Exclusive ! Ryan v. Romney

I told you about the fool on the hill,
I tell you man he living there still.
Well here's another place you can be,
Listen to me.

Trying to make a dove-tail joint-yeah

Wisconsin: Lawyers representing Rep. Paul Ryan filed last-minute motions with both the US Supreme Court and the Vatican, to have his relationship with Mitt Romney on the Republican presidential ticket annulled “contingent upon the expected loss to Barack Obama and Joseph Biden.” An attorney for Ryan told the Glass Onion that “the Congressman now realizes that there was virtually no way for this relationship with Romney to work out. More, without immediate action upon the part of the Court and Vatican, any linkage between the two will cause long-term humiliation to Ryan, rendering his political future to be less appealing than that of Gary Condit.”

“Before his noble attempt to save Governor Romney’s clearly doomed candidacy, Paul Ryan enjoyed a reputation as an honest politician. Outside of Wisconsin’s 1st District, few people were aware of his history of fabrications. If his place on this losing ticket is allowed to stand, it will do irreparable harm to Rep. Ryan’s reputation,” the legal brief argues.

As part of the annulment, Ryan’s lawyers are asking the Supreme Court to issue an emergency mandate, naming him as New Jersey Governor Chris Christie’s vice presidential running mate in 2016. A separate brief to the Vatican seeks their blessing on this, as well.
