Speaker Paul "Marathon" Ryan: "Hide Your Face" Award Contender for 2016

Awe Crap, Did I Really Put That Agency Down 

(Yes, you did)

Call it the Ryan Trophy

Open mouth insert foot the way Mr. Ryan did, and who also posted this in a tweet (BTW: what the hell is it with Republicans and tweeting policy statements)?

His tweet and the whole story from here – a must read to further see the hypocrisy of this man. Ryan had this to say about the newly created Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), whose job is to protect consumers from financial malfeasance:

Now as the late great Paul Harvey would say, “The rest of the story.”

The CFPB just fined what's supposed to be one of the best run banks in the country — Wells Fargo — $185 million for allegedly creating 2 million bank and credit card accounts for customers without their knowledge so that bank employees could hit their rather ambitious sales goals and get — earn isn't quite the right word here — bonuses.

Continue the story here. And, Mr. Ryan, you can take your foot out of your mouth anytime now. Really.

Thanks for stopping by and vote for Ryan to win the award … he truly deserves it
