‘Biggest Brown-Noser’: Paul Ryan Won Unflattering Title In High School
“Biggest brown-noser” Paul Ryan has come a long way since high school.
The man selected to be running mate to presumptive Republican nominee was once seen as a kiss-up in his younger years, earning the title “biggest brown-noser” as a senior in high school, The Washington Post reported.
It’s not like Paul Ryan wasn’t popular at Joseph A. Craig High School in Janesville, Wisconsin. The Republican Congressman was also elected junior class president and prom king, but his title as “biggest brown-noser” has gained media attention in the two days since Mitt Romney officially made Ryan his running mate.
Paul Ryan’s selection to the vice president slot is expected to energize the GOP that is often lukewarm on Romney himself. Ryan made his mark as chairman of the House Budget Committee where he put forward the Republicans’ answer to President Obama’s budget plans.
Ryan crafted a long-term strategy aimed at reducing the national deficit that leans heavily on entitlement reform, one that has been seen by Republicans as bold and by Democrats as a way to gut Medicare.
But even critics have given Ryan credit for stepping forward with some kind of a plan when many other politicians have simply avoided the issue.
“The commitment Mitt Romney and I make to you is this,” said “biggest brown-noser” Paul Ryan at one of his first appearances since being named to the Romney ticket. “We won’t duck the tough issues — we will lead! We won’t blame others — we will take responsibility!”
Paul Ryan’s title as “biggest brown-noser” could have something to do with the number of activities he undertook, the Los Angeles Times reported. Ryan was a member of the history club, the Latin club, the letterman’s club, the pep club, the ushers club, International Geographic Society, the Model U.N. program, and student council.

Oh get real Romney, you are who you are and any way you can keep yours and let the middle class and poor people pay your way, you'll take it. Just like your precious "daddy" did. Sorry, but you don't fool me.

The only Republicans this is going to excite are the hard-liners. Moderates now have no choice at all. It's an all or nothing situation with far left and far right and no compromise. If we keep it balanced in Congress and the Presidency, maybe gridlock isn't a bad thing.

Making this high school comment something to talk about is but one example of how far our media has fallen from excellence. Really? From his HS yearbook?

It's not their money! What do they mean by entitlements when they are on government rolls themselves? Why should Americans gravel to the super rich to get what their taxes pay for? Which brings me to "why the heck do they believe they are entitled to government free checks when they did absolutely no work in Congress and drew hefty paychecks. Then they say families who really need help have to work for pay. We should demand a refund from those lazy arrogant slouches. It is always a double standard with them. They want to nix middle class public servant jobs which classic Romney! He is going to sell those jobs to the highest bidders and outsource them to his coporate super rich cronies. They treat the needy in our society like lepards calling them poor and lazy when it was Romney that put them out of work then made them burdens to the American tax rolls for food, medical and unemployment. How dare them tell US they are going to eliminate entitlement programs when they created most of the need! How inhumane are these people? then get so insulted when the truth is spoken. It seems to me the only group that feels entitled is the GOP super rich, radical tea party conservatives who's brown tea bags are apparently stuck up Paul's nose.

The moral of the story is…..Brown nosing does work.

Remember, in Cuyahoga County every eligible person on the election rolls can vote by mail. To avoid the lines that we can already see set in motion, log onto Cuyahoga County Board of Elections. The new rules are first you have to ORDER APPLICATION BY MAIL, we did and it came in a couple of days. That's new, if you were previously in the system the Application & Ballot was automatically sent to you. Not so anymore…you have to apply for the application. Also, you have to mail with your own stamps which is a poll tax but if most of us implement this process we can avoid the lines votef early and make room for the rest. GET THE WORD OUT NOW!

What kind of douchebag reads this crapola unless they got here by way of the Drudge Report? The left is showing their ass everyday with this kind of middle school wanker writing. I think Ill hit an Obombo rally later today and kick the shit out of some white trash LibTard. I don't blame the neegerz for voting Obombo since they are ingnorant yard apes and its a "tribal thang" to them but any non negroid should know better at this point…

Leave it to the Libtards to look back into high school to find something as silly as year book entries….But can they find Obooboo's college records…..passport used to travel to Pak-e-stan….etc.

What a relief! I think I will sleep better tonight knowing that the kiss-up actions of a young high school kid 25 years ago have been uncovered and publicly exposed so that we can label him for the rest of his life. This childish behavior, as described by the reporter, is surely more serious than the actions of the 'adult' sitting president a few years ago who had an affair with an intern in the Oval Office. I'm glad these people are uncovering and defining the real issues of this election for us.

Model UN program. I'm guessing that means he is a fan of Agenda 21. That is NOT a good thing.

Wow, the DNC is really digging now, and the party media is happily shoveling…

Yeah, because there's a limited pool of money. Doh…

Maybe there is…I know absolutely nothing about him. But I certainly don't care anything about what he did in High School. We have a standing President who attended a madrassa – and we were told that didn't matter. Anyway, they were just kids. I think the author would fit in quite well with the style of writing at the Onion.
