Suddenly Republicans are Well-Mannered


Last night, Vice President Joe Biden schooled Paul Ryan, or should I say he took him behind the woodshed for a good old-fashioned beating.

My "dignified" Republican friends, channeling their best, newfound Charlotte Bronte/Jane Austen/Downton Abbey manners, raved about Paul Ryan's presidential behavior. This is what they do.

Biden took the wet behind the ears Ryan and scolded him. Ryan, doing his best, smarmy Potsie Weber turn, pretended to display the small town charm that made us all love Pleasantville and The Help. Can somebody say, "Yes Mr. Cleaver."

In reality, Mr. Ryan is most like the faux-fawning Biff in Back to the Future, insincere and out for the kill.

To think that the party that put crude Sarah Palin and lost stage-trekker John McCain on the ticket to defeat the Democratic Party with the daily insult -- Communist, Socialist, Kenyan -- is now suddenly the dignified example of propriety in the USA requires a short memory.
