Speaker Paul Ryan Damn Sure He’s The Only American Who Deserves Weekends

So nice to be him


Speaker Paul Ryan Damn Sure He’s The Only American Who Deserves Weekends

Family time's important, if you're Paul Ryan


In case you were wondering how long it would take newly elected Speaker of the House Paul Ryan to remind everyone he’s still a standard-issue Republican dick, the answer is: Haha, dummy, did it break your brain when you fell off the turnip truck this morning? Speaker Ryan spent his Sunday blah blahing on all the teevee shows, even though having weekends off was one of his conditions for taking the job in the first place. Guess he made a special exception. Family time is important when you’re an entitled male asshole whose ambition and dedication to his job would never be questioned, on account of having a penis.

Here is Speaker Ryan, savior of the Grand Ol’ Party and Congress itself, chatting with “Fox News Sunday” host John Roberts and being a dick — to you, and you, and your mom, and your dad, and your kids, and your grandparents, and your neighbors, and your college roommate (yeah, the one who always finished the milk without replacing it), and basically all of America:


ROBERTS: And there are many people in this country who would like to see you make your first priority legislation that gives people the backing of the federal government so that they can have time with their families. Would you make that one of your priorities?
RYAN: So, I don’t think people asked me to be speaker so that I can take more money from hardworking taxpayers to create some new federal entitlement. But I think people want to have members of Congress that represent them. That are like them. Don’t you want your member of Congress to be a citizen legislator, who lives with you, among you, who has your own kinds of concerns? Who wants to spend time with his children on Saturdays and Sundays?

First of all, “the people” who asked Ryan to be speaker are named John Boehner, and Boehner was tasked with the thankless job of finding his own replacement so he could get the hell out and go home to Ohio. It’s not as if there was a national outcry of Reg’lar Americans demanding Ryan for speaker.
