Or a heart.
Just large pockets that need to be constantly filled.

(54,405 posts)He should be searching elsewhere for the answer, anyway. Retiring Republicans not leaving for reasons of indictments, arrests, or embarrassment usually have lucrative jobs waiting for them. I'm sure a top political commentator on Fox Noise makes several multiples of what a House Speaker makes.
Wouldn't it be ironic if Ryan left the House for Fox, and then got canned because Disney didn't want the embarrassment?

(54,405 posts)I just saw a quick headline in passing, and was speculating. I guess, in retrospect, it would make sense that Murdoch would not give up Fox Noise. Selling stupidity to idiots must be one of the most lucrative gigs around these days.

(7,522 posts)I think he also knows he's going to get a big payday from whichever fellow souless oligarch Randian for doing whatever. And he won't have to deal with all the bs from the teabaggers, drumpf, etc.
