Charles Pierce in my view holds the honor of posting perhaps the most devastating and erudite take-down of Rep. Paul Ryan blogged so far, since Saturday when Mitt Romney choose the Wisconsin winger to share the GOP presidential ticket.
Pierce, a former Wisconsin journalist who now covers politics for Esquire magazine, lit into Ryan big time in a moderately lengthy post. Every sentence is delicious writing and full of disdain for Ryan, who was in the House of Representatives the architect of the GOP "dismantle Medicare and much of the rest of the social safety net while hiking the deficit by trillions" budget plan -- if, that is, you can call it a plan when Ryan says future congresses will have to specify unknown spending cuts over the next 28 years to make his factually lacking little package actually add up dollar-wise.
