How many times did Vice President Biden call Ryan, "Congressman"?

1. What disturbs me is how many times he called him "my friend."

You can tell a lot about someone by the friends they keep.

9. Ha! That word "friend" was a euphemism.

It sure didn't mean what you think it means. Just the opposite. Joe also didn't mean it literally when he said, "I love it" about Lyin's denying the stimulus created jobs when he, himself, asked for stimulus money.

2. Martha Radditz was calling him congressman too

I noticed it immediately since it was made so well known yesterday that he would be referred to as "mister". I never heard Mr. Ryan once

3. Who indicated that Ryan would be referred to as Mr. Ryan? nt

5. The Romney camp requested it

I think there was even something here at DU yesterday talking about how Ryan would be addressed as "mister" instead of congressman. I know there were articles on Huffpo, politicususa and motherjones.

Whether they scrapped the idea last minute because it was so totally obvious why he didn't want to be referred to as one of those do nothing congressmen, I don't know. That could be why there was no Mr. Ryan.

4. Ryan wanted to run away from that title, didn't he?

but Joe wouldn't let him.

Thanks for the thread, LaydeeBug.

8. This Republican Congress is by far the most shameful of all

and the Republicans who made it that way know it, and want to hide it or pin it on someone else.

The Republicans have totally screwed the Crongressional Pooch.

Lyin Ryan ran from it.

He did not want Republican stink to emerge from under the cover of the Axe Body Spray (pour le homme) that he doused himself in after his intense daily, hyper-intense, hyper-narcissistic P90X workout routine.
