House Speaker Paul Ryan announced Wednesday that he will not seek re-election and will retire in January.

"You all know I did not seek this job," Ryan said, addressing reporters. "I took it reluctantly. ... I have no regrets."

Ryan, 48, cited wanting to be around his adolescent children more often.

"My kids aren't getting any younger," Ryan said, "and if I stay, they'll only know me as a weekend dad. That's it right there."

2. So the Zombie-Eyed Granny Starver feels his work there is done?!

He hasn't yet managed to replace everybody's SS check with a copy of Ayn Rand's best hits? Or is that coming in January as he departs Washington?

5. No regrets?

I'm sure people that benefit from social security, medicare and medicaid
will be glad to see your worthless ass.....gone.

6. Too late. Adolescents don't want to be anywhere around their parents.

Ryan just can't get anything right.

7. Naw, he did not seek the job...

... just ran around for months with a sign around his neck saying "Make me Speaker, PLEEEEAAASSSEE!"

No regrets on this side, either Paul. Except I regret you were ever born.

9. Democrats need a better candidate

The stache is too much of a character. He will not win. Someone like Beto would likely pick up Ryan's seat.

That you were ever in office and did your utmost to shaft us (99.999%) so that your kochey overlords got richer.
