Quote of Day: Leslie Savan on Paul Ryan and the Abject Failure of Tea-Party Extremism



Quote of the day--Leslie Savan at Salon The Nation on what the tanking of the Romney-Ryan ticket may portend for the future of the American right:

Ryan was chosen to suggest that there’s a rising tide of low-body-fat young people who can’t wait to join the GOP, help update Ayn Rand, and gently ease Medicare off a cliff. But the minute Ryan seems like he’s leading a conga line into a roach motel instead, he becomes toxic. He could come to represent the abject failure of those ideas with the Republicans’ own base.
