the principles and the data. At times he looked like the underfed, hollow-eyed child of alcoholic parents.” Any Donk or Mediot who hurls the usual feces at Ryan is going to end up looking and smelling much worse than Ryan will!
