...that is exactly what our household says.

He just gives me the CREEPS.

Middle aged dude - low self-esteem?

He's creepy ALL the time, imo. He's just a fascist lie machine.

Ryan morphs from looking goofy to smug. And when he looks smug, I'd just like to punch him.

I thought Gibson looked great in the first Lethal Weapon, but then, I like guys with long hair. Not that I consider that long, but by today's standards it is.

Welcome to DU!

When I first heard about Paul Ryan it must have been near the time of the Republican convention, and all I kept hearing was that he was this young, energetic, great-looking guy, who was energizing the base. I finally googled him to see a picture, and couldn't believe it. GOOBER! Now that's an appropriate comparison.

....saw on the MSNBC scroll. Can understand that - Ryan looks like a duffus idiot in them.

...and I've published over 100 articles and three books about weight training. Those DBs Ryan appears to be using look to weigh around 30 to 40 pounds. I'm 75 and can still use similar poundages in similar movements. What he is doing is not bad or good or exceptional, but he has reached a fairly high level of fitness, if not exceptional strength or muscularity.
I don't know what that marking on the pictured DB is supposed to mean.

A physically fit doofus, but a doofus, nonetheless.

A doofus working out while wearing a ball cap. Backwards. Indoors! A preening frat boy. The tool.

Goofy-ass Eddie Munster hair, pasty-ass skin, sleazy televangelist or sleazy used car salesman.

My husband works out to P90X and I so a few of the videos. I love Tony Horton...very motivating and especially motivating to women who want to do some weight training. But Paul Ryan is no Tony Horton. He is truly a tool trying to look cool. When you are in good shape you don't need to try so hard. Ryan ties way too hard. Reminds me of some jerky guys I went to college with. Eww.

But personally, as an adult, I think he looks like a dork, and totally ridiculous. And from what I remember of my teen years, I would have considered him a dork back then too.

I am an athlete too, and as a teen could carry my own weight of 100 pounds. But the only time I ever felt a need to show it off was when the feed store dude was lugging one 50 pound bag on his shoulder at a time, with much dramatic sighing and heaving. I was short on time, so shamed him into action by jogging to my car with one bag under each arm, braced against my hips.

(Now I'm pushing 60 and lug one 50 pound bag at a time with much dramatic sighing and heaving. )

That wasn't it.

Granted, his muscle definition is pretty good, but it's too targeted and not even close to what it would take to lift weights of that size. Just for shits and giggles, go into a sports store and try doing that lift with a 30 lb. weight. I can, and I've got multiple vertebra that are fractured. I could also take him out in an arm wrestling contest, and without resorting to this...

has his mom do his laundry and doesn't ever buy TP.

It's not very hard to sit and lift a 40# weight and show definition on ONE muscle. This is the kind of shit 15-yr-old kids do when they want to show off to their buddies. Had he been actually training, in any "routine" routine, his entire arm would have shown musculature, not just that one tiny part.

He looks, variously, skinny and flabby, and that one bicep curl won't change that, or his chicken legs.

* Disclaimer: though I used to work out religiously, his bicep looks better than mine, currently, so I'm not casting asparagus on his efforts. It's just that it's obviously contrived and easily achieved. And yes, I now have chicken legs, thanks to a reduced ability to exercise my own.

Still, this is more of a photo series for TIGER BEAT (or, knowing republicans, another kind of Meet & BEAT, if you get my drift).

Not intending to cast asparagus against gays, either, for I am one so blessed, though I missed out on the cleaning gene, and am now accepting applications for buff lifeguards who hate dirt and will spread BAB-O like Joan Crawford hitting Christina about the face and head with it. Bring me the axe, Tina, so I can cut some wood to smoke some fish, cheese. or BBQ some chicken with.

And never forget I beat you in the pool race, you ungrateful bitch!

Just enough to...compensate...

I'll bet money he drives an inordinately large pickup also...

Oh, wait. A quick search, and...

It's okay, Paul. Your Silverado isn't fooling anyone, nor are your Photoshopped workout pics. But Janna only married you for your money anyway, so it's not like you have to impress her with anything else.

My husband, who could bench press little Paul Ryan, said that is most definitely a 40#. Nice try, Ryan.

Of course! It's supply-side mathematics! But hey, we all knew lyin ryan is fan of Reaganomics.

Seriously, are there any numbers Paul Ryan won't jimmy to try to make himself look good?

I kill me.

when i first saw this pic, i seriously believed someone photoshopped ryan's
face onto a pic of a skinny kid. turns out, it's really ryan.

did he just recently start working out? he looks like he's got
quite a long way to go if he wants to build any muscle.

and 40 lbs is half of what i warm up with. and i'm a
46 year old mother of two.

They look like those of a 13 year old girl whose mom hasn't taught her to shave yet.

He can hire himself as a personal trainer.

just ask him about his marathon time!
