That Paul Ryan tweet is a great example of what is so irksome about Paul Ryan. He always speaks as if he's the first person to discover something and we are sitting at his knee being enlightened.

That Paul Ryan tweet is a great example of what is so irksome about Paul Ryan. He always speaks as if he's the first person to discover something and we are sitting at his knee being enlightened. He's so naturally, comfortably didactic. That someone that combines Mr. Ryan's level of freshman dorm room arrogance with a really eye-opening lack of original insight could rise so high really says everything you need to know about the Republican party past and present.
"He always speaks as if he's the first person to discover something and we are sitting at his knee being enlightened. He's so naturally, comfortably didactic."
These are qualities that Paul Ryan shares with his fellow useless Indianan, Mike Pence who recently told us it was "Republicans’ Time for Choosing." (No, Mike, that was 2016.)
They are the ultimate white guys who man 'splain it to you. Maybe they're used to being the smartest guys in Indiana.
Craig, I do my best to extend grace to the newcomers like Charlie and many other Never Trumpers, but the fact that many couldn’t see the Republican Party, writ large, for what it was 25+ years ago doesn’t speak well of their critical thinking skills.
Sykes also spent a lot of time interviewing Ryan, summarizing it, promoting it, and this was just last year so obviously the shine hasn’t worn off yet.

I think Pinnochio spent too much time with Ayn Rand.
Remember, he was considered the GOP's "idea guy"! Sad.
Krugman would put him in the category of "serious people"
Actually, Krugman has been calling him a "Flimflam Man" since 2010..
A “policy wonk”, if I remember from the fawning, uncritical media.
He was never a policy wonk but that was always the claim, how smart he was. He was a complete moron.
Still is!
Don’t tell Sykes though. He still appears to worship him.

The media was complicit; they were spoon-fed that phrase, and dutifully repeated it ad nauseum, without a thought.
Your last sentence......chef's kiss!
"He's so naturally, comfortably didactic."
I'd use douchey over didactic, but yes.
He’s only missing the douche beanie.
