Paul Ryan recently told a story of a little boy who didn't want a free school lunch, but rather a lunch in a brown paper bag — because it would mean someone at home loved him.

The problem was, it was a mangled, distorted version of someone else's story;�� and the boy in the story, now an adult, advocates for school lunch programs, as the Washington Post reported. On Monday's ��Daily Show,�� Jon Stewart took Paul's lie apart.

Paul said he had heard the tale from a woman serving in the cabinet of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, and that it proved that school lunch programs provided “a full stomach and an empty soul.��


Except that�� well.

'��Even though the woman in that story never actually met that boy, because she took the actual story from a book, and even though the actual boy in the story Paul Ryan was telling was not complaining about getting food assistance, but asking that when he got food assistance, could he get that food assistance in a brown paper bag because it could help him avoid the stigma of getting food assistance, and even though that actual boy, who's now an adult, and the author of that story regularly make public appearances to advocate for free school lunches, point taken,' �� Stewart said.

Of course, Ryan isn't one to get too bogged down on facts: Remember when he cut more than an hour off his marathon time?

Big surprise! Repulsicon statists lie! Who'd a thunk it?

Oh My Gorsh!

At least the Comedic Warrior For Truth And The American Way sussed him out!

So now, we are to listen to comedians for our politics?
We will end up with politicians like Al Frankenstine for gods sake.

being a politician and reporting about politics arent quite the same....

news is news, whether its political or entertainment, and all of it has some pretty laughable content,,,,,

So now Stewarts "opinions" you will accept as "factual"? A comedian no less...... interesting

So noted

lol,, didnt you accept it just three posts up?....

Im 'accepting' what is quoted , those attributed to the politican

and those attributed to Stewart

I believe Stewarts assessment but IM open to anyone disproving it,,,

How about this one?

Are they really having so much trouble signing the young demographic to Obozocare that Obozo himself has to stoop to this level in his attempt to sell it?

two ferns is a hilarious improv series,,,,,

Zach must have been psyched,,,lol

Just goes to show how much of joke this POTUS has made of the presidency of a once great nation

or how FREE he proves we really are ,,,,,


or how 'real' our leaders are, not all stuffed shirts with no humor or life,,,

Or how little he respects the office by letting it be humiliated by a simple comedian, when Senators who represent the people are bashed for simply questioning his agenda, bad policies, or authority to change a law as it is written and usurping the powers of congress.

It's not a "sign" of being human, it's a sign of how little he respects the office!

Perhaps you have forgotten the rodeo clown?

yes, because insinuating a wish for a bull to GORE some person, is so the same as two persons trading sarcasm about and WITH each other about their jobs,,,


lol

yes, part of what comedians do is make jokes out of politics and current events,

most adults can manage an adult conversation where jab is traded for jab (obviously)

its called a sense of humor ,,and defense of the self,,,,quite human,,,

and I think in Obama's case his jokes are very obvious.

well, ya know, people pounce on the tidbits quickly,,,,

I read this story recently, for instance, where a politician made a racist joke at Sheriff Arpaios roast

of course, some would jump all over it,


yet, being that the context was within a ROAST,,,,,I really don't give much of a crap

but that's me,, trying to be as concerned with CONTEXT as detail

Jon Stewart is like oButma.

Except Stewart knows how to read from his teleprompter and his writers are better.

a typical politician

He has actually kept a great tradition alive. Every potus has been a great criminal.

So. You're admitting oButmeister is a joke and criminal.

The criminals are the ones who bankrolled a junior senator to the potus, for a reason, he's just the president, like a ceo of a company, the ceo answers to the board of directors, whom are the true criminals who have bankrolled every president who ever sat in that office. He who feeds you controls you. He was selected so that dumb racist had someone to blame other then the usual culprits. Americans are dumb as rocks.
