Paul Ryan is Blowing Up

The New York Times has a long profile on Paul Ryan. The best line in the article:

Grover Norquist, the Republican strategist who heads Americans for Tax Reform, said in an interview that he did not expect Mr. Romney to lead as president. He just wants him to sign the bills that put Mr. Ryan’s vision into practice.

There's also a short video profile of Ryan focusing on his role as a leader of the Republican Party but also talking about his love of shoving his arm into the maws of catfish.

Of course, no political celebrity can be without an Internet meme in 2012, see: Hey Girl, It's Paul Ryan as Ryan joins the ranks of the recently parodied Hillary Clinton.
