Time Text
Is Biden still in that meeting with Obama or did they let him out?
It's 1230 Eastern that that started.
Is he still in there?
Are they still yelling at him?
I want to keep tabs in this.
What will Joe Biden look like after he emerges from the White House lunch with the president?
Do you think Obama says stupid whether Biden says stupid things when he's talking to Obama too?
Suggest in public that he makes all of these gas.
Every now and then there's a story that you have to look at and step back and think about for a minute.
Associated Press.
The trial for an army psychiatrist charged in the deadly 2009 Fort Hood shooting has been put on hold while an appeals court considers his objections to being forcibly shaved.
Major Nadal Hassan had been scheduled to enter a plea Wednesday to charges in the attack at the Texas Army Post, but all court proceedings were put on hold before he could do that.
According to a defense motion, a soned again he wanted to plead guilty for religious reasons, Hassan 41 is an American born Muslim.
But the judge, Colonel Gregory Gross said he could not accept a guilty plea because the charges carry death as the maximum punishment and the government is pursuing the death penalty.
The trial that was to start Monday will be on hold until the Army appeals court rules on Hassan's objection to being shaved.
Here's the problem.
It's an army trial, army regulations prohibit someone from wearing a beard.
Since he would be tried in an army trial, he's not supposed to have the beard during his trial.
So we are appealing his desire to continue to have a beard.
He killed thirteen people on a military base.
And we are allowing him to appeal to see if he has the right to grow a beard.
What is the matter with us?
There are two there are a couple of ways we could go with this.
Let him have the beard, convict him and execute him.
Who cares if he has a beard on if he's going to be executed or shave him, have the trial and convict him?
The man went on an American military base and killed his fellow soldiers.
13 of them.
I'm not going to suggest we're going soft.
But are we losing it here?
Most nerdly asked what does Sharia law say that we should do here?
I don't know, I know what Belling Law says we should do.
Let's get on with this.
We are so concerned about offending people's sensibilities, we have bent over backwards not to offend Muslims.
First of all, he's not really in the army anymore.
So if he has the beard on, who cares?
If he wants to shave his head, grow a beard if he wants to come in barefoot, who cares?
But secondly, if you're so determined that he can't go to trial without a beard, shave the beard.
Now to another one.
The Obama administration continues to double down on its support for alternative energy.
They want to make the opposition of the Republicans to wind and solar grants an issue in the campaign.
They think it's a winning issue for them.
I want to address this in another context.
What if we were to find the holy grail?
We finally found the perfect energy source.
And we realized that we had it in such abundance here in our country that our energy prices would continue to drop, that we wouldn't have any carbon footprint prop from it, and that we could actually sell the stuff at a profit.
What if it would create so much money and so much wealth in the United States that we'd actually have enough economic growth to start paying down the deficit, maybe even have an abat have a balanced budget?
What if we could come up with our equivalent to Saudi Arabian oil, but do so with an alternative energy?
By the way, it's never going to be solar.
They've been working on solar forever and they can come up with a way for solar to be me To produce enough energy to matter.
The same thing with wind.
So what if we actually found one?
What if some lefty scientist somewhere found that perfect energy source?
Would Obama hand out billions of dollars in grants so that we could pursue this perfect energy source?
It's a really interesting question.
Because I want to raise a hypothetical here.
And that is why does the left not love natural gas?
Think about this for a minute.
We have so much natural gas in the United States right now, and we've improved technology so much in being able to drill for it, that natural gas prices have been dropping essentially for 15 years.
America is a wash in natural gas.
When you burn natural gas, you produce virtually no emissions.
To get natural gas, all you have to do is drill small holes into the ground.
It's the cleanest energy source that we know of.
It's extremely efficient.
Right now, our usage of natural gas is matching that of coal.
And it's unbelievably cheap.
So why is the left against it?
Why do they want us to use windmills?
They're now, by the way, they finally got approval for those windmills on Cape Cod.
The Kennedy family have been object objecting to those forever.
They're going after windmills and they're going after solar like these are the most wonderful energy sources imaginable.
Ask them why they don't want us to pursue natural gas.
It solves all of our problems.
I think you're going to see a big focus from Romney and Ryan on pursuing America's known energy reserves.
There's talk right now that we have so much natural gas that we could actually start exporting it, making money for American businesses, and still have so much natural gas here that we can decrease our reliance on coal and use natural gas as the principal source of electricity generation.
They're working on natural gas cars.
The technology kind of exists, but nothing's in mass production yet.
This could be the answer.
So what's the downside to it?
I honestly think the reason liberals like solar and wind is because solar and wind aren't any good.
If we actually solved our energy problems as something that's clean, but is produced by profit-generating American businesses, I don't think that's what they want.
I honestly don't know why this issue isn't raised more aggressively and why you don't have conservatives pushing harder for full exploitation of our natural gas resources.
Everybody knows that most energy sources have at least some downside.
With coal, you've got to dig deep and get a lot of it.
And when you burn it, you create emissions.
We all know the problem with oil.
There are emissions.
Some of it has to be brought in from overseas.
When you spill it when you drill offshore, it creates problems.
Natural gas is almost perfect.
Most of it is buried under buried here in North America.
It's relatively easy to get our hands on it.
It's completely clean burning.
The profit potential from this is enormous.
We can cut our our reliance on imported oil.
We won't have to focus as much on coal.
We won't have to continue to deface the landscape with all these stupid windmills.
It's an incredibly efficient, cheap source of energy.
And nobody ever really talks about it.
1-800-282-2882 is the Rush Limbaugh telephone number.
Let's go to Tampa, Florida and Brian.
Brian, it's your turn on EIB with Mark Belling.
Thanks for taking my call.
Thank you.
Former professional athlete, current business owner, wanted to weigh in on what you had mentioned about him penalizing the rich.
You're referring to Obama.
I wanted to get your take on why do you think that is?
Because number one, they're gonna be hurting with less money in their pockets at the end of the business day.
And secondly, if there's less discretionary income to go around, if everybody gets taxed more often, less people are going out to see those celebrity events, the movies, the athletic events, what have you.
So I wanted to see why you thought um, especially most in the uh media.
Um why are celebrities all liberal?
Is that your question?
Brian?
Yes, sir.
Yeah, I th Is that your question?
Why are celebrities all why are almost all celebrities?
Yeah.
I mean, uh I mean, I was in that realm one day myself, and I I honestly don't understand the thought process behind it.
I don't think all of them are, but most of them are.
I think a lot of it has to do with, you know, most of them have fragile egos and they're constantly looking for reinforcement because they're entertainers.
I think they're liberal because they're liberal.
Because so many of them are liberal, in order to be popular in the liberal crowd, you need to have the same points of view.
Do you think most of them actually have thought about this stuff for more than two or three minutes?
I mean, do you do you think the Dixie chicks have actually pondered any political philosophy?
All they know is all the right people have these thoughts.
So therefore they will hold them.
They get their warm emotional fuzzies.
The other thing about them is none of them handle their own money.
They all have business managers, so they don't see what the impact on taxation actually is.
If you want to find a group of celebrities or athletes, though, that aren't, start talking to some professional golfers.
They're almost all Republicans.
Don't know why that's the sport that's going our way.
My name is Mark Belling, and I'm sitting in for Rush.
I'm Mark Belling sitting in for Rush.
I think I'm on the verge of setting my own personal guest host record for most different topics discussed on the same program.
And don't go anywhere.
I've got the weirdest one of the day is still to come, but right now we're joined by Richard Chris.
Richard is an experienced international trade attorney.
He's left government service last year and he's created his own firm, Richard Chris and Company.
He advises American businesses on trade matters.
He was hired by then Ambassador Rob Portman.
He worked with him in a senior capacity at the office of the United States trade representative.
The issue of trade hasn't been talked a lot about in the campaign, and usually when it is talked about, it's part of that whole class envy thing.
But I want to ex explore right now, particularly given the state of the American economy, what the implications are on trade, particularly American companies trying to take advantage of it with regard to the results of the election.
So Richard, first of all, thanks for joining us on the Rush Limbaugh Show.
Hello, Market.
It's a great pleasure to talk to you.
I I'm having a bit of a problem hearing you, but but I'll try to uh I'll try to go with uh with what I'm hearing.
I I I've I've heard I have a lot of people who say they have trouble understanding me.
Uh here's my first question.
What can we expect in trade if Romney or Obama wins and from your looking at their positions, what are the differences between the two when it comes to trade?
Well, in a word, uh Mark, leadership.
Um that that to me is the key difference.
Uh Governor Romney understands, I believe, in in the core of his being that it's urgent for us to reestablish our the global U.S. economic leadership and and particularly in in trade.
And and he understands that as a businessman, and I think he understands that intuitively as as American who cares about the future of the country.
Um particularly, I think understands that it's not the case that the world economy will all just work out fine whether or not the U.S. is an effective leader.
And uh particularly understands, I think that nothing good happens on trade or anything else in the international realm without strong persistent presidential leadership.
You know, that the president himself has to get involved.
He he can't delegate his leadership to his aides or to cabinet secretaries or to underlinks.
He has to get directly involved and do this.
And one of the things that he said um that I that I find so admirable uh in this regard, uh Mark, is uh is that he's Governor Romney has said on on the first day and talked on inauguration day that he's going to submit a jobs package to Congress that includes something uh called the open markets act, which will reinstate the president's trade promotion authority to facilitate negotiations of trade agreements.
Now, what what that means very simply is that um this is special legislation uh that Congress will consider uh that creates special legislative procedures uh to improve the consideration of trade agreements in the Congress.
So it enhances the President's credibility at the negotiating table.
So it means that he can go there and negotiate without having to worry about Congress undercutting his authority.
Exactly.
Exactly.
And it means in the very practical terms, it means that when we negotiate with other countries on opening up markets, that they will put their best deals on the table right away and not hold back and wait because they're afraid that Congress will uh undercut the President.
Richard let me ask you I worked in Congress uh uh ten years ago when we did trade promotion authority and I know from that experience that it really requires the President to get directly personally involved like President Bush did.
And that's not something that we've seen President Obama do.
I want to ask you about the whole Chinese situation with regard to trade.
Everyone in the United States is concerned that China is passing us economically and that they're this terrible threat.
We also see that with regard to a lot of things American businesses are having a hard time getting full access to China and China's taking advantage of us by avoiding our copyright laws, intellectual property and so on.
I want this is a kind of open-ended question, but how do we pursue a relationship with China so that American businesses can start making money by selling to a country with a billion people while at the same time not letting China walk all over us.
Well a couple of things one of the th the things that that that we have to do is is that we have to be smarter and tougher and and quicker with how uh we we respond to uh what what China is doing.
You know it isn't just uh intellectual property rights although um those things are very important cons currency manipulation very very important a country that's uh taking your innovations and stealing them and reverse engineering them it basically makes it effectively impossible for you to compete in that in that market.
But we have other problems uh Mark with China.
We have uh this is a country that has many, many uh state owned enterprises.
Um so ac actually the so the Chinese government itself owns uh many many big businesses and and when you've got that going on it makes uh breaking in for U.S. firms breaking into the Chinese market very, very difficult.
Do we need to take a harder line with China in trade negotiations?
But if we do, does it screw things up for American businesses that are currently selling their stuff in China.
No I don't think so, Mark.
If we do it uh smartly and and effectively you know it it's important not just what we say in in public to to China, but I think it's probably even more important what we say in private in in private negotiations.
And and uh putting our putting our um concerns on the table in a very firm way with the Chinese in private and and having been in some of these closed door uh meetings with the Chinese I I I know um how important it is to be consistent and to be firm both in in public and and in private.
And it also means uh working closely with Congress so that uh our congressional allies for example uh will uh be willing to carry the ball forward with us if uh w we decide that there's something we need to do legislatively with with respect to China.
I'm a little short on time but I want to get this question to you.
You represented the United States in trade negotiations in Brussels, Geneva, Seoul, other places a lot of us are concerned that President Obama is not respected around the world that he has perceived as weak.
Do you think that that's true, and does it affect our ability to make good trade relationship decisions with other countries?
Mark, I think it's without question that the perception of the reality and the perception of the president's leadership are almost one and the same.
And all I can tell you is having worked in the George Bush administration and having worked with Ambassador Portman when he was at USTR, I know that there's a
a real difference uh in the minds of our in the actions in the minds of our uh trading partners when they see uh that that uh trade actions are are uh trade uh policies are backed up with actions, but also that the president um cares enough to do the tough work that's required like getting trade promotion authority uh so that um he he can go forward into negotiations with with countries on the strongest possible footing.
So that's very important.
Thanks for joining us.
That's Richard Chris, uh who's who was nice enough to join us on the program.
He's worked in international trade and is an enthusiastic supporter of Governor Romney.
I mean, you're you're talking here about an American economy that's right now in the doldrums, and you just get the sense that if we can change the leadership here and come up with a president who wants America to succeed, that it isn't going to be that hard for us to start to turn the corner economically in this country.
My name is Mark Belling, and I'm in for rush.
Nobody knows how to take this story.
Illegal immigrants flock to youth program.
The Obama kind of amnesty thing that he issued by executive order.
In several cities now, people are signing up for these permits that they're now eligible for.
Let me read from the Wall Street Journal, armed with foreign birth certificates, school records, and proof they have grown up in the United States.
Tens of thousands of young illegal immigrants across the country applied Wednesday to a program that could allow them to remain in the country and work legally.
In Chicago, more than 10,000 people thronged to Navy Pier to take part in an application workshop held by the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights.
In Los Angeles, lines began forming at 5 a.m. outside the offices of another organization where more than 100 volunteers, including attorneys, were on hand to help applicants fill out forms.
I want to talk about this issue for a minute.
This is an example of a cowardly president taking advantage of a situation and manipulating people's hopes and dreams for purely political reasons.
Let's suppose you agree with the president that the illegal immigrants who came to the United States at a very young age, usually brought here by their parents, need to be put in a special classification.
I, in fact, am open to that argument.
It's not the same thing to come here with mom and dad when you're one or two years old and be here your entire life as it is to cross the border illegally when you're thirty-five years old.
I understand that point.
Marco Rubio has talked about that point.
I think that there are people on the conservative side who are on all sides of that issue.
But that's not my point here.
My point isn't whether or not the president is right or not in saying that there should be special status for illegals who came here at a young age.
If he really believes that, he's been the president for three and a half years.
Why not pass a law?
Why do this through a temporary executive order that expires in two years?
This was done purely for politics.
He didn't have one of the Democrats introduce a bill to do this.
He instead issued an executive order that essentially orders that the government not enforce the law on certain classes of individuals.
And he does it for political reasons because he's appealing to the Hispanic vote in an election year.
He's playing the illegal immigrants and the Hispanic community for suckers here.
He's dangling this out there saying, see, look what I did for you, knowing that it isn't permanent.
Let's suppose Romney wins.
Will Romney appeal the executive order?
No one knows.
So you're putting the individuals who are in this situation in a situation where they can't make any permanent plans for their future, and they're just beholden to Obama.
This is all about politics.
And it's cheap, and it's unfair to both sides.
It's unfair to the non-illegal immigrants, the legal immigrants who came to the United States, followed all of the rules, and have had to go through all sorts of hoops.
It's unfair to the young illegal immigrants who are now coming clean, going public, filling out these forms, Giving the government a dossier on themselves, making themselves quasi-legitimate, knowing that it could all be taken away in the future.
He's done it for purely political reasons and he waited to do it until an election year.
Why didn't he do it two years ago?
Two years ago he had majorities in both the House and Senate.
He might have even been able to pass a bill.
Why not then?
Instead, it's back in the pocket that he waits and uses until 2012 when he's going to be when he's up for re-election.
There are a lot of people who are completely opposed to any notion of a dream act.
They think that illegal means illegal.
As I said, I'm not necessarily in that category.
I don't know how we can ask people who've really never lived in their parents' country of origin to return.
Furthermore, everybody knows that ICE immigrations and customs enforcement wasn't throwing any of those people out anyway.
As long as they're here, I suppose there's not that much harm in giving them the opportunity to legitimately work in the American economy.
You could also argue that we need to have them pay at least some price for the fact that their families came here without following the rules.
That isn't my point.
My point is that Obama used the executive order process to effectively change a very controversial law.
Well, there's a reason why we require Congress to pass laws and the president to sign them.
By doing this through executive order, he's opened the door to simply passing any law he feels like passing in the future on immigration or anything else and simply saying I've got the authority via executive order.
Also, if he's willing to issue this executive order now, what's to stop the next executive order and term number two come February of next year?
Why not make every one of the illegals legal?
Why not under unwrite every law that we have?
There's no stopping him.
This is one of the fears that people have of a second term.
The immigration issue is a hard one.
My own view is that the biggest flaw in our policy is that we don't enforce our border.
The reason we have fifteen to twenty million illegal immigrants here is because we've made it so easy to get here.
And by not enforcing the border, the problem gets worse and worse and worse.
It's impossible to deport all of the illegal immigrants who are here.
So when you do choose to start deporting, you're picking and choosing some at the expense of others.
Plus, they are here.
They've got family here, it's a difficult situation.
But they clearly and undeniably broke the law.
And because we looked the other way for so long, we now have second and even third generation people who aren't considered to be here legally.
You've got this odd catch twenty-two, where if you're born in the United States, you're considered to be here legally.
But if you're brought here at a very, very young age, you're considered to be illegal.
I understand that that's a problem.
But the way Obama has dealt with it doesn't permanently solve anything.
It just keeps this in a gray area.
And he did it this way.
Because he wanted to get the political gain from it, because he knew the move would be popular in the Hispanic community.
He also allows his cowardly Democrats to not have to vote on an issue that might be unpopular for some of them in some states.
By not passing a law that creates this special status for young illegal immigrants, nobody had to take a vote.
So the Democrats for whom this would be an unpopular position don't have to suffer, whereas in the meantime, he can pose for holy pictures as the open-minded person who's helping solve the problem.
It's a cheap political stunt and it shows the lack of political courage that he has.
To Lee in Bakersfield, California, you're on the Rush Limbaugh program with Mark Belling.
Yes, Mark, um, I find it odd that all of these uh immigrants are showing up at these uh locations to be to put in their application for whatever temporary citizenship and and so forth and so on.
But when it comes to uh the states who are trying to pass the voter ID laws, the liberal side says, wait a second, some of these people are too poor to have a driver's license or to go get the um uh their IDs to show uh when they vote.
It's immigrants have all the paperwork.
If we can get illegal immigrants to produce birth certificates from Mexico, why is it that we can't get residents of Pennsylvania to go and get a photo ID from their state in order to vote?
You do make a good point there.
And this is Obama's requirement that in order for them to qualify for their special status, they've got to be able to demonstrate where it is that they are from so that we have them on record so that we can establish when they came to the United States and what their actual country of origin is.
We make them jump through all of those hoops, but it's considered this terrible hardship when we dare to suggest that in order to vote in the United States of America, you show a photo ID indicating that you are who you say you are.
You know, Lee, that was a really good point you made.
It's crazy.
I'm glad you called with it because I'll go back to my show in Milwaukee and make the exact same point and pass it off as my own.
See, this happens to me all the time.
I'll make some comment on the program and five or six months later I'll have a listener call up and say the exact same thing and be so proud of their point, and they don't realize that the reason that they got that point is that I made it as I said, five or six months ago.
I suppose I should be proud of that.
To Lexington, Kentucky, and Tom, Tom, you're on the Rush Limbaugh program with Mark Belling.
Hi, Mark, how are you today?
I'm great, thanks.
I was at a large Ford meeting in uh January, and the exact same thing you talked about earlier about natural gas uh came up.
And uh I have a lot of c a lot of my customers in eastern Kentucky have farms that have natural gas wells on them and are looking for vehicles that can do this.
Now, Ford is building a whole line of trucks, heavy duty trucks, that will be able to do that.
You just snap the canisters in, snap the canisters out, and they'll run both on natural gas and diesel or gasoline.
But they have nothing in the works for four uh for for cars.
And I asked I asked the management at Ford, why not?
And I just got these blank stairs looking at me, and they said, Well, we're committed to electric.
Yeah, and uh the the whole thing with the whole thing with natural gas has just puzzled me, and part of it was until a few years ago, natural gas was you know, it was higher in price than it was now, and the idea that natural gas would be an alternative to oiling oil and gasoline was not realistic.
In fact, most of the utility companies over the last ten years have been trying to build coal plants because coal was cheaper than natural gas.
With the with fracking technology and other ways of getting natural gas here in the United States, the price keeps dropping, and natural gas now does look like the holy grail.
It looks like the perfect energy source.
We have enough to last us for for decade after decade after decade.
We're swimming in this stuff.
It is a fuel that burns almost entirely cleanly, yet we aren't moving in that direction.
I'm not I don't want to give Obama any ideas for handing out any stimulus grants, but if we pursued using natural gas and overcoming some of the obstacles like running our cars on it and so on, there's a potentially much greater payoff for the country, not only in terms of our environment, but our economy, if we went in that direction.
Instead, we keep chasing after windmills and solar power.
I think the answer is natural gas, especially if it remains at the prices that it's at.
I wouldn't be surprised if by the year 2020 that all of these people that are buying electric cars are instead buying cars that are running on natural gas.
So long as the price stays low, and if we exploit our resources that we have here, and we drill even more aggressively for it, and we open up the lands that we're saying that are off limits, the price can't help but go down.
Thank you for the call.
My name is Mark Belling, and I'm sitting in for Rush Limbaugh.
We have covered a lot of territory today.
I don't think I'm gonna break Russia's record for most topics in a show, but I know that I'm breaking my own.
Here's one for you.
Ecuador is granting Julian Assange asylum.
He's the WikiLeaks leaker.
Ecuador says it's doing it to avoid political persecution that Assange would reach in the receive in the United States, which wants to prosecute him for leaking classified information.
The upside for Assange is that he now won't be prosecuted.
The downside is is that he apparently has to spend the rest of his life in Ecuador.
Here's a story.
I love this.
Buried.
You might think this is a big story.
The recession that ended three years ago this summer has been followed by the feeblest economic recovery since the Great Depression.
See, the thing about recessions is they always end in recovery.
That's what a recovery is.
When you get to compare your economic performance against a bad economic performance, things usually look good.
You Minnesota Vikings fans, if your team wins four games this year, you'll have a thirty-three percent improvement.
Your team will still be bad, but 33% sounds good.
For Obama's recoup numbers, for the growth rate to be as tepid as it is, is especially bad when you consider that the comparisons are being made to other bad years.
By the way, I still have my weirdest story of the day.
Let's go to Oklahoma City and Tom.
Tom, it's your turn on EIB with Mark Belling.
Hi, Mark.
Uh, you're you're doing a great job generally, but I've got a real problem with something that you just said.
Yes.
Uh, and that was you said that the immigration issue can be can be difficult.
I don't see the difficulty in understanding this.
The the purpose of bringing in illegal aliens into this country and the purpose of the Democrats in opposing uh voter identification laws are the same thing.
They are trying to dilute the power of the citizen over his own country to dilute our votes, uh to to dilute our our ability to influence uh the lawmaking process and everything.
And and there is one other thing that's I've got a I've got a let me respond to your point.
There's certainly no denying that what you say that a number of illegal immigrants are going to vote while you have to legally be a citizen in order to vote.
There's no requirement that you show any kind of citizenship papers when you do vote.
So certainly some illegals would vote, and obviously, most of their allegiance would go to the Democratic Party.
There's certainly truth to that.
It's their children.
It's the whole chain reaction of increasing these people solely so that the Socialist Party can get control of the country.
But there's a there's really a bigger issue that I have with with Rush and with you, and that is that the people are never really told how we get control of these issues.
The ordinary citizen cannot fight these things on his own.
Well, that's that's true of probably everything.
I don't want to respond speak on behalf of Rush because he wouldn't like it, and I'd never be back as a guest host.
I can tell you this.
There are people in both political parties who are all over the map on the issue of immigration.
My quarrel with the position that Obama has taken here is that it is insincere and cynical to do this via executive order, knowing that nobody can make any permanent plans for their lives, and he never had the real courage of trying to pass an actual law to make this make these changes.
Don't go away.
The weirdest story of the day is still to come, Mark Bellingham for Rush.
Here's how hard I'm working for you.
Here's how seriously I take my duties sitting in for Rush Limbaugh.
I find the following story in the Thursday Styles section of the New York Times.
Do you understand how di deep that is in digging?
The Thursday Styles section.
See, here it is.
Sales have exploded in something called P90X, which sells for a hundred and nineteen dollars and ninety-five cents.
Any idea what that is, P90X?
How did you know that?
Both Snerdley knew what that is.
It's the exercise program that Paul Ryan uses.
Ever since he was picked as vice president, he talked about his workout regimen, which is P90X.
They say that sales are exploding for this.
Beyond that, apparently Ryan is something of a sex symbol.
Quote, sure, we could talk about how Paul Ryan is the most ideologically conservative Republican to be picked for the vice presidential slot since at least 1900, Gawker wrote, but why not spend some time discussing his rocking bod.
TMZ dot com.
Representative Paul Ryan may be the most maybe the hottest vice presidential candidate ever.
Ryan.
See, all of us guys from Wisconsin kind of look like Ryan.
Glad you listened, Mark Belling.
Thanks.
