Feinberg confronted Ryan, accusing him of hypocrisy for drinking an expensive wine while advocating reduced spending for Medicare and Medicaid.

So if Ryan would have ordered Boones Farm that would shore up Medicare/Medicaid funding?

She worked in 2004 for Sen. John Kerry who bought a 7 Milllion Dollar Sail Boat ( made in New Zealand) docked it in rhode Island to avoid 500,000.00 in his home state of Massacuhuetts. Hmmmmmm Hmmmm Hmmmm

No, but it darn well woulda looked better.

Ryan is NOT a newbie. He's been on the Hill a while now. He knows about appearances. And he knows about ethics regs.

And despite that, Ryan still screwed up.

He made a $300+ screw up. How many of his constituents can make a $300+ screw up like that? I guarantee you that's what a lot of 'em will be wondering. Why they treat 300 bucks with a lot more respect than Ryan does. God knows, that's what the heck I'm wondering.
