I'm not saying you're wrong, but CNN reported Ryan's comments as something to the effect of "He'll be a valuable member of Congress".

Hey, I'm trying to wring humor out of pedantry over here!

Montana apparently has at least one giant douchebag. At least, until he leaves for Washington.

I laughed harder at that than I probably should have. I think its the avatar that seals the deal.

She took off her blouse, revealing pink panties? That's some… unconventional… anatomy.
