VFR’s first mention of Paul Ryan

On September 3, 2008 I wrote:

Now the key House Republicans are giving a press conference on C-SPAN. They are proposing a very different plan, in which “Wall Street pays for its own rescue rather than the tax payer … by paying premiums for insurance,” whereby the credit block-up will be unblocked and economic activity restored. While I don’t understand the plan yet, I must say that these Republican House members—Eric Cantor of Virginia (a Jew with a pleasant Southern drawl), Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, Judy Biggert, and others—are so much more well-spoken, honest-sounding, honest-looking, and even better-looking than their corrupt-looking Democratic counterparts, particularly the Democrats’ grotesque point man, Barney Franks, that they seem on a higher level of evolution.
