Seven fun facts about Paul Ryan

  1. He sleeps on the couch in his office, which explains why he looks like Eddie Munster. The pout is from the permanent imprint of the leather cushions.
  2. He has given away many copies of Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged” as Christmas presents. These are more popular than his usual gifts — lumps of coal.
  3. He strangles spawning catfish with his bare hands, a practice known affectionately as “noodling.” Apparently his pro-life position stops at the river’s edge.
  4. At 42, he is the same age as Mittens’ eldest son. Luckily for him, he wasn’t actually born a Romney or he would have been named Pagg.
  5. In high school, he was voted Biggest Brownnoser. This may explain the tiny roll of toilet paper he still carries with him everywhere.
  6. He and David Gregory played pickup basketball in college. If this VP thing doesn’t work out, look for him to have Matt Lauer’s job next year.
  7. His very limited private sector experience includes having once spent a day driving the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile. Mama will pay a fortune (OK, two tickets to the “Sexy Liberal Comedy Tour” show and a reach-around at the meet-and-grope) to anyone who sends me a photo of Little Pauly riding around in his weiner car!
