From the GREAT STATE OF MAINE…

Late Night Snark Welcomes the (romney)-RYAN Ticket:

The Vaudeville team of Comedy & Gold

“Mitt Romney has chosen Paul Ryan as his running mate. This guy is a representative from Wisconsin. He looks like one of those guys who pretends to be a doctor on an infomercial.”
—David Letterman
-
“I mean, white, Christian, and male? That’s a triple not-threat to me. … And, of course, like all Republican VP picks, he looks exactly like Tina Fey.”
—Stephen Colbert
-
“His eyes are just so blue. It’s like looking into a Smurf’s anus.”
—Jon Stewart
-
“Mitt Romney kept his selection of Ryan as his VP nominee secret for more than a week. You know how he was able to keep it secret? He had it hidden next to his tax returns.”
—Jay Leno
-
“Mitt Romney is hoping to energize Republicans by announcing Paul Ryan as his running mate. Seriously? That’s like trying to spice up a bowl of oatmeal with MORE oatmeal.”
—Jimmy Fallon
-
“Speaking of Paul Ryan, a new poll actually found that 42 percent of Americans do not approve of Mitt Romney’s running mate, which isn’t too bad considering most Americans don’t approve of Paul Ryan’s running mate.”
—Jimmy Kimmel

More at Dan Kurtzman’s place. Oh, and this too also…

“Tell me one area where Paul Ryan and Sarah Palin would disagree. I cannot find one area. So, somehow, he’s the smartest guy in the party and she’s the stupidest woman on earth but they agree on everything.”
—Bill Maher

Yeah, but at least Paul Ryan didn’t cavort with a witch hunter in church. On the other hand, he did spend decades cheating on God by shacking up with the atheist views of his philosophical mistress, Ayn Rand. So on the scale of crazy I guess it’s a wash.
