Paul Ryan Knocked Over By Pack Of Rambunctious Romney Boys

BELMONT, MA—Visiting the home of running mate Mitt Romney today, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) was reportedly knocked to the floor by a pack of rambunctious, wet-nosed Romney boys, all five of whom jumped onto the vice presidential candidate as soon as he entered the door and sniffed him from head to toe.

Sources said the Romney boys—Tagg, Craig, Matt, Ben, and Josh—spent nearly three minutes eagerly licking the congressman’s face and slobbering all over his jacket before their father, Mitt, grabbed them by their shirt collars and pulled them off, telling Ryan, “They always get a little excited when we have visitors.”

“As soon as I rang the doorbell they came running right up to the door,” said Ryan, noting that the oldest one, Tagg, got so excited he urinated on the family’s rug. “Mitt told them to get in the living room, and they were fine after that. I think they just don’t know their own strength.”

“By the end of the day, I was scratching Ben’s belly like he was my best friend,” Ryan added.

They are just 'all American kids'... with million dollar bank accounts. Do those 'kids' really think that is how the 'common people' behave?

as soon as they sit down? The family tends to keep him locked up whenever major campaign contributors come by, I understand.

20. This is one of the adults who should be in charge that Mrs. Mitt-Ann talked up?

"I think it's been pretty clear that both my husband and Paul Ryan are very serious candidates. They're the adults in the room that are going to talk about how to make things better," she said.
