The Nation provides a nice little takedown of the ridiculousness of Politico giving Paul Ryan their ‘Healthcare Policymaker of the Year’ award.

My question is how in God’s green earth did Ryan ever get a reputation for being some of budget guru or ideas man anyway? Nothing he has ever put forth has ever had the numbers add up and I don’t consider regurgitating the latest b.s. from ALEC or some right wing hack think tank to be the same as actually having an ‘idea.’

You know who Paul Ryan is? He’s the guy who reads Time Magazine and then tells you with great authority some stupid prescriptive he pulled out of it and then expects you to laud him for being so very well informed on public policy.
