Difference between Paul Ryan and Sarah Palin? LIPSTICK

No doubt you've already seen this posted at AmericaBlog, but you must read the entire article. Great writer. Great comments about Ryan. Great summation of last night.

Charles Pierce writing for Esquire...

For years, Paul Ryan has been the shining champion of some really terrible ideas, and of a dystopian vision of the political commonwealth in which the poor starve and the elderly die ghastly, impoverished deaths, while all the essential elements of a permanent American oligarchy were put in place. This has garnered him loving notices from a lot of people who should have known better. The ideas he could explain were bad enough, but the profound ignorance he displayed on Thursday night on a number of important questions, including when and where the United States might wind up going to war next, and his blithe dismissal of any demand that he be specific about where he and his running mate are planning to take the country generally, was so positively terrifying that it calls into question Romney's judgment for putting this unqualified greenhorn on the ticket at all. Joe Biden laughed at him? Of course, he did. The only other option was to hand him a participation ribbon and take him to Burger King for lunch.
You know what's the difference between Sarah Palin and Paul Ryan?
Lipstick.

...and thanks for the response. The article addressed some of the disturbing aspects of Ryan's political / social ideology. A kid should grow out of Rand by the time they graduate from college. It's juvenile.

I don't post very often. I truly hope that thousands read that article. It's important.
