The informed sources were as confident as they were all unanimous. He would be a middle aged white male Republican congressman who sleeps in his Washington office. He would represent a district in an economically declining rust-belt state. A district that went for Obama. He would be a vocal proponent of extreme right-wing/libertarian policies. Like privatizing Medicare. And he would sink a presidential ticket faster than you could say You Betcha!If you were told that, you would assume that Mitt Romney chose Eighth District Congressman Joe Walsh to be his running mate. Wouldn't you? Well your LakeCountyEye did and as readers of this blog are mistakenly aware ...
Romney / Walsh in 2012!it was reported here that Republican Presidential nominee, Mitt Romney, picked Joe Walsh as his candidate for Vice President.
Well, there happens to be more than one middle aged white male Republican congressman who sleeps in his congressional office and represents a district in an economically declining rust-belt state that went for Obama and who is a vocal proponent of extreme libertarian views like privatizing Medicare. And he happens to be Wisconsin congressman Paul Ryan.
Who knew?
Your LakeCountyEye regrets the error.

OMG! I wondered what became of Eddie Munster. Only in America can the scary little vampire child of a bumbling, cartoonish Frankenstein monster become a candidate for the second highest office in the land.
Then again, we elected the scary, bumbling, cartoonish Joe Walsh to Congress, so, I guess America really is the land of dreams and, of course, nightmares.
