Good. More people are looking into Ryan's lies.

Since When Did Paul Ryan Become a Liar? -- Daily Intel
What happened?
Heres what has not happened: Paul Ryan did not begin telling an unprecedented series of lies that suddenly exposed a predilection for shading the truth. His marathon boast is certainly odd and may well be a deliberate lie, but it could also be a simple failure to recall. The New Yorkers Nicholas Thompson, arguing for the prosecution, contends that for someone who does run seriously, missing a marathon time by as a vast a level as Ryan does is nearly impossible. On the other hand, given that the race occurred in 1990 and was Ryans only marathon, perhaps the explanation is that Ryan just isnt a serious runner.
And Ryans Tampa speech, while pretty dishonest, was not especially so by Ryans standards. Here you can see why Ryan must view the sudden attack of the truth squad so bewilderingly. Ryan has been saying things like this, and worse, all along. The bit where he sadly shakes his head and blames President Obama for the failure of the Bowles-Simpson deficit commission that Ryan killed himself has been a staple of the Ryan shtick for two years. Reporters usually bat their eyes and coo sympathetically. Now it has become evidence of his duplicity .
