Caught in the Act

YOUNG, HANDSOME, UPRIGHT CONSERVATIVE G.O.P. V.P. nominee paul ryan, who is capable of sin after all, is experiencing one of the unpleasant aspects of being in the public spotlight; its a lot harder to lie and get away with it.

Everyone who becomes famous learns this painful lesson eventually, usually the hard way, the way mr ryan learned. It is surprising that he had not learned it long before, with all his years in the house of representatives. Or maybe he just had a momentary lapse.

In a recent interview he told the interviewer that he ran a marathon in just under three hours, which is a very impressive time, the sort of time everyone who runs a marathon dreams about, but few achieve. Ryan's actual time was something over four hours, which certainly isn't bad - just finishing a marathon is laudable.

He did not attempt to claim that his memory lapsed, which was smaart, because it didn't. Everyone who runs a marathon knows exactly how long it took to run it, and nobody ever forgets. By the same token, he did not do any dramatic, sad, sickening, syrupy mia culpa apology, also an intelligent move, because that of course would have been too hilarious.

He just factually restated the facts then moved on, apparently after he received flak about it from a brother, who really did have a good marathon time, and didn't want to let Ryan get away with it.

The more famous you get, the more you become addicted to fame, like a drug, and the more you want to impress people. So paul ryan is very definitely normal. Now, perhaps, he's a bit more humble.

It is to be hoped that democrats won't spoil the fun by claiming that this lil white lie is an overwhelming indictment of ryan's character, or some such foolishness. But don't be surprised if they do; this is big time, big league, winner take all american politics, after all.

Paul, who after all is still quite young, made a mistake, slid past it smoothly, and probably learned his lesson. The rest of us should be content to have a good hearty laugh.
