Paul Ryan Unites House Republicans Under a Single Extremist Agenda
And Wall Street has its claws in him—and plenty of Democrats—too.

The extended media honeymoon of Paul Ryan, the zombie-eyed granny starver from the state of Wisconsin and the first runner-up in our most recent vice-presidential pageant, a honeymoon that never has really ended , has reached a new level of intensity now that Ryan graciously has assumed the position of Speaker of the House of Representatives. It is said that Ryan, the biggest fake in the history of recent American politics, was the only Republican capable of reuniting the House majority, which is not a very good idea, because a fractious, disunited GOP majority often was the only thing standing between the country and some truly bad ideas, many of which Paul Ryan has spent a political lifetime supporting. I, for one, was all in favor of an unruly, undisciplined mob as opposed to organized, disciplined chicanery, like we're seeing at the moment with a couple of vital pieces of legislation.
First of all, Ryan is waving his mighty sword at the president over the budget deal, and on funding a federal agency, all of which has to be accomplished in a little over a month. Ryan also refuses to say whether he will allow poison-pill riders to be attached to the bill—a measure of the fact that he's still a fairly weak Speaker in thrall to the extremists whose support he needs to function.
