Paul Ryan Seeks To Privatize His Congressional Seat

Not satisfied with just trying to privatize Social Security, Rep. Paul Ryan (That'llCostYou$15-WI) wants to privatize his Congressional seat. According to Politico, "It will cost $15 to ask Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) a question in person during the August congressional recess."

We say the moochers should be grateful. His minimum asking price is normally $350..

This actually happened in Tennessee.

The homeowner will be on Countdown with Keith Olbermann tonight.
