It's beginning; Keith Olbermann tweeted that Ryan's initial approval from the retardicans is 6 points LOWER than Palin's was. (Dan retweeted it and it appeared on my twitter)

the MSM will have to start digging? no, they won't. Obama's going to have to throw more mud for them to take any notice. they'll be too busy being dazzled by Ryan's budget-y bullshit and giving Ryanomney an equal hearing.

“Should we spit or swallow?” will be the only question the traditional media will ask Ryand over the next few weeks.

Basically, Romney borked himself.

As Frank Rich said, Nuke Em. Two weeks till the republican convention, two weeks to lead the MSM by the nose to any serious questions.

I do like Krugman naming them the Galt/Gekko ticket. Doubt the kids will get it, sadly.

Here he is today, not quite losing his cool, but not really able to handle a heckler with any grace.

Sgt Doom, I applaud your use of links in lieu of your usual tl;dr screeds. Links don't require much scrolling to ignore them.

Keep 'em coming! I was scanning TPM today and it looks like the backlash is going to come fairly strong and pretty quick.

Slate has retracted the story. Dang. It was beautiful while it lasted. http://www.slate.com/blogs/moneybox/2012…

Already getting tired of all the talk about how hot Ryan is. Please. Anyone who votes against every form of government oversight - financial and environmental to name two types - and anyone who vigorously opposes marriage equality in the name of his religion - and anyone who enjoys killing animals for sport is NOT hot. Ever. No matter what the face and body say.
